Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a convenient location, just across the road from Earl's Court Underground station, making it easy to access the shops and the tube. While the rooms lacked a dryer or heater, they were well-kept with regular housekeeping. The service, although somewhat unprofessional, provided assistance with housekeeping and tours. The dining experience, including the barbecue, was included at very low prices. The facilities overall were satisfactory with affordable dining options.
The hotel is super convenient, being very close to Earl's Court tube and next to the train station. The rooms are kept tidy, but lacked a dryer or heater. The service was a bit unprofessional at times, indicating the staff may need improvement. Dining was served at low prices, but the options were limited with only oatmeal. On the bright side, the location is fantastic for accessibility. Despite some flaws, the value for money is fair.
I could just kept the curtains closed, no dryer or heater, but the rooms were kept clean by regular housekeeping. The service, unfortunately, felt unprofessional, indicating the lack of professional staff. On the bright side, the hotel is located very close to Earl's Court tube station, making it convenient for transportation. The dining experience served home-made organic products, which was a nice touch.
