Great stay, great location
Our overall stay was great. Location (1 minute walk from Earle’s court station) was perfect for what we wanted. The Garden view room we had was lovely and quiet, didn’t hear the trains at all. We didn’t think much about the breakfast though. There was a great variety of food but if it’s the full English you would go for, then it’s not for you. Everything was a little dry/cold. Lots of cafes and bars locally would probably do better and be much cheaper too.

Garden room: not great for winter!
The main hotel seemed fine, it’s a collection of townhouses not a single building, but well organised. However I was put in a ‘garden room’ - literally a room built into the bottom of a garden. Maybe it’s nice in summer but it was poorly insulated so quite cold in March, and noisy due to huge AC units outside the door, rain on the flat roof, and school playground next door. Also the bed was really really hard!

Remarkably quiet residential street despite tube and shops being so close. Very pleasant helpful staff and very very clean. Loved that windows would open! There was occasionally smell of sewage in room which was not pleasant.

Room was freshly remodeled. Room and passage ways were very clean. Area was quiet, but plenty of pubs and restaurants within a block of the hotel. Easy access to the Underground at Earl's Court.
