What can I say about my room other than SMALL. I am tall but that should explain why without moving my feet I can touch the wall near my bed and the other side of the room. The bed was a single in length but was conveniently thin on width. The show was so small I had to do something... More

10 GBP have been taken by the hotel and we have never been refunded, even after emails and two long phonecalls explaining the situation. This is besides the 20 GBP reservation insurance. I booked a deluxe double room but it was very small. Very noisy due to railway. Poor quality staff. Very slow internet connection. I can say it was... More

Obviously a hotel that has seen better days. Staff were really poor, not engaging and fairly rude at times. Felt you were imposing when you asked them something. Room had tiny window overlooking a dirty wall. Tv not working with channels limited to only a few. Toilet was tiny and used towels just hung up instead of replaced. Shower was... More

The hotel has obviously its potential there, but the proximity to the rail tracks makes it much less attractive that it could have been. Nevertheless it is indeed very close to the Earls Court exhibition centre which is great. Staff finds it easy to deal with complaints...by simply finding excuses. A lot of work is needed to make the hotel... More

When we(me and my girlfriend) arrived, luckily the room was ready, it was about 13h. I only requested that our room could be located on the side of the street where it is quiet since Hogarth rd is not that busy. On the other side is a rail road (district line). Reception staff was very friendly, particularly the hotel manager... More
