    No luxury, but just for sleeping ok
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • Standard Single Room
    • Stayed 4 nights

    - room very small but quite ok for just sleeping in it - the interior looked in many places "done do-it-yourself", some refurbishment and maintenance by professionals (flush/clean the drainpipes, renew the silicone seals in the bath, exchange worn mountings, apply some new colour) could significantly improve the appearance - the only real negative thing: the escape situation in case of fire; very narrow corridors, doors opening opposite to the escape direction, windows practically not to open (except for a 1" gap, if you're strong enough you might try to smash the window and kick out the wooden frame); definitely nothing for vulnerable persons (children, disabled); but at least fire detectors are installed

    - good location close to the Underground; many shops and restaurants around (you will definitely not starve) - bed much more comfortable than it looks :-) - very quiet at night (I had a ground floor room towards the street, might be different in rooms towards the railroad side)

    While I admire they were trying to provide everything a traveller might need, including an iron, the space meant that everything was tiny--the bathroom, in particular, was ridiculously small. There were 4 or 5 steep steps inside the room to get to the main level, be aware of that if that might be a problem. Also, the bed, while comfortable enough, was built in, like on a platform, and was incredibly high, belly button high for me, 5'2". I had to literally hop on my bum to get on. Sounds more fun than it was!

    The location is great, a quick walk from Earl's Court Tube station, so excellent connections into London. Lots of restaurants in the area, including a gem of a fully vegan Thai restaurant, Mali. The room had everything you would need, but everything was so compact that I wouldn't recommend a long stay there. Other rooms are bound to be bigger than mine was. Given that it is in an old building, I really appreciated there was a lift.

    We found the tv in the room wasn’t tuned in and we had to do it, not enough loo roll provided and some of the lights didn’t work.

    We liked the easy access/location and the staff being helpful when needed.

    I ordered room service breakfast, which was unfortunately nearly 30 minutes late on one morning. The food was great, but I didn't have time to enjoy it all.

    The room was very nice, looking fresh and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The location is excellent, being right near restaurants, pubs and the Tube station.

    that there was bags rubbish, mattresses outside on the street where the hotel was.

    We liked the fact that our hotel was not far from tube station or places to eat. The room was fine except for the fact we had a little mouse visit us but went to reception reported it but they were unable to move us until the next day which did happen and all our luggage was moved for us, they are also refunding us for that one night.

    There was a MOUSE in our room. I entered the room after a long day, and it came from under the bed and zipped out under the door. Told the staff at the front, all I was told was "sorry about that". Could hear pretty well anything going on outside of the room as well, not sound proof at all.

    Thought the room was fairly clean and comfortable. Close to Earl Court tube.

    I was right above a train line. I'm guessing that's why the room price was lower than it might have been in London. I didn't get much sleep. Trains were noisy until past midnight and then started again at the crack of dawn.

    Nice cosy room. I liked the high bed. The room was small and compact but more than enough for me for one night. The bathroom was clean and the shower was good.

    Very disappointed that there was no warm water to shower or take a bath. Two cold showers in two days! After the first, I spoke with staff, but nothing was done to remedy this. Not sure I'll come back, which is a shame because otherwise it seemed a lovely hotel.

    Lovely location and very comfortable bed.
