The hotel is conveniently located just a 2-minute walk from Earl's Court station, with tidy and clean but very small rooms. The complimentary tea and coffee were a nice touch. The service is exceptional, with friendly and helpful staff who swiftly addressed our room change request. The dining options, while not bad, could be more varied for breakfast. The hotel's location close to late-closing shops and eateries is excellent for exploring London, although some areas nearby seemed neglected. Overall, it offers good value for those visiting the city.

The hotel is conveniently located near Earl's Court tube station with plenty of dining options nearby. The rooms are a bit small but come with breakfast. The service was delayed in responding to room issues and demanded an unexpected credit card pre-authorization. The dining experience was adequate, although the breakfast choices were limited. The location is convenient for exploring the city and accessing public transportation.

The hotel's location is exceptional, close to the city center with convenient access to all amenities just steps away. The rooms, though on the smaller side, provided basic amenities like coffee, tea, and orange juice, but felt quite claustrophobic. The service was a mixed bag, with some helpful staff but lacking friendliness overall. The dining experience was subpar, offering a limited breakfast selection and requiring guests to clear their own tables. Overall, the hotel offers great value for money due to its proximity to the underground station, albeit with some shortcomings in room size and service.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, near a convenient underground station and within easy walking distance of museums and dining options. However, the rooms were small and uncomfortable, with twin beds despite requesting a double. The dining experience left much to be desired with subpar breakfast options, but the service was welcoming and helpful overall.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient, with easy access to the metro station, bars, and restaurants. However, the service fell short as incorrect information was provided, and the staff's attitude was borderline unfriendly. The dining options were basic with limited choices, and the breakfast experience was awkward. On a positive note, the room was sufficient for a short stay and the hotel was close to small convenience supermarkets and food outlets.

Despite some room issues like being in a cave-like space with a broken fridge and unexpected visitors, the hotel's service was generally pleasant. The location, close to Earl's Court station, was convenient for short stays. The dining options, while not varied, were sufficient considering the cozy breakfast room size.

The hotel's location is perfect, right next to Earl's Court tube station with excellent access to main London lines. The rooms were modern and clean, though the blankets were not up to standard. The service was acceptable, with a bit of a hiccup at check-in. The dining area was chaotic, but toasting sandwiches was a better option. The convenience of the location overshadowed some service issues.

The hotel is in a prime location, very central and near a train station and bus station, making it convenient to connect with major points of interest in London. The service was exceptional with pleasant and attentive staff. The dining experience was basic but sufficient, offering a typical English breakfast. However, the rooms were cramped with limited space and the breakfast room objected to taking items to the room.

The hotel's location is spot on, near great access to London's main lines and surrounded by shops and restaurants. The rooms were far too small and cold, making it difficult to rest properly. Despite friendly service, the cramped room size was disappointing. The breakfast buffet was filling but challenging due to the room layout.
