The room was cosy, clean. Yes small but it was fine. The lack of space to hang clothes was a pain but we lived out our suitcases. The staff were very nice, friendly and helpful. Looked after our luggage and didn’t over charge us as we had more than 3 "bags". They allowed us to hang around My only issue was breakfast. As we booked through hotel.com we needed to pay £13 each. So that was £26. It really isn’t worth it. Pastries, cereals, fruit, hot pastries (wasn't any left when we came in) teas, coffee ect. Overall would stay again just wouldn't pay for breakfast.

Stayed with my daughter for a couple of days trip to London. The hotel is a really good standard, new, clean and staff super friendly. The room was super clean and the bed was comfortable. I also found it to be relatively quite eventful though it's on the Cromwell road. Breakfast was continental only but that was okay. We would definitely stay again.

Incidentals that you get for free in normal hotels - like baggage storage, borrowing an umbrella and checking in when the room is ready - are charged at this hotel. I would rather pay a small amount more and get a hotel that offers essential services without surprise charges

Great staff. Great location. Friendly staff

Great rooms and service by the team. Staff are accommodating and friendly. Breakfast needs to be changed to something worth while eating. Nothing particularly continental about it. Also the breakfast area staff needs to be more (well i couldn’t find anyone. ) Room was great. Clean. Spacious and comfortable.

Perfect peaceful area to stay in away from too much tourism. Clean, comfortable, affordable, friendly staff. Loved the shower. My one bit to suggest is to add additional lamp to the rooms without a window. Even with all the provided lights on it was still a bit dark. Overall such a good place to stay and will stay at again. Thank you!

Great location. The rooms are uncomfortably small - micro small. Staff are generally quite uninterested and distant unfortunately. Breakfast was good value but over subscribed and crowded. Overall quality is good if you’re staying overnight and need a place to crash. But for longer stays the lack of space and zero in room facilities such as storage, clothes hanging, drawers, a fridge, kettle etc etc is both very inconvenient as well as surprising.

TINY, YET STYLISH ROOM

I needed to spend three nights in London before my flight and this hotel's proximity to Earls Court Station clinched the deal. Having to schlepp your bags up and down the front steps is a bit of a bummer but the inside more than makes up for this. The lobby is stylish and this continues into the rooms. This is one of the smallest rooms I’ve stayed in outside of the ferry I arrived on, but they tried their best to give bang for your buck. The bed is a good size and comfortable with bedside tables and a cabinet for your things. There’s a tiny fold-away desk/console, air-conditioning, TV, free WiFi, a divided bin for rubbish and recycling - which I personally saw all goes in the same bag - a hairdryer... and that’s it. There’s no kettle or tea & coffee, fridge or even a chair/stool to use the desk. Sadly, the only place to put your luggage is under the bed or on the floor under the console, which I chose, and I managed to avoid tripping over it during the night! The washroom was very nice with everything you need in a compact space. There was a nice, neighbourhood view out the window. Breakfast is available onsite, however, I chose to eat out. It was fine for a short stay, but I would choose a bigger room if possible next time.
