Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Location and having a clean room was fine. The issue with this stay, the rooms are very small even for two people. No air conditioning. Water pressure was very weak, so taking a shower took longer than usual. The shower itself was small, smaller than what you experience on a cruise ship cabin. It was not a comfortable stay for us. I would say, for one night stay it would be fine. But longer I think you will drive yourself crazy.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Staff was nice; they let us check in really early after a very long travel day and we will forever appreciate that! The room was a bit bare. Three comfortable beds and a TV. But the bathroom was super tiny, the shower doors didn’t close all the way so water leaked out every time we showered. The drain doesn’t drain well so showers had to be cut off after ten minutes or the basin would overflow. Plenty of soaps and shampoos and even some tea for the morning. But no shelves or places to set our luggage or even our toiletries. Things had to be stored under beds and our toiletries packed away and unpacked each time we wanted to use them. It was a nice location in a nice area. The WiFi was pretty slow. There were enough things we liked to overshadow the things that were lacking.

Got to the hotel to be told we were not booked in and it was because link with OYO had been terminated Receptionist was blunt and rude and delay in having to ring up to find out what was going on with a relocation caused a very stressful rush to a show booked for the evening So disappointing

Rip off! Kept us awake all night! Toilet blocked!

Arrived early and left our luggage- charged £5/suitcase! Fair enough, it’s business. But the storage room is not even a proper storage room, you’d be lucky to squeeze yourself in between a massive post and the wall with your luggage! There were 6 of us in a room. There was barely any space to move. On our first night, the outdoor shisha bar located in the garden of the premises, played loud music from 7pm til about 3/4am. Not one staff did anything about it, husband had to speak to the shisha bar staff and nothing happened. On the second night, toilet got blocked. It was not the first time it has happened accdg to the staff so they decided to transfer us to 3 double rooms, no big room was available. Rooms were a bit better but our room was still overlooking their shisha bar so it was the same problem, lost sleep again! Prior to being moved, we requested for a late check out 1pm and the receptionist said yes and they won't charge us at all. Here comes check out day, husband and I were outside fully confident that our check out has been extended. Apparently they’ll charge us £10/hour/room! We were mortified and we complained. Manager eventually said they won't charge us extra for late check out. No apologies for trying to rip us off. No apologies that we’re in 3 rooms instead of one because of a blocked toilet. No apologies that most of us did not get decent sleep for 2 nights! Just disgusting. That’s just no way to treat customers!

Stay away from this place if you’re looking for rest - it is situated right next to a very loud hookah lounge. People were shouting at each other and carrying on with very loud music all evening until 5am right below our very thin and large windows. We arrived late looking to get some rest - it was incredibly frustrating - did not sleep all night. Also the shower did not drain - gross. Desk staff barely acknowledged us and were checked out. A very bad experience.

I booked at this property at very short notice at a high demand time of year - was impressed that all administration was taken care of, check in was very quick and simple. Hotel is in good location, staff friendly. However, the room I stayed in - can only comment on that - really needs some work doing on it. Windows wouldn't close properly (not great in December), heating didn't work well, carpet quite scruffy etc. Bed and bedding were perfectly fine, very comfortable in fact, but having breeze coming through room wasn't great. The window issue was for both the bedroom and bathroom, with blinds not working properly on window in bedroom either.

l'hotel si trova in una posizione ottima centrale (a pochi metri dalla stazione metro di Earl's Court). Le stanze sono sufficientemente pulite, i servizi però sono eccessivamente "stretti" . Il personale invece carino e disponibile. Credevo (ma forse ho sbagliato a "confermare" io) fosse inclusa la prima colazione... ma così non è stato. pazienza. Lo consiglio a chi non ha eccessive pretese ma vuole trovarsi in una zona centrale della città.

The shower wasteful.

The room itself was okay to stay, but the shower was awful. I don’t know whether it works well in another rooms or not, but mine was too low water pressure, and I couldn’t adjust water temperature. I had to take a shower either really hot water or cold water...

Avoid. Next 2 Shisha bar nightclub with loud noise

Avoid. It's next to Shisha bar night club with extremely loud music all night long. So if you are looking for good night sleep. Look good another place. Person on reception with poor attitude and only one line he knows. I can do nothing about it. Came with family but sleep less night for everyone due to loud music noise. Rooms could do with some work and paint job.
