3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 June 2013 NEW

Good location about a 5 minute walk from Earl's Court Station and bus lines. Very small rooms in a converted apartment building. Definitely not for anyone with disabilities - no handicapped access. Rooms, hallways, elevators are small. Don't expect help with luggage or doors as staff is very limited. Nice pub but small with a reading room atmosphere. Nice patio,... More

Handy for the tube, that's it. Small horrible room, really bad bed, terrible breakfast. At least I was in a better room than my work colleague was subjected too. It's this type of hotel that gives London a bad reputation.

I stayed at this hotel recently and was supremely disappointed at how small and run down my room was. I had a "double" room, which had barely enough floor space to store our 2 suitcases. The beds were old and so uncomfortable. You could feel the inner springs digging into your body, which made more some pretty restless sleep. There... More

When we arrived the reception did not have a record of our booking, despite booking nearly four months in advance and receiving an email from them the day before saying they were looking forward to our stay! We were kept waiting for about 20 minutes while they sorted it out. We were eventually allocated our room (101 - oh the... More

This is definitely one of the best London budget hotels I have stayed at. Got singles at 65 p.p..n. on Booking.com and that was a bargain compared to other London hotels. The hotel seems to have a rather high number of single rooms that vary in size. I got a fairly large, a colleague a rather much smaller, but still... More

I stayed here for three nights starting on May 28th. I had booked through Otels.com for a single room, but when I got to the hotel I was put in a twin room, without even asking for an upgrade, which was a nice surprise. The room was on the basement level (#49) so obviously didn't have a view, but was... More

Stayed with husband on 20th May 2013 for one night. Good hotel close to the tube but surprisingly quiet! Staff were helpful and friendly. Breakfast was average, we got ours as part of a deal on the room, we wouldn't have paid full price for it! Generally, very happy with room and would stay again.

Stayed for one night (Sunday) on 20 May. Very impressed with the hotel. It's the cheapest we have paid in London (possibly because of a Sunday) but excellent value. The hotel is tucked away in a quiet road with beautiful gardens in front of it. The room was lovely and clean and the breakfast was excellent. The staff were all... More

Our check in was efficient and friendly, Our double room at the back of building, overlooking gardens, was tranquil. The bath and shower worked well.

I booked in for a night as we were attending a concert in the Royal Festival and the price including breakfast was very keen. Check in was cheery and our room was small but had all the facilities that we needed, tea and coffee, flat screen TV, nice compact bathroom with a shower over the bath. To top it all,... More
