The location is very strategic, within short walking distance to Earls Court underground station and surrounded by Londeners flats. There were also plenty of halal eateries at the area, hence not much of a problem for Muslim travellers. The only downside of it was the unavailability of warm/cold water.

Toilet was kept clean, showers were a bit grim & the water was luke warm (the only fault I found). The building is massive & seems to be undergoing renovation work. Breakfast is... More
