The staff is very courteous. The issues we experienced were related to the room size, the need to request house keeping, the sinks that don’t line up properly underneath the faucet, and the hit or miss internet. The staff did their very best but the hotel has only been in operation for 3 weeks and there are many kinks to work through unfortunately.

Shiny new hotel but not enough thought has been put into the rooms. Not enough plugs around the room and no mirror / plug to use to dry my hair. No kettle in the room - only a coffee maker. Large unused space in the room which could have been used for a table and chair. The extraction fan in the bathroom didn’t switch off at all and sounded like a jet engine if you left bathroom door open. Also the whole “no key” check in didn’t work with the QR Code that i was given so it needed intervention from the staff to get you into their WiFi! Plus point was an exceptionally comfortable bed

The hotel is very well located and 4 minutes walk from Earls Ct tube station. The staff were very courteous. Exceptionally clean rooms. Would have given them 5 stars but for the issues below.... 1. There needs to be foldable luggage stands in the rooms 2. How water doesn't work properly. Woke up at 6 am for the airport and there was no hot water. Otherwise a lovely hotel
