mixed Feelings About My Stay

bad smell substandard cleanliness
The location was acceptable. It was near the underground station.
The room smelled bad. I think old doors need a deep cleaning. the overall cleanliness was substandard, and it bothered me a lot.

Convenient Stay Near Earl's Court

short walk tea coffee making facilities helpful staff
The location is a short walk to Earl's Court Station. This made getting around the city easy. My room had tea and coffee making facilities. I found that quite useful. The staff were helpful during check-in.
The pillows were a little soft for my liking.

The hotel sits on a quiet street, a very short walk from the main road. Many restaurants and shops are in the area. The subway station is close by.
