My boyfriend and I stayed overnight on the 8th of April. Hotel is in great location near Earl’s Court station. Reception staff were friendly. Room came with tea, coffee, biscuits. Room was clean on arrival. Great water pressure from shower - complimentary shampoo, shower gel etc. We paid £65 for the night, an incredibly reasonable price for London! Why bother with the Hilton if you just want somewhere clean and comfortable to rest your head? Very happy.

We loved everything about this hotel! Location is excellent, situated just a few meters from the Piccadilly Line which is THE perfect line for all the London landmarks. Room was cosy and comfortable and absolutely spotless. Excellent and quality breakfast with fresh fruit, bacon, sausages etc.. The building is very pretty, outside and inside decor is very sleek and modern. Bedding is very comfortable, easy to use air-con, underfloor heating in the bathroom, and of course the kids adored the tv in the bathroom😁. Everything you need on the doorstep. We will definitely come back to this hotel next time we come to London!

The bathroom had an unpleasant smell even though it appeared clean. I was also unable to control the air conditioning from my room, which made the stay less comfortable. However, the staff were very helpful and supportive throughout my stay.
