Lokalizacja oraz bardzo miła i profesjonalna obsluga recepcji

− Bardzo mały pokój oraz lazienko. Dla dwóch osób dorosłych bylo mało wygodnie

Beata · PL · 2026-10-23

Excellent emplacement , hôtel confortable et agréable.

9.0

Un hôtel qui a été entièrement rénové et qui est très bien entretenu. Une excellente surprise à Londres! Petit déjeuner satisfaisant. 2 minutes à pied de la station de métro Earl's court (Picadilly line et district line)

− L'alarme incendie à 3h du matin mais ce n'était pas la faute de personnel manifestement!

Béatrice · FR · 2026-10-23

Super clean and modern

8.0

Great location near pubs Boots and M&S food store plus tube bus and taxis. Had mini fridge AC and roomy shower with great water pressure; USB outlets and reading lights near bed

− Quite a few steep steps at entry! Extremely low seating in lobby and room:, very tight sink and toilet space; very tiny table and extremely limited closet and storage space

Nila · US · 2026-10-22

Not worth the money

2.0

Good location. Comfortable beds

− Hotel had funny smell upon walking in. Staff miserable and rude. Requested twin and acknowledged however made as double and said it would take over an hour to sort so provided another duvet. Not worth the money paid.
