This hotel is great! i had a fantastic experience, especially with the 24-hour security. It gave me real peace of mind. the location is super convenient. It is close to transportation and shops! my room even had a true closet and a table and chairs, so useful.

the staff didn't seem very friendly when i arrived. some questions were answered in a curt manner , and they didn't have much local knowledge. i asked for a shower cap , but they didn't have one.

hit or miss

low water pressure thin walls

the shower situation wasn't ideal. water pressure was practically nonexistent, and the temperature swung between freezing and scalding. the bathroom itself felt cramped, like they designed it for someone half my size. also, the walls was thin, so every noise from the hallway reminded me of it was happening right next to my head.

Convenient Stay Near Earls Court

triple room garden view comfy bed friendly staff

I was upgraded to a triple room, a lovely surprise. The extra space was very welcome. The room faced the garden, I saw people picnicking there. The bed was comfy. The staff are friendly.

The shower pressure was somewhat weak.

Although I only utilized the grab and go breakfast due to time constraints, I found it convenient. A local Costa offered an alternative, should I have desired it. The grab and go option was basic.
