Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is like a mini-apartment, perfect for families, with plenty of room compared to many London hotels. The rooms are nice and well laid out, although lacking ample cupboard space. It was a little warm during my stay.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, though nice, were a little small and located in a noisy area. The service was a hit or miss with some staff showing great kindness while others seemed disinterested. The location was convenient for public transportation but slightly far from central London. The dining options were limited and repetitive, and the facilities were average.
My stay at the hotel was a blend of positives and negatives. The rooms had everything anyone could want or need, but cleanliness was an issue with mold in the shower and long hair on the floor. The kitchen area was well-equipped, though a fresh coat of paint would do wonders.
My stay at this hotel was quite pleasant overall. The location is very convenient with easy access to public transportation and a nearby Tesco. The room was adequate for my husband and me, considering we were mostly out exploring London during our holiday. However, some room maintenance issues were not attended to, like the bed not being made up and no towel changes or rubbish cleared.
The hotel had all the comforts of home, from a fridge to a convection oven, washer/dryer, dishwasher, and even a deck. The room was spacious, adequately equipped with lovely soft towels, bedding, toiletries, hair-dryer, and iron. However, the service could have been better, with poor attention to details like cleaning and maintenance. The location was convenient, close to a tube stop and a Tesco store, but not exceptional. Dining was a bit of a letdown with a lack of seating and poor food quality. Overall, the facilities were decent but could use some improvement.
The hotel is conveniently located near Earls Court tube station, making it easy to go around the city. The rooms are spacious, clean, but lack proper windows for natural light. The service was friendly overall, except for some initial issues with the Manager. Dining options were varied and inclusive, catering more towards European tastes. The location is excellent for exploring the city, with easy access to transport links.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room I stayed in was smaller than expected, offering limited cupboard space for longer stays, but it was very clean and tidy with a comfortable bed and sofa. Unfortunately, the room wasn't ready at the stated check-in time of 3 pm.
