Pros:

Location

Cons:

Note that the hotel is just above the pub, you need to go through the entire restaurant to check in, which feels very strange.
Some rooms are not directly accessible through the elevator, you have to climb stairs.
Room isolation very bad, i could hear noise from above and neighboring rooms.

Great Stay in London Central
Pros:

Blackbird was a great way to start our vacation! The breakfast was wonderful, the room was comfortable and beautiful. This was a great location close to the Underground Earl's Court station - making it easy to arrive from Heathrow Airport. We would stay here again!

Cons:

Not a negative necessarily, but more of a heads up: the lift is extremely slow. The room we stayed was at the very top which meant we walked up 3+ flights of stairs to come and go.

Ehdottomassa hyvä valinta. Tosin hieman kallis (niin kuin Lontoo ylipäätään).
Pros:

Oikein hyvä ja pieni hotelli - vain yhdeksän huonetta. Sijainti mainio Earls Courtin metroaseman vieressä. Linja-autopysäkki hotellin edessä. Kun ollaan paikallisen asutuksen keskellä niin pääsee lähellemmäksi paikallisten arkea. Pubi oli mainio paikka ja tunnelma hyvä mutta rauhallinen. Avulias, mukava ja asiakkaansa huomioiva henkilökunta.

Mooi en comfortabel verblijf met een lekker ontbijt, maar overschaduwd door lawaai en brandalarm!
Pros:

De kamer was mooi en voorzien van alle nodige faciliteiten. Het bed was comfortabel en zorgde voor een goede nachtrust. De badkamer was knus en verzorgd. Het ontbijt was lekker en goed gepresenteerd, met keuze uit verschillende formules, wat het geheel aangenaam en gevarieerd maakte.

Cons:

Er was geen signaal op de televisie, wat toch een gemis was. Daarnaast was er vrij veel lawaai vanuit de omgeving, wat storend kon zijn. Ook ging het brandalarm twee keer af, waarvan één keer ’s nachts. In zo’n geval had een vorm van compensatie op zijn plaats geweest.
Hoewel we uiteindelijk geen meerprijs moesten betalen voor de cappuccino’s bij het ontbijt, hadden we dat eerlijk gezegd ook niet verwacht gezien de prijs van het verblijf — al blijft Londen natuurlijk een dure stad.

Pros:

Right opposite underground, very friendly and helpful staff, pub and rooms were very nice and clean. Breakfast was very good. Evening meal was average. Chips were cold and rather mean on chicken portion.

Bed was very hard and seemed small for a double
