“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.”

Functional Stay Near Transportation

useful locationpublic transportationthorough processconsistent courtesy
The location proved useful due to its proximity to public transportation (especially the Earl's Court station). I found the check-in process thorough and appreciated the feeling of security it provided. The staff demonstrated consistent courtesy during my time there. The 24-hour reception was helpful for late arrivals and early departures.
I found the bathroom rather compact, made moving around a bit challenging.

The Single Room contained adequate plugs and USB slots for charging devices, a welcome feature when traveling. The bathroom was super clean, and the shower worked well, offering good water pressure. The room also looked recently renovated, giving a fresh feel.

While I did not have many meals at the hotel, there were various restaurants within walking distance. There was also a small Tesco nearby for quick grocery needs (very useful for getting snacks). The breakfast was great (especially the pancakes!).

modern bedroomextra facilitiestube station
The room was a nice little space. I found many shops and food places were near. The tube station was a five minute walk. The hotel had been renovated and they are still doing bits of it. It is close to Earls court Station. There is no lift so you should bare this in mind as there are 3 floors.
The windows didn't open properly all the way. I could not turn the aircon on at all.
