Even though the property was lovely and the staff were friendly the overall stay wasnt the greatest. Small room and bed was just a pull out sofa bed. Another couple that were staying in the room next to ours managed to gain access to our room which we werent overally pleased about.

Good- not a bad position Bad- we got there after a long day of walking in 30 degree heat, the reception was in 1 building, so the gentleman gave us key for another building so took the heavy case didn't ask if i wanted any help. Went to try and get in the building but it didnt fit but the gentleman wanted us to go to him!!!! Eventually he came but he didnt offer to carry the case as the room was actually in a 3rd building! The room was really small and if you wanted to go to the toilet you had to leave the door open as it was too small 😒. Our next issue was the drug taking openly 5 doors down. I would definitely not stay here again. Also if your a fan of tea/coffee beware of asking for more as they ask for your room number.

The bed was abaolitely horribe, objectively. At first I thought it felt like a waterbed but it simultaneously had many shary and uncomfortable bits pokimg out of it. The area and everything else was what I needed, but I don't think there's an excuse for having the matress in that condition.

This is a hotel that houses travelers on tours primarily. The rooms are compact, but modern, clean, and quiet. Make sure that you get a room where the air conditioning works. They booked me in a room on a five nights stay where the air air-conditioning did not work. I had to vehemently complain, but finally they changed my room after two nights. Not the most attentive front desk/reception.

Located close to the high street and Earl’s Court train station. Lots of options for restaurants and fast food. Room was clean however very narrow and small. Bathroom door does not close fully. If staying here, ask for a room not on the lower ground level as you can hear the footsteps/any noise from floor above and loud noises from housekeeping starting their day in the morning (it’s impossible to sleep in, be prepared to be woken up early).
