Had an amazing stay at this wonderful hotel. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful and professional. Loved the decor throughout and everything was spotlessly clean. The air conditioning was a welcome addition too in the fabulous weather we’ve been having. Breakfast was delicious and there was plenty to choose from. Will definitely stay again.

Everything was great, we had a garden view room which was just lovely and we had a very comfortable stay. Breakfast was just right and convenient. We had a small problem with the sink in our room when we checked in and the front desk staff came straight away to look at it for us. The location is great, on a nice street super close to Earl's Court underground and with plenty of amenities nearby too.
