ibis London Earls Court

ibis London Earls Court Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to ibis London Earls Court on Lillie Road, you’ll notice it’s one of those solid, no-nonsense hotels that doesn’t try to be something it’s not. The three-star property sits comfortably in a residential street, and honestly, that’s part of its charm — you’re staying somewhere that feels like actual London rather than tourist central. The lobby is clean and modern with that signature ibis aesthetic, and the staff actually seem to know what they’re doing, which isn’t always a given in this price range.

Location That Actually Works

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re in Earls Court, which means you’ve got the Underground literally around the corner, but you’re not dealing with the chaos of somewhere like King’s Cross. The Piccadilly line gets you to Heathrow in about 45 minutes, and you can reach central London in roughly 20 minutes. What’s brilliant is that couples seem to get this location (they rate it 8.7), probably because there are decent pubs and restaurants within walking distance, plus you can actually have a conversation on the street without shouting over tour groups.

The Room Experience

The room I stayed in was exactly what you’d expect from ibis — compact but cleverly designed, with everything you actually need and nothing you don’t. The bed was surprisingly comfortable, and I mean that as someone who’s pretty picky about mattresses. The bathroom is small but functional, with a proper shower that has decent water pressure. You know what impressed me? The soundproofing is actually quite good, considering you’re on a busy road — I barely heard the traffic once I closed the windows.

Breakfast Worth Getting Up For

The breakfast setup here is honestly better than it has any right to be for a mid-range hotel. They’ve got the full spread — continental options, proper full English, and they actually cater to different dietary needs with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free choices. There’s even an Asian section, which caught me off guard in a good way. The buffet runs smoothly, and if you’re rushing to catch a flight, they do breakfast to go, which saved me one morning when I was running late to Heathrow.

Why Guests Love It

Recent guests have been rating this place 8.6 for location, and after staying here, I get it. It’s that sweet spot where you feel connected to London without being overwhelmed by it. The parking situation is sorted if you’re driving (though honestly, why would you in London?), and the whole operation just runs smoothly. The restaurant area doubles as a social space in the evenings, and I actually enjoyed sitting there with a drink, watching the mix of business travelers and tourists figure out their London plans. For the price point, you’re getting reliability and a genuinely useful location — sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
