Reviews
Berry from Germany (7/10)
Everything was just perfect. The room was comfortable, clean and warm with all the necessary appliances. And even though it is located on a main road we didn’t mind it and enjoyed the view 😊 The staff was amazing and really helpful with everything. We were able to leave our luggage there for couple of hours after we checked out without any problem. Will give them 10/10 any time

1. Great location! Very close to the Tube (5 min walk) and to the bus station (right under the hotel). 2. The room was clean, The shower was new and the cleanest we have ever seen in a hotel. 3. There are supermarkets, cafes, and restaurants within walking distance from the hotel.
Mikaela from France (7/10)
It is in a nice location situated between the buzz in Earl’s Court and the calm in a residential area in Kensington. For a budget hotel in a nice area in London, you get what you pay for. Easy check-in as well.
Martin from Poland (8/10)
I was a little worried about cleanliness from other reviews I read but everything was fine. Location was very convenient. Close to overground and two tube lines. I would stay here again.
