this hotel is a typically old London hotel with acceptable service and good breakfast - though it can get a little crowded.However the position is great - a side street off Earl's Court Road facing leafy private gardens.The tube is a five minute walk and offers a quick direct ride from Heathrow being on the Piccadilly line which then offers... more

all reviews i read before booking this hotel were right. the hotel is a perfect location with subway only about 2 mins away. only complaint and it very small was that lift so slow. would highly recommend it to anyone going to london just for holiday. willie waterford ireland. more

I picked this hotel as I needed to stay in the Earls Court area and wanted to be near the tube so I wouldn't have to drag my suitcase very far. This hotel is ideally situated. Check in was efficient and friendy. I was on the 4th floor - there is a lift. My room was at the back and... more

It was only with great trepidation that I took a chance that the guests who had loved this hotel were more precise than those who hated it.

Cracky floors, very diry carpets, walls in need of paint, dirty bed sheets, water pressure problems at the bathroom. Overall, if you can book this hotel for around 40GBP its a fair deal.

I booked this hotel as a 40th Birthday surprise and emailed the hotel advising it was a 40th but got no reply....perhaps I was hoping for to much! Arrived, checked in and all ok, had asked for joining rooms as we have 2 young children and got rooms on different floors which makes sharing the shampoo and toothpaste a cardiac... more

Well, great location, just a shame about the cockroaches! Two of us stayed here for 3 nights (each booked singles) and by the end of our stay we had slept in 5 rooms. Our first single rooms were rather grimy and at about midnight the cockroaches came out! We were given insect spray and then moved; my new room (admittedly... more
