Great location.. Ok hotel
For the hotel location and price, this was an OK Hotel. Pros:The Breakfast was OK (eggs, different types of bread, jams, watered down OJ and Apple Juice, different types of coffee, cereal, yogurt, and two different cheeses), within minutes from the Earls Court Station (which less then 30 min into the city and 45 min from the airport). The room had a nice selection of tea's and coffee which we used once while we were there. Cons: Internet was not included (even when I told them I was going to use the internet at the hotel next door for free they still wouldn't give me a credit), a dirty towel was left hanging in the bathroom, the bed has plastic on the mattress, most TV stations don't come in. the room had a weird smell and the carpet had a weird stain (but that's typical of an old hotel), we had to go through 4 doors from the lobby to get to our room (and it was on the first floor). again, it was a cheap hotel at a great location so I would recommend to someone on a tight budget.

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
When you get to Heathrow Airport, go to the information booth and purchase an Oyster Card, it will automatically give you the lowest price for the trip. At the end of the trip, return to the ticket booth to get a refund for any unused amount still left on the card, and also the deposit for the card will be returned to you. Use the Metro to get into the city from Heathrow, it will take you right in and is very cheap!

Decent hotel option for the price
Hotel was nice and the amenities were very modern. The rooms also had a nice design. However, the internet was extremely expensive at 4 pounds for 2 hours. If possible to find free internet for a slightly pricier hotel, may be better if you plan on using internet.

Surprisingly good
I've stayed many hotels near Earl's Court. This one is simply the best. I wish I had found it sooner. The bathroom was awesome (new shower and new toilet). The staff (especially Marco) was courteous and really helpful. The only 'minus' would be the breakfast room -- too tiny. For the price I paid, I'd definitely go back.

Good location
The Hotel was in a good location and the room as well as the breakfast were clean and sufficient. Online it said that there was a pool, They do not have a pool in or out so was disappointed with that. All in all though a good find.

Just a bed and a shower, but great location!
Can't beat the location, but beware that the room is small (though we have heard that rooms in general in London are small). Staff were friendly. Ultimately we chose it for its fantastic location right next to the subway. If you just need a bed and a shower this is perfect. If you plan on spending any time in your room, you might want to look elsewhere.

Close to Tube
This was a last minute booking for me, and it served its purpose. The hotel is undergoing renovations and that was an issue for me. I don't think they should have placed my room in the area where they were recarpeting and painting. I had voiced my concern to one of the male staff members and he just brushed it off. It was close to the tube and that was nice. Given what I know now, I would not have booked at this location.

Our Week in London
Great location! Very nice employees. Clean and updated. VERY simple. VERY small. Good price for London and the location next to the Underground stop. Nice high street with restaurants and shopping. Not fancy, but good for the price.

cheap in all terms
was really cheap to stay, looked modern, but many drawbacks: phone in the room was not working, slow internet, no iron (have to cary myself from reception and back with iron board), some plastic blanket under the sheets i guess to preserve the bed - no comfort. on other hand it looked pretty modern, nice shower, everything new.

Great Location
This is a nice hotel although the carpet is a little threadbare. The location to the tube is fantastic. Right around the corner from the Earl's Court station. Plenty of restaraunts in the area. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would stay here again.
