Lovely hotel, excellent staff. Pretty courtyard garden.
8.0All the staff were excellent and as we arrived late the chef made a special effort to make us a hasty sandwich and fries.
There was no hot water via the shower and no plug in the sink. There were also no coffee/tea facilities.

Value for money, great place to stay for a trip to London
10.0A personal approach, very helpfull staff, nice, quiet and big room compared to other London hotels. Conveniently located nearby two underground stations and execellent breakfast.

Perfect for a city stay for 4-5 days
8.0The room was small, but just about right for 2 people for a couple of days in London. Also the location made up for it. Earl's Court station is just 3-5 mins walk and the road to the station has everything from a pub to restaurants, spas, a grocery place etc. One can also take a nice longish walk all the way to Notting…
Nothing, it met my expectations.

Overall ok
7.0Fair value for money, good location with about 7-10 minute walks to public transportation
Room much smaller than expected or shown in photo, especially the shower. Air conditioner was a small and noisy portable one they didn’t really serve its purpose on the warm days. Also the safe box didn’t work, but staff gave me a key to lock it instead.

An enjoyable stay in a good location
8.0Well-situated location, friendly staff, ample room size, good choice of breakfast options, rooms at the rear of the hotel are quiet.
There was nothing in particular to dislike but suggested areas for improvement are that the furnishings were slightly tired in the room we booked, the pillows were unsupportive and the bedside lamps would benefit from dimmers. A positional shower head would also improve the facilities.
