Lovely staff, hotel could do with make over
Staff were really friendly and breakfast was fine.
Hotel very much in need of refurb, room was shabby, carpet threadbare in places, furniture had bits missing, base of bed in two pieces not joined together, toilet roll holder missing, air conditioning not working properly - it was advertised as an executive room - no way!
However, convenient for our trip

Whiffy.
Room had a strong odour, a bit like a wet dog. Cotton buds with earwax in the bathroom bin. Decor very dated and in need of sprucing up but the bed was comfortable.

After our previous trip where the elevator was not working, the manager remembered us and gave us a ground floor room. This was typical service from a well run and friendly establishment. We have stayed there 3 times and will again on our next trip to UK.

Wonderful location, close to a major tube station (Earl's Court). It was unfortunate that the hotel lift was broken during my entire stay.

This is a perfectly okay hotel for the price. Sure the room is tiny and the elevator never works but that is standard in London in this price range. The bathroom was clean, there was plenty of hot water for the shower and the continental breakfast was fine. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel seems well maintained overall. This is a basic budget hotel. If you come with realistic expectations you will be okay with it. If you want large rooms or luxury you will be unhappy.
