Despite being under renovation we were very satisfied. Reception staff were excellent and went out of their way to please. Very handy for Earls. Court tube station. Would stay there again

This hotel is awful. It's old and decrepit and hallways smell some unidentifiable smell. What's worse is the customer service is rude, abrupt, impatient, slow. The first time I called because the TV wouldn't turn on. Front desk said they would come up in 5 minutes to help - she didn't show up until 40+ minutes later, long after I... More

Overall, I was satisfied with my stay in this hotel, although there were a few things I was unhappy about. We were unaware that we'd be staying in the basement, and although there was a window our view was a ladder and scaffolding and a grey wall with no natural light - although we arrived at 3pm it felt like...

I was booked into here as I got bumped out of another place around the corner. First impressions are that its tired, and then it got worse... Stairs to the rooms at the back (the 220's) were poorly maintained and there are NO signs ! Room was a triple room, and took me back to the days of youth hostels... More

I've stayed here a number of times, usually for a single night but most recently for 4 nights. Location is great, a couple of minutes from Earls Court tube. Rooms are a bit tired but adequate for a single night. The main reason to stay here is the price - I've stayed in single rooms for 40GBP/night. If the price... More

My husband treated me to an overnight stay in the city continental hotel as part of my 1 year wedding anniversary present. This was brought in combination with a theatre package, and was definately not cheap. I was a little concerned at the reviews I had read on trip advisor, but remained optomistic. On arrival at the hotel, the staff... More

We stayed for two nights in this hotel. The rooms are small but very comfortable, spotlessly clean. The hotel seemed to have been newly refurbished when we stayed so everything was brand new and well finished. Very well situated just minutes walk from earls court tube. Would stay again.

The location is great, close to Earls Court tube station. Room was very small. Price seemed high. Breakfast was minimal.
