Overall nice room, though found a stray toe nail clipping in each of our adjoining rooms. Sink faucet had lime buildup/rust, and drain plug broken. Would be nice to have a box of tissues available in the room. Staff were great, though. And rooms were otherwise comfortable.

This is a lovely hotel, very convenient for West London. The decor is colourful and unconventional, and the rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It has the bonus of a small restaurant, garden and a bar. I would definitely stay here again (and have).

I really enjoyed the ambience of the hotel and my room. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had ample counter space. Everyone I encountered were extremely kind and took great care in what they were doing. For the room and the location, it was a great value. I wish I had tried the pizza. :(

Disliked: Cleanliness
We were unfortunately quite disappointed with our recent stay. We chose to upgrade our room and paid extra, so we were expecting a noticeably higher standard than what we experienced. Upon arrival, the room did not appear to have been cleaned thoroughly. The table clearly needed a proper wipe, and when we pulled the bed slightly away from the wall, we found a woman’s top behind it, which we left in the room. This raised concerns about the overall cleanliness and attention to detail. Additionally, one of the bedside lights was not working, and the headboard had visible marks on it. These issues made the room feel poorly maintained and not up to the standard we would expect — particularly given the additional amount we paid for the upgrade.

Liked: Amenities
This is my second time staying here, and to be honest, if it wasn’t for the location, I’m not sure that I would again. The staff are pleasant and I love the aesthetics, but it’s the little things that have all added up this trip. From a bit of black mould in the shower, chipped and peeling paint in the bathroom and how most of the cutlery in the suite were dirty/had yogurt/soap on them. I like all the perks that you get with their loyalty program (early check in/out) but again, I might look at what else is near the next time.

All the staff are friendly and helpful at this well-located hotel, near Earl’s Court. The decor has a style and originality, the room was clean, comfortable, and the whole place has a beautiful smell. I had a garden room, which is quiet, if a little dark. There is a cafe and restaurant serving a decent enough menu. I would definitely stay here again - highly recommended.
