Good location

The Hotel was in a good location and the room as well as the breakfast were clean and sufficient. Online it said that there was a pool, They do not have a pool in or out so was disappointed with that. All in all though a good find.

Just a bed and a shower, but great location!

Can't beat the location, but beware that the room is small (though we have heard that rooms in general in London are small). Staff were friendly. Ultimately we chose it for its fantastic location right next to the subway. If you just need a bed and a shower this is perfect. If you plan on spending any time in your room, you might want to look elsewhere.

Close to Tube

This was a last minute booking for me, and it served its purpose. The hotel is undergoing renovations and that was an issue for me. I don't think they should have placed my room in the area where they were recarpeting and painting. I had voiced my concern to one of the male staff members and he just brushed it off. It was close to the tube and that was nice. Given what I know now, I would not have booked at this location.

Our Week in London

Great location! Very nice employees. Clean and updated. VERY simple. VERY small. Good price for London and the location next to the Underground stop. Nice high street with restaurants and shopping. Not fancy, but good for the price.

cheap in all terms

was really cheap to stay, looked modern, but many drawbacks: phone in the room was not working, slow internet, no iron (have to cary myself from reception and back with iron board), some plastic blanket under the sheets i guess to preserve the bed - no comfort. on other hand it looked pretty modern, nice shower, everything new.

Great Location

This is a nice hotel although the carpet is a little threadbare. The location to the tube is fantastic. Right around the corner from the Earl's Court station. Plenty of restaraunts in the area. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.

An Interesting Hotel

So many steps and so many different levels; almost like a maze. Great for those who travel lightly. The staff were awersome; they were very accommodating. The first room we got had no heat; its heater wasn't working, so we moved to another room that seemed to have been recently remodeled. The heater worked, but quit on us on our third night. Had to use a space heater instead. Televisions in the two rooms didn't work at all. No chair(s) in a somewhat small room (that has a double bed and a single bed). More surprising was the complimentary breakfast which wasn't stated in the description, and that was much appreciated. The hotel is within a walking distance to various restaurants, bus stops, and train station. All in all we enjoyed our experience at the hotel. The price was decent for a four-night stay.

Very ordinary

The single rooms in this hotel are the smallest I've ever seen and quite cold. Breakfast is very average but at least its included in the price. The location is pretty good with the tube station about 400 yards away and shops, restaurants and pubs very close by.
