Excellent hotel in a good location (very quiet at night which was a plus), only a 5 minute walk to Earl’s Court tube station with plenty of cafes and restaurants around! Not far from the V&A too! We booked the garden room which is located at the back of the hotel and pleasantly surprised by how spacious it was as well as having our own private patio area. Super service from friendly and helpful staff. Would definitely book to stay here again next time we’re in London! :)

Great little spot
Room was good, small (as expected) but comfortable. I was surprised by how worn out and frayed the towels were. The staff were lovely. My room was right next to the elevator, so got a bit of noise/vibration from that but it wasn't terrible. Otherwise, the AC unit provides excellent background white noise.

Tired room decor. No towels in room on arrival. Towels when supplied were little larger than hand towels. TV in room was the smallest ever encountered.
