A decent hotel in good location

Overall not a bad hotel in good location. Rooms are ok, small-ish but that’s a London standard in older hotels. Being summer months room had a fan and some cooling unit provided as I assumed air con wasn’t a luxury at this property. This made the room hot and stuffy during the night which contributed to disturbed sleep. Bed was rather small and uncomfortable to sleep but despite room facing the main road it was still quite inside. In the morning I’ve asked for additional key card as let the one given on arrival in the room but wasn’t given one as hotel was in the process of upgrading their key system and they haven’t had enough of room keys to give out (?!) so a staff member had to come up twice with me to let me into my room. To sum it up, not a bad hotel, good location and at decent price. Few annoying issues (like no extra key, no air con) but would come back maybe in winter months

The room looked NOTHING like any of the photos, it was very 90s. It smelled strongly of cigarettes, I don’t know if someone had been smoking or if the previous guest was smelly but it was unpleasant. The tv was the smallest tv I’ve seen in living memory.

The room was as described and as the pictures, so met our expectation. The layout and amenities in the room were spacious, but it could do with an iron for those traveling from further away. The duvet and pillows are down which though luxurious, is a problem for allergies and the staff and housekeeping changed them for us, which was very helpful, and great service.

We had booked two rooms on the 2nd floor. Nice big rooms. A little noisy, because of the traffic. The air con was on in the hall, cooling it down to a chilly temperature, while in the bathrooms in the room, the heating was on. Not very environmentally conscious.

I understand the eco part of not using AC but when you show that as an amenity for the room, it should be in the room with the ability to use. I also didn’t have cold water. They did say they fixed it, and it went from hot to hotter to almost burning my skin off. I stayed in the duplex, which is a lovely spot except they showed the bed on the lower level and it was on the top level. The staircase is incredibly narrow, and I almost fell a few times. Also, when I booked the room in February, they stated they had smart TV capability when I got there in May, apparently that was disabled in April without knowing. I appreciate that the hotel allows cancellations, but I wish as an international traveler that I would’ve been charged at the time I booked the room with the option to have it refund refunded by a certain date as opposed to being charged on the date it could be canceled. This caused my trip to go up about $100 due to financial fluctuations within the countries. Sadly, I cannot remember the one incredibly wonderful woman who is just lovely and accommodating, but I thank her so much for at least listening and attending to the needs that I had asked her about. It is a very walkable safe area very close to Earls Court station. The only other issue I had was one night I got back at about 11 PM and the door was locked. Myself and two other travelers were trying to get in and had to bang on the door for about five minutes.
