    The TV screen was small and there were no decaff tea or coffee options in the room

    Breakfast was very good although you can only have the English cooked breakfast and the continental breakfast bits laid out - all lovely. I say ‘only’ as you can’t order anything else from the menu without paying for it separately eg pancakes.

    For a small hotel like this, it is strange that their bathroom towels are so raggedy. It really takes it down a notch.

    The location is terrific. Less than a five minute walk to Earl's Court underground. The neighborhood is beautiful. My room was great and had an ample amount of closet space. Breakfast was good as well. There was enough variety to suit everyone.

    The decor could maybe do with some modernising but it was a nice vibe throughout regardless

    Booked a standard double room. The pictures on the website and booking.com show a room with a double bed situated in the centre of the room. We actually received a room with a double bed against a wall similar to the standard singles the hotel offers but with a double bed. The receptionist said this is due to layouts changes, however I do think most clients would not expect a bed against a wall considering the images of a standard double room.

    Well presented. Clean. Quiet room.

    The phone was plugged out from the socket and didn't work when tried to plug in. The windows aren't very secure. Every time I opened the room door the windows would rattle. There was also a sound from the window from the wind blowing outside. Might irritate light sleepers.

    Location of the hotel is excellent! Clean bedding and friendly staff. Could borrow UK adapter from reception.

    The towels and bathrobe need replacing. Even as a value hotel they were too old.

    This is a convenient location to Central London and to Heathrow airport. It’s right in the Heathrow tube line.

    There was no towel for the bathroom floor. That wasn't expected of a hotel of this rating. The room was fine but as next to the lift a little noisy at night.

    Clean and warm room but that was to be expected. Good location. As ever the staff were efficient and friendly. Breakfast pretty decent. All in all, a good hotel in a good location.

    almost nothing. just be careful on the rainy days in London, the front stairs can be slippery....

    I try to stay a the hotel on ever trip to London. There are 2 metro tube stations within walking distance and a number of restaurants close by. An easy walk to Hyde Park, several major museums and more. There are several room options and on this trip I stayed in one of the garden rooms as well as others. I noticed that the carpet had been updated in The staff is always friendly and helpful, the room comfortable. the building. It is also helpful to have a restaurant in the hotel if you choose not to go out after a full day of touring.

    Room service had missed few things (tea/coffee tray almost empty, no milk, minibar not full, free toiletries unsealed and half used by previous guest - meh!). Please note that reception will try to take a paper copy of your passport at check in. Hotel management needs to go on a UK data protection training course !

    For the price it was still good value for money. Convenient location. Fairly neat and clean, good amenities.
