If your idea of customer service is surly, arrogant, condescending and demeaning staff you will simply adore the Barkston Gardens Hotel. If not, i suggest you run the other way, fast! more

The hotel was under construction while we were there. It wasn't too disruptive, but it made walking down the hall unpleasant as they put in a new elevator. Our room was okay and very spacious, the beds soft and comfortable, but our bathroom was scary. I say scary because the shower sang, and the tiling was poor, with large gobs... more

I just returned from London where I stayed for the fourth time at Barkston Gardens. The hotel has a very good position along the Piccadilly Line, just a few minutes walk from Earl´s Court underground station. The rooms are good enough, not luxurious. The floor makes (terrible) noise and sometimes theres no hot water, but it does not bother me... more

Great location! I was surprised how close everything was to this hotel. The restaurants, drugstore, grocery store, and shopping was close by. The tube was literally a 5 minute walk. Great location overall. The hotel is an older building, but it does have big rooms and big bathrooms. They need to update the furnitures. The bed was uncomfortable! The hotel... more

We have just returned from London - our one week at the Barkston Hotel was quite nice. it is very functional, close to all travel, (subway and access to Brit Rail) ,shopping, bank, boots drug store, food, bakeries, etc. We found the hotel basic, & clean and met out needs. The buffet breakfast was well organized and exceeded our expectations.... more

Seriously: you may see the bad reviews and think, "They're just being prissy, but I'm a real traveler - I can handle a bit of old and in-need-of-renovation, I'm just going to be sleeping there." Do yourself a favour.

I recently travelled to London with my friend, and we had booked this hotel upon recommendation of her family. When we arrived, the staff were decent, and we were told our room was on the ground floor, which we were happy with. The room was at the end of a maze of corridors, and I was most definitely pleasantly surprised... more

Located two blocks from the Earl's Court tube station, the Barkston Gardens is a convenient place to stay for travelers in London. The hotel is clean and the staff at reception, especially Lorenza, is very helpful. The room itself is just basic lodging. There was a lot of closet space but few drawers for storage. The room was larger than... more

Hotel was in a great location because it was a block away from the underground/tube BUT I couldn't take the disgusting room. We both got violently ill (although this could have been from food as well). The room. I don't even know where to begin. Dirt/grime (not stains) on curtains, windows, floors, coffee pot, everywhere in bathroom, baseboards, etc. I... more
