FABULOUS stay NEAR Earl's Court!

great locationfriendly staffstained carpet
The location is GREAT near the underground station. Staff members were friendly and helpful . I had a king double room that had enough space and the neighborhood WAS peaceful. It was a QUICK commute to many attractions.
The carpet in the room looked stained, that was the only negative. Skirting boards also needed some attention. This impacted the overall aesthetic. The bathroom appliances had limescale. Cleaning could improve the look.
