Guest Reviews
- Arksey (9/5): Nuce Surprise - Location was nice and quiet. Staff were very friendly. Room was spotless. Nothing, perfect for what we required.
- Allan (8/5): Suited the purpose nicely - Central N/a
- alain (9/5): -
- Victoria (8/5): Very comfortable stay - Fabulous location, comfortable bed, nice shower, very clean
- Ros (9/5): Easy to find, comfortable and clean within easy reach of areas of London - Very clean and comfortable with easy reach to two stations. Only there for 1 night,couldnt find anything not to like
- Nils (7/5): - Room was clean and well sized for the price Location was a bit outside of anything
- Seb (5/5): WYSIWYG - Bed was comfortable Toilet broken, shower blocked, poor cleaning service, cleaning stuff left everywhere in the corridor.
- Melanie (8/5): Great location and comfortable room - Good location and clean
- Federico (9/5): - Posizione strategica, in una zona tranquillissima vicinissima a 2 fermate metro principali che ti consentono di andare in tutti i punti più importanti, stanza piccolina ma pulita e comoda, perfetta per un fine settimana Unica pecca le stanze non sono per niente insonorizzate, si sente qualsiasi cosa dei vicini di stanza
- Guest (8/5): All good! - Sijainti oli hyvä, huone viihtyisä Hissittömyys ja huone oli pieni vaikka kyllä viihtyisä
- Branca (8/5): -
- Lizz (7/5): Lovely location, lots of trees! - Very comfortable beds; slept very well. Great location; WiFi not very strong; staff friendly and helpful. First floor room, as no twin rooms on ground floor, (& no lift), stairs to the hotel from street level and the stairs inside were therefore difficult, as I have reduced mobility.
- Clare (8/5): Pleasant. - Friendly staff, quiet location, near to the tube.
- Michiel (6/5): Efficient, value for money. - Location, bathroom, breakfast was ok, value for money, what can you expect for £7.50. No lift and my room was 3 floors up. Unsuitable for older people. Room too hot and difficult to cool down, bed only had quilt, no sheet. Again issue with temperature
- leonardo (10/5): Foi excelente - Qualidade da cama e chuveiro No teve algo q eu não gostei
- Jakub (7/5): - Lokalita,obsluha ochotna Maly pokoj
- Ana (7/5): -
- Peter (7/5): Ideal location for where we went - Breakfast Room was very good The carpets have seen better days but were due to be renewed in the next day or so
- allan (8/5): Reasonably priced hotel in walking distance to the parks and museums of South Kensington - The hotel was very reasonably priced for central London and I had concerns after booking if it would be nice. I was in a single room which although small had all I needed for a three night stay. The continental breakfast was able to provide gluten free bread which along with Yoghurt and fruit was sufficient, there was of course the usual cheese and sliced salami etc.
Shower had good pressure and hot water. As a smaller hotel there was no bar etc although the reception did appear to serve alcohol I presume for consumption in the room.
- Judy (9/5): Old English Inn full of charm and character tastefully modernised - Loved the character and thatched roof charm of this old English pub. Beautifully decorated inside. Meals were great. Spacious room with everything you need. We needed to catch a taxi from the train station but for most travelling by car that won’t be an issue.
- Carl (10/5): -
- Helene (8/5): - Très correct pour Londres. Super situation géographique. Petit dejeuner 1 peu simple.
- Blythe (5/5): Great hotel, nightmare in booking and communications - Hotel was great with great location It was absolute nightmare to book! They kept declining ALL by cards. Even 30mins before my sons arrival they messaged me that the room will be cancelled after I had updated YET another card in the morning! Their comment was because the card was not in the guest's name they could not accept the payment!! NEVER heard of that one. So would not book that hotel again!
- nanna bruzen (7/5): - Nemt og tæt på metro Det var ret slidt hul i gulvtæppet og føntørrerne havde ledning ud af vægen rævene i vægen og tegnet med blyant over spejlet
- ornella (10/5): - Pulizia .
- Emilia (8/5): -
- Chaparro (7/5): - Location Very small room, no room to move around.
- Brian (1/5): Unsafe and unclean - Awful, dirty walls door carpet, unclean shower and they gave another guest our room key, found their luggage in our room, we want a refund Awful, dirty walls door carpet, unclean shower and they gave another guest our room key, found their luggage in our room, we want a refund
- Susan (8/5): - Excellent location Some TLC needed carpets in room very worn and bed bases seen better days
- qing (8/5): -
- Vanessa (3/5): le séjour à l'hôtel fut decevant - La situation de l'hôtel, à proximité du métro et l'amabilité du personnel. Notre chambre avec sa vue sur le local poubelle, sa proximité avec la porte de service du personnel, la saleté de cette dernière (toile d'araignée au plafond - tâche suspecte sur le couvre lit), l'odeur de moisi dans la chambre. Le fait que les équipements ne fonctionnaient pas (sèche cheveux - chauffage) et la nuisance sonore liée aux autres chambres.
- Aleksandra (10/5): Very nice -
- Sofija (6/5): -
- Karen (10/5): Excelente - Una buena ubicación muy cerca al metro y paradero de bus El desayuno estuvo bien pero podría ser mejor, te da lo básico como café, frutas, jamón. Pero quizá podrían agregar huevos.
- Miles (8/5): -
- CLAUDIA MARIA DE SOUSA (8/5): - A cama é muito confortável e o chuveiro também. O local é bem tranquilo e de fácil acesso ao metrô.
Se você irá passar o dia fora, super funciona o hotel para o descanso. Há também lugagge storage sem custo. O café da manhã é bem limitado, não há ovos e tudo parece comprado, ou seja, não há produção manual e fresca dos produtos.
- Rebecca (9/5): - Close to where we were going, clean and staff very friendly
- Samo1974 (10/5): Great - Great option for long or short London escapes. Definitely will be back!
- philippe (8/5): -
- Victoria (7/5): Convenient, clean and comfortable for a day out in London - The room was comfortable and clean with good links to travel options. I was able to get back to it easily and close by to tourist attractions. Check in was easy and staff were helpful. I would stay here again. My window backed onto a roof area and was a little hard to lock. The decor was fine but perhaps the carpet was a little tired and frayed in places. It was a clean and comfortable single room otherwise.
- Laura (9/5): Good location, good quality and good price - Great location for Olympia where I was working. Good price for London too! Rooms were good for the price and comfortable. The shower was excellent.
- Laura (8/5): The hotel serves its purpose, a place to sleep, clean and comfortable at an affordable price. - The employees were all very nice and helpful and the shower offers you a relaxing moment after a long day There’s not much to do around the hotel
- Gemma (8/5): - Our stay was perfectly adequate. The room was small but clean and had everything we needed.
The staff were friendly and helpful, we were allowed to keep our bags at the hotel on our check out day and return to collect them before our journey home. We could hear the family in a room next to ours with a young child and the noise from their TV.
- Sandra Maria (9/5): -
- Hugh (10/5): great room , perfect shower, well maintained, pleasant staff - finally a room in london that i could move around , a shower that i could actually get in to, very pleasant staff, this hotel is way better than many for which i have paid double
- Maria (9/5): Lovely, would stay again! - The location is great, the street, the closeness to the tube.
Very welcoming and nice staff very good energy.
The room is clean and modern. Bathroom is great good hot water and all. Genuinely no complains and would stay here again. Some advice would be to make the reception nicer and add lifts.
- Antonella (8/5): - Posizione, comodità, struttura elegante Stanza un po' fredda
- Chris (9/5): Highly recommend for a short stay. - Perfect location for our one night stay. Room small but fresh, bright, comfortable and had everything we needed.
Particular thanks to Archan on reception who looked after us extremely well. Nothing.
- Gillian (9/5): -
- Nicol (10/5): -
- Michelle (9/5): Good hotel especially for the location - Location was very good with two metro stops (different lines) just less than 10 minutes away. Breakfast was good and cheap as well The room was quite small, but it was fine since we only slept there since we did a lot of sight seeing.
- Gaspard (8/5): -
- Ngu (8/5): -
- Talar (10/5): -
- Paweł (9/5): Miejsce w pięknej lokalizacji - Lokalizacja i cisza oraz okolica Pokój wymaga odświeżenia
- Ziaul Karim (7/5): -
- Arabella (8/5): N/A - N/A N/A
- Zahira Liu (10/5): GENIAL - Super bien, personal super atento. Incidencias resueltas con creces. Nada, estaba todo genial
- gaelle (8/5): Quartier agréable , accueil de qualité. - Gentillesse des réceptionnistes , qui n'étaient pas avares d'explications lorsqu'on demandait des détails pour se rendre à différents endroits .
Calme des lieux , que ce soit en interne ou en externe ; soirées et nuits calmes très appréciables après de grosses journées de découvertes à pied!! Pas de double vitrage, de fait, facilement réveillés le matin, heureusement par le chants des oiseaux....mais très matinaux les oiseaux, du coup les boules quiès furent très utiles.
- Ana Maria (10/5): Perfect place for your stay in London - Location and personnel
- Matteo (8/5): - Stanza accogliente, vicino alla metro. Bagno pulito e doccia spaziosa La struttura non ha ascensore
- Michele (9/5): Ottimo - Doccia moderna e pulita, letto comodo. posizione tranquilla Arredo potrebbe essere migliorato un pochino. moquette un pò rovinata
- teomandi (9/5): Totally recommend - The personel was kind helpful and responsive.
The location was great close to transportation, supermarket and bakeries in a safe area to walk around late hours.
The room was luxary We stayed 3 grown men into application 3 bed room thus it felt a little small to move around

- ALESSIA (7/5): -
- Beverley (9/5): Perfect for 1 night - Clean comfortable safe and welcoming It as a bit of a journey to get there
- Bernadette (10/5): Perfect place for Chat Noir experience as walking distance . Great price point for London - So easy to walk to from tube
Quiet area
Very clean and all you needed in the room
Good strong shower
Very comfortable bed We should have requested a lower floor
Luckily we didn’t have much luggage
- Stéphane (9/5): -
- Michela (8/5): - Posizione, vicinanza ai mezzi Stanza molto piccola
- LU15M4R1 (9/5): -
- pierre-louis (4/5): Hôtel convenable - Les lits Trop chère / petit déjeuner servis pas assez tard
- Kristina (7/5): -
- Djanie (8/5): -
- Ummahan (8/5): Bonne emplacement proche du métro, personnel accueillant, chambre froide. - Très bon emplacement, proche de quelques commerces et du métro. La chambre petite pour 1lit une personne et 1lit 2 personnes, chambre froide, la wifi ne fonctionne pas bien,
- ARSHAD (7/5): -
- Olivia (8/5): - It was affordable and in a great spot. Dark and somewhat creepy atmosphere, but still perfectly safe.
- Sarah (8/5): - Quick check in, simple single room, no complaints
- Emmely (8/5): -
- Maximino (5/5): -
- Paul (8/5): - Great quiet location. Only 5 min walk from tube station. Lovely shower, good aircon and comfortable bed. Stairway to rooms were a little tired. Probably due a freshen up with a lick of paint.
- Sanfilippo (8/5): Ottimo rapporto qualità/prezzo per visitare Londra - Vicinissimo alla fermata West kensington (linea verde) e earls court (gialla) e ben servito da autobus a circa 400mt.
Comodo hotel in zona residenziale. Personale gentile e pronto a risolvere qualche piccolo inconveniente. Colazione discreta. Conviene specificare nelle note se preferite stanze nei piani alti, comunque senza ascensore, piuttosto che nel seminterrato. Pochi negozi nelle vicinanze. La struttura meriterebbe una manutenzione maggiore (cassaforte non funzionante e moquette pulita ma vecchia)
- batbold (10/5): -
- Olivia (7/5): Great location overall - Handy location, staff lovely and helpful Tiny tiny room - I've stayed here before in the same room type and it was as expected but this one was hot and dingy.
- Rosamund (3/5): I can’t recommend it - this is a hotel which really needs to improve on many levels - We had a triple room which was convenient Everything else.
The extractor fan didn’t work in the bathroom and it smelt of mould
The sink and shower water took ages to drain away
We wanted to wash clothes but apparently the washer dryer machine had broken earlier in week.
Uncomfortable pillows
Hangars for clothes are attached to the rail and awkward to put clothes on.
Lack of hanging space for towels
Distance from bus stop is 10 minutes walk which is uncomfortable at night as the roads are very quiet and dimly lit.
- Ewa (10/5): Le séjour au top! - Le calme et l’emplacement! Il y a pas eu de bémols, tout s’est très bien passé.
- Stephanie (8/5): Perfect place to stay for overnight for our purpose. Clean, comfortable and convenient. - Very convenient location, easy check in and out, no fuss.
- Jillian (9/5): Comfortable and easy to reach anywhere in Central London - Location was close to an underground station, the price was reasonable, the breakfast was solid for the price, the bed was comfortable No elevator -- I didn't mind it but some others might
- Zhan (4/5): - Location is good, but there is no tower in the room. When I checked in, reception gave me an underground-floor room but gave another customer a upper floor room who came after me. I don't know why but I believe there are more room available, which made me very unhappy.
- Patricia (10/5): Lovely stay good location near station - Clean and rooms spacious for two adults. Staff friendly and welcoming. Area quiet. Bins Lorry’s woke us up early on the Monday morning
- loscuro (10/5): Base perfetta per Londra: tutto funziona, tutto vicino - Struttura accogliente e ben organizzata, si vede che è nuova e curata. Gli ambienti sono puliti e il personale è davvero disponibile, senza risultare invadente. Posizione molto comoda: a pochi passi dalla fermata della metro sulla Piccadilly Line, quindi perfetta per muoversi in città senza impazzire. Nulla tutto perfetto, veramente perfetto!
