last minute internet booking bargain

double room for two was only £42... two minutes walk from Earl's court tube station... free shower gel, shampoo, tea, coffee and a complimentary breakfast... the hotel is a bit old and there is some renovation going on downstairs where the breakfast room is... overall a positive experience

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.

Small rooms, like in London usually.

Small rooms, like in London usually. Location is excellent for people, visiting Earls Court exhibitions. it's 3 minute walk to exibition halls and also to tube staation. 10-15 minutes to Oxford or Picadilly by tube. Otherwise its quite average 3-star London hotel.

An Interesting Hotel

So many steps and so many different levels; almost like a maze. Great for those who travel lightly. The staff were awersome; they were very accommodating. The first room we got had no heat; its heater wasn't working, so we moved to another room that seemed to have been recently remodeled. The heater worked, but quit on us on our third night. Had to use a space heater instead. Televisions in the two rooms didn't work at all. No chair(s) in a somewhat small room (that has a double bed and a single bed). More surprising was the complimentary breakfast which wasn't stated in the description, and that was much appreciated. The hotel is within a walking distance to various restaurants, bus stops, and train station. All in all we enjoyed our experience at the hotel. The price was decent for a four-night stay.

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.

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.

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.

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.
