The microwave could not be used because it was burnt soot black inside. I was unable to use the kitchenette. We had to resort to dining out for all our meals which added to our expenses.

Good room, ample size. Quite noisy though as hotel is positioned on a main road and the blinds are not black out blinds so woke very early. Bed was comfortable and the bathroom completely new. Would stay again.

Great location

Brilliant location only five mins from Earls Court Station and facilities were good too. Great communication in advance of arrival as no staff present. Only slight downside is that the road is incredibly busy even at night and so suffers a little with traffic noise.

This property is very close to public transport and shops. The rooms are small but well thought out. Reminded us of living on a boat or in a tiny house. Check-in is done over the phone which was new to us but went smoothly.
