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

The check-in staff were incredibly welcoming. Room was clean, the shower and bed were amazing. Just smaller than a train overnight room, no kettle for tea, no fridge, single pane windows, so…loud
