Perfect budget hotel
Pros:

breakfast was simple but filling. the room is very clean and well managed although the aesthetic is not as modern. The location is also quite good as your just within the town and can catch trains to anywhere.

Cons:

the tv is so tiny and did not work

Pros:

Очень тихий и спокойный район, рядом хороший продуктовый магазин, в отеле была возможность использовать кухню, можно было использовать микроволновку, чайник, посуду. Хороший английский завтрак, на завтрак также были фрукты. Чистые комнаты и дружелюбный персонал, недалеко станция метро. Идеально подходит для семей с детьми.

A repetir
Pros:

Pequeno almoço variado e algumas confeções feitas na hora. O quarto era tal como anunciado e sempre limpo e arrumado. O atendimento muito caloroso.

Cons:

Ficar no r/c junto à estrada faz algum ruido quando as pessoas param a conversar junto às janelas, mas nem isso nos demoveu

Sympatyczny hotelik w dobrej lokalizacji. Skromny, ale miłą atmosferą.
Pros:

Przede wszystkim życzliwa obsługa, i atmosfera oraz dostępność kuchni całą dobę. Śniadanie standardowe angielskie oraz dużo słodczy i trochę owoców, ale brak produktów mlecznych czy warzyw.

Cons:

Bardzo mały pokój i ogólny standard budynku dość niski, choć hotel nie tani, ale to typowe dla Londynu.

Ideal location for Earls court and 'the' museums. great all round hotel
Pros:

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful—nothing was too much trouble for them. Breakfast, which was included, was excellent, with good-quality products and plenty of choice. My 8-year-old especially loved it—full English followed by pastries and doughnuts… what’s not to like!
