FANTASTIC Stay!

friendly staff good vibe comfortable bed tube station
The staff was AMAZING!!! They were very cute and helpful. The hotel was very clean. The aesthetic vibe was quite good. The bed was comfy and had a thick duvet. The location was near the Earls Court tube station.
The room did not have tea or coffee making facilities. This would have been a nice bonus.
