Single room was upgraded on arrival to a double, but that's where the positives of the experience ends. Shower in room on 3rd floor was just a drip. When I called reception they didnt even question it, so i presume knew about the water pressure problem! He said only other room spare was behind reception on ground floor, after I... More

You get the willies just entering this jail-cell sized room. And at what works out to around $150 per night shock might well be your second thought. On the good side, the staff is friendly and the hotel is located in a pretty nice area, about a five minute walk to the Underground.

The Avni is in a great location - easy walking distance to Gloucester Road or Earl's Court tube stations. We arrived a bit early, and the staff were happy to let us leave our bag in their luggage room. Our room was a good size. Bed was comfortable. The entire room was spotlessly clean and the decor was simple, modern... More

We selected this hotel based on the area and the price as we were visiting the Chelsea Flower show. I booked 2 single rooms for 2 nights for myself and my friend and we were given a double room each, but the rooms were so small that I could not imagine 2 people sharing them. One room was slightly larger... More

Our room was on the ground floor because was scared of the "no elevator" reviews I read somewhere. Proved to be inaccurate as the elevators were working fine, and we'd given up a good view from a higher floor for it. But overall the room was great, high ceiling and just enough for a couple with a lot of luggage.... More

You can survive in the hotel and it's one of the most affordable options, but the rooms were quite poor. Pros + Good location + Friendly staff Cons - Complimentary breakfast is a chaos - Rooms are really small and need some refurbishing/more attention - Noisy in the mornings/not very well isolated

Booked a room for the night. It's a basic hotel so were not expecting a lot and were happy with the room they gave us at the back overlooking a quiet mews. However, the windows were the dirtiest I have seen in a long time, so much so that, when the sun shone on them, you could only barely see... More

The hotel is situated in a very nice area of London : South Kensington has beautiful Victorian houses and nice shops & eating addresses. We had two rooms at the back and they were very quiet, no noise at all. The rooms are rather small, but big enough when spending all day in town. The Gloucester Road Underground is within... More
