Rooms are small but we didn’t spend much time there so not an issue. Amenities were good; oven, fridge etc. Was clean enough but felt like it could do with a bit of a makeover to spruce the place up a bit. Check in was fine and comms were all very good. "

Brit Hotels Earls Court

10/10 Excellent
"This is really a fabulous hotel. Spotlessly clean, staff all very friendly and helpful. It is in a lovely location, only a short walk to Earls Court station and to The High Street where there are loads of shops, restaurants and pubs. We had a twin room, lovely modern shower room and all very clean. Safe and small fridge in room. There is no breakfast but there is a toaster and a microwave which can be used by visitors. There is fresh water on tap, still and sparkling and a bottle which you can fill for your room. There is also a machine providing coffee and hot chocolate for the use of visitors, and it is lovely. You can have as much as you like and there is no charge for any of it. There is also a lovely garden with seating which you can make use of. Overall we were very impressed with everything and it was a very reasonable price."
