We stayed for one night and really enjoyed it. We loved how the room was decorated, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable day. In particular, we found the kitchenette to be well appointed. The location was very convenient, only a few minutes walk from Earl’s Court tube station, and despite the hotel being located on a busy road, it was very quiet in the room so we could sleep. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
we love this hotel did two trips to London recently and stayed there both times. very friendly staff, rooms were spotlessly clean, wonderful shampoo, very warm and cozy in January, stunning decor, steps from earls court station, and great cafe and restaurant

Hotel was well situated with lots of restaurants and shopping nearby however room looked a bit dated and could have done with a deeper clean. The grout in the shower was stained, fabric on the furniture had stains and there was spilt coffee on the table when we checked in.
I really enjoyed the ambience of the hotel and my room. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had ample counter space. Everyone I encountered were extremely kind and took great care in what they were doing. For the room and the location, it was a great value. I wish I had tried the pizza. :(
Staff were great. However, our room smelt like it had been smoked in. Air conditioning was stuck on heat so had to sleep with the window open by busy high street.
Great hote. Super friendly and helpful staff. Spacious and well equipped studio apartment. Nice and warm in January. All amenities. Modern. Close to tube station, food, drinks and groceries.
The location is excellent and the room is very quiet (we stayed at the courtyard side). The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The great thing was also a laundry machine in the room!
The colors of the room are not our favorites, and the rug and the lampshade are not our style but okay. Overall, a good place and the pizza place is good downstairs.
