This was a really good place to stay. Not far at all from Earls court tube stop which is handy if coming from Heathrow as the stop is on the Picadilly line. The room was small but perfect really for me as it had a double bed and ensuite. The staff were great also. It is in a very good location too.

For 55 pounds per night in a 2-star hotel, we thought we'd have a regular-sized room, instead of one which could have been likened to a cell, it was so tiny.

The hotel was very helpful in accommodating us - giving us a discounted rate for one night once they'd realized what happened to us. Since ours was a 2 night stay, they kept us well informed of their availability (since they, and all other nearby hotels, were fully booked). The staff were delightfully courteous and thoroughly helpful.close

The hotel is very good and flexible with its rooms( i wanted an ensuite at the last moment and they gave the same without any complaints). The staff are very good and helpful. on the whole the hotel is an excelent offering at its price and the location is the best part of the hotel.

I have successfully booked rooms through hostelworld at least 6 times before, and this is the first major letdown. My booking numbers are 2672-8712326,-8712299 and -8712280, and they clearly state the fact Private Bathroom (mailed to me on 14th December) in the room details section, because they were the kind of rooms we always book when we go to London. In the hotel we were forced to pay £40 more in order to get private bathrooms! I expect this matter to be solved at once. I've been very pleased with Hostelworld till this booking, but I'm being totally honest with you, that if this matter remains unsolved, I will not be in any contact with hostelworld any more. By the way, there were a mouse (!) in one of the rooms, on two different days. Sincerely Yours, Juha Murtolahti mailto:juha.murtolahti@autobest.ficlose

The location is convenient and breakfast is good. The only downside of the hotel was the cleanliness. Some things would be simple to fix (wipe the shelf in the closet and the walls near the sink, for example), but I suspect there is a problem with bugs. I had to be moved from my first room as my pillow had about 20 tiny bugs crawling on it when I went to get into bed. The staff was great about immediately moving me to another room, but I came away from there with several nasty bites that I got while sleeping.close

Room was like a time warp into the late 70's and I don't mean in a "wow they've made it look like the 70's in here" kind of way. MUCH better value staying in a private room in a hostel closer to the city.close

We had a private bath which was very clean with a huge bathtub which was nice for relaxing after a long day of sightseeing. The tube station is very close by and it's on a great line that can get you anywhere you want to go. On the other end of the street, there are many places to eat/drink...all within a short walk. The staff is very friendly and were more than happy to help us out with our inquiries!! We would definitely stay here again.close

Small rooms, and even smaller bathrooms (single private with onsuite). Staff are fun and friendly. Good free breakfasts in the morning but they only go until 9:00 a.m. so you have to get up early. Very close to the metro and only three stops from Victoria station. Nice area.

The room was small, but that's no problem, because it is in accordance with de price you pay. This hotel offers true value for money in Londen. Very nice people (especially the receptionists "honey" and "anthony"). I hope to come here back sometime.

Got a double bed room with ensuite bathroom (tub, shower, toilet). Very convenient to the tube and easy to get to from Gatwick on the train. Front desk was very friendly and 24 hour reception was helpful. Breakfast was minimal but sufficient. I noticed some reviews mentioned the tube station being noisy but we didnt hear a peep. We were in a room on the street side, though, so it may be noisier in the back. All in all, would recommend it.close
