great selectiontaxi servicebad soundproofing
The breakfast service was fabulous! There was a great selection of foods available. I enjoyed that the hotel offered a taxi service to Kensington Palace. The ride only cost ten pounds.
I did not want to use it, so I used the stairs. My room was really tiny and I could hear a television from another room. The soundproofing must be bad.

great location and breakfast
tube stationcomfortable bedwhite sheetsair conditioning
the location was fantastic it was quiet but literally round the corner from earl's court tube station the bedroom was beautiful i had a fantastic night sleep in a very comfortable bed with crisp white sheets and lovely cool air conditioning which was much appreciated during this hot humid weather. ramiz iqbal stood out as really good service provider breakfast attendants were professional and friendly. the room had bathrobes and slippers which was extra comfortable and cosy i found that helpful. the sheets were silky and smooth.
i found that the room size was very small for a twin room there wasn't much storage space for two people i would say it is more of a single room the wardrobe section in the middle had splits and cracks throughout with the paintwork all chipped i didn't think it looked great.

small roomlimited channels
I booked a room, but it was quite small. There was not much storage for my belongings. I found only one mirror in the bathroom, and I missed having one in the main room. The TV had limited channels. It was not what I hoped for.
