This hotel was affordable for a couple of nights in London, close to a tube station, handy shops and some nice places to eat. Our room was a little outdated, but tidy and a decent size BUT there were a few hairs on the bedding and a strange smell in the room which meant we kept needing to open the window to air it out which made us cold. The staff were friendly and we stored luggage after check out. Overall it was a nice stay and a good price, but could improve on cleanliness.

My tv never worked. The shower was a minimal amount of water coming out. The bed was comfortable. The staff were very kind and helpful. The towels were very well used. One towel isn’t enough and I never received a washcloth. Thankfully I brought my own. I’m not sure whether the price was ok, I think I would stay here again but get my concerns dealt with before booking.

It was clean and price reasonable. However, if you need to use the internet, there is something in there, tgat blocks your mobile date and you are forced to use their wifi, which was extremely terrible. And you have to give permission to gather some of your data. Although I gave that permission connection was extremely law and I couldn't complete my work.

Beside a reception that badly mishandled my reservation, I was shocked to find myself with bad bedbug bites a few days after leaving the hotel. I am being VERY careful to make this statement, but I arrived to and from the hotel from my home and so there is no other possible source. UPDATE: In my separate review the hotel questions why I did not comment about the bedbugs during my stay. Obviously the hotel has not taken the time to inform themselves that typically the bites do not manifest for days. Perhaps if they took the issue more seriously they would not have to dissemble legitimate reviews.

Average place to stay, however very convenient- close to east links on tube lines. Room was very basic, matress on the bed was in serious need of updating (springy and uncomfortable). The lower floor rooms do not have a view (unless you count an outdoor staff corridor a view).

Good hotel for a short stay, I’ve been there for 15 days, mattress is way too soft, the bathroom is really small, I barely fit the shower and I’m not a tall person, TV worked partially, just one outlet, staff was polite. Short stay only.

Good value. Small basic rooms in an older building but nice place to stay for the price. Clean and easy to get too and from hotel using the underground with about 5 min walk. Essentially everywhere in central London is within about 30-40 minute ride.

I just needed a cheapish room for the night and this was just perfect for that. Check in was good and helpful, room was big and clean and tidy. Shower rail could do with a bit of tlc but otherwise all good.

This place is very conveniently located. It was close to the tube station, and many great restaurants. Room was kept clean daily so very nice to come back to a clean room. Friendly staff. View from our room was not good but we didn't stay in the room longer than necessary so not an issue. We were able to leave our luggages until we had to go to the airport without any issues.

Pretty sub par
The hotel was ok the reception chap when we arrived was lovely however the room was sub par. The beds were uncomfortable the bathroom was dirty and things were not attached to the wall properly. The shower had no pressure and kept going scalding hot. There was a pile of mattresses and the bin area as our view out the window. The heating would not turn off so it was boiling and the milk went off. Oh and it stank of weed.

Dear GuestYou did not leave any details why you scored us low. After checking your booking details you complained about the small size of the room, which is standard size for London. Our reception staff tried to help and offered you another room, but you didn't even want to see alternative rooms and decided to leave the hotel.

Good value for money. Very pleasant helpful and discreet staff. Main issues are in the bathroom: Push style toilet flusher requires super thumb effort to flush. Lever style would be much easier to use. Sink plug hole needs covering. Not nice looking down a big hole while brushing teeth. Either a hanging rail or more towel hooks needed especially in twin bed rooms. One hook in the bathroom isn’t enough for two people. Also, more outlets in room for charging laptops.

Give it a go
On approaching the hotel you can only admire the hotel facade and the general square that it sits within. We were in the area for a football match and it was an easy 20 minutes walk to Chelsea Fc and i believe is close to QPR. The receptionist on our arrival (Sat 6th 15 00pm) was friendly and was able to get us on our way up to our room within minutes. The hotel is a three star hotel situated in an old London building therefore i have taken into account this with my review. The room we had was clean as was the hotel in general it was quiet on our arrival thru the night and in the morning although the hotel was i believe at near capacity. The rooms are a little quirky but comfy and warm. The hotel is of good value and i would stay here again in the future as it is close to the tube and close to a number of dent and reasonably priced eateries on Earls Court Road.

The property is low cost in an expensive area. Thus it is conveniently located, but the rooms are petite and perhaps in need of a little refresh. However, all the facilities are spotlessly clean and everything was functional. I would happily stay again if I were in this part of London with the same budget.
