“From what I've gathered, this is a budget option in a prime London location, moments from Earl's Court station. Recent renovations appear to be improving the rooms, and you can't argue with rates that sometimes dip below £50. It seems a reasonable choice for travellers focused on seeing the city and saving money.”
