This is my second time staying here, and to be honest, if it wasn’t for the location, I’m not sure that I would again. The staff are pleasant and I love the aesthetics, but it’s the little things that have all added up this trip. From a bit of black mould in the shower, chipped and peeling paint in the bathroom and how most of the cutlery in the suite were dirty/had yogurt/soap on them. I like all the perks that you get with their loyalty program (early check in/out) but again, I might look at what else is near the next time.

The room was clean and the bathroom a good size. The kitvchenette allowed small meal to be prepared. The staff were very polite and helpful, with one of them going out of their way to make sure we got a dog bed.

All the staff are friendly and helpful at this well-located hotel, near Earl’s Court. The decor has a style and originality, the room was clean, comfortable, and the whole place has a beautiful smell. I had a garden room, which is quiet, if a little dark. There is a cafe and restaurant serving a decent enough menu. I would definitely stay here again - highly recommended.

Staff were great. However, our room smelt like it had been smoked in. Air conditioning was stuck on heat so had to sleep with the window open by busy high street.

This was such a fun stay! From the airport, we took the train to the hotel's station, which ended up being a central hub for other transfers. Getting around London was very easy because of this, and rarely did we have to transfer trains as we travelled. The train station was less than a 10 minute walk away from the hotel, and our walk to and from was surrounded by convenient food options, grocery stores, and souvenir shops. Upon our early arrival, the staff safely held our luggage so that we could begin exploring. Our room was equipped with a small stovetop, kettle, and microwave. The hotel was quiet. USB-C ports were available in the outlets, which saved us from purchasing an adapter. We opted to upgrade our stay to include breakfast, which was healthy and delicious, in the hotel's restaurant, Eve. There were two breakfast courses, and the main entree was one of eight cooked to order dishes. For dinners, we stopped by Eve for two specials- their BOGO drinks happy hour and their weekday special, $20 for a sourdough pizza, a basket of parmesan fries, and two wines to share, though other dinner options were also available. A staffed cafe/coffee bar was located on the opposite end of the lobby, for those who may need to complete work. The atmosphere was most unique to us. The restaurant, Eve, was housed within a greenhouse, as pictured, and filled with plants and books to skim through, including London travel books which helped us decide what to do on our trip. Highly satisfied!

The location is excellent and the room is very quiet (we stayed at the courtyard side). The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. The great thing was also a laundry machine in the room! The colors of the room are not our favorites, and the rug and the lampshade are not our style but okay. Overall, a good place and the pizza place is good downstairs.

The public spaces of the hotel are beautiful. The exterior is poorly illuminated at night making it hard to find when arriving late, and not feeling particularly safe when dark. The location is convenient near Earl’s Court station, which runs directly to LHR. It would be helpful if it was more prominently stated, or mentioned at check in, that there is no service in the rooms (sheets, towels, etc.). I see it is there if you click through the amenities, but more prominently placed would be helpful. I would not have booked this hotel if I knew that.
