This is a lovely hotel, very convenient for West London. The decor is colourful and unconventional, and the rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It has the bonus of a small restaurant, garden and a bar. I would definitely stay here again (and have).

We stayed for one night and really enjoyed it. We loved how the room was decorated, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable day. In particular, we found the kitchenette to be well appointed. The location was very convenient, only a few minutes walk from Earl’s Court tube station, and despite the hotel being located on a busy road, it was very quiet in the room so we could sleep. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
