    Stayed 3 nights in February 2026

    “Recommended for solo travel”

    I requested a clean room, and unlike the reviews on Google about hygiene issues, it was really clean. The bed was spacious, and although it was high like in the reviews, I didn't have any difficulty. The room faced the train station, so there was some noise, but it wasn't enough to cause major inconvenience (it was on the second floor). It was convenient to leave my luggage, and everything, including the bathroom and bed, was clean, so I would like to use it again next time. It's close to Earls Court Station, making it easy to access the city center, and I felt it was in a safe area. I highly recommend it as a Korean!

    “The location and the staff's friendliness were great.”

    The location of the accommodation was convenient for access to major facilities and tourist attractions in London, and it was very close to the tube, making it easy to get around. There were convenience stores and supermarkets near the accommodation, as well as a coin laundry. Breakfast can be had at the underground restaurant of the accommodation, which is good for a simple meal. In particular, a staff member named *** provided very attentive service to the guests. The lift is somewhat small and slow, and there is some noise between the floors with the upper rooms, but it is a satisfactory accommodation for the price.

    “Good location”

    I stayed for 3 nights and 4 days with a friend. We were shown to a basement room, which wasn’t spacious but was sufficient for the two of us to sleep in. It was nice that they changed the bed sheets and towels every day, but at night, the noise from the trains and the neighboring rooms was a bit noticeable. It was close to the Natural History Museum, and the subway station was near as well, making access to the British Museum and other tourist attractions convenient. The staff was friendly and left a very good impression. I think it would be a good option to consider if you have a limited budget.

    “Very good”

    Pros, Location excellent, bed super comfy, shower great water pressure, Clean room. Cons, extremely small room, if you are a big sized person you won’t fit in the shower, one light didn’t work, air con dripped water all over the electric sockets and we informed the staff but nothing was done. If you don’t mind a very small room and allowing for the mentioned faults it’s still a value for money option, slept great even tho we were in the basement and the trains rumble by every 15 seconds. If you want a place with a great location and a comfy bed and a clean room and don’t expect to spend too much time in the room then I would highly recommend. this hotel, it served a purpose for us and I would stay again for the very cheap price offered.

    “I would recommend it to other tourists.”

    The location is excellent, just a 5-minute walk from Earl's Court, and it feels very safe. Despite being small, it has everything you need, and living here is very convenient. The bed may be small, but it's very comfortable to sleep on. The room is cleaned every day, and I booked one that includes breakfast. Every day at 8 o'clock, although it's just a simple self-service spread, it saves quite a bit of money.
