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).

We like the hotel, the cleanliness and the bed. I love the lightning and fixtures. The noise outside the room can be loud during mornings. We wouldn’t mind vacuums but not loud voices. Overall, we enjoyed our stay with this hotel.
