My boyfriend booked a delux double for a romantic night in London. He was lead to believe that it had been refurbished and paid £120 for the room, we were really disappointed with the room which was tiny and claustrophobic the room literally was a 'bed' room.I called reception to check it was really was a delux and they advised...

Old screw holes in the walls of the room, a bathroom door that didn't even come close to fitting in the frame, a TV with the worst picture quality I have seen ever in a hotel at least since the advent of digital TV (I suspect not the actual TV set's fault as it was a reputable brand and modern)....

Arrived at the hotel on the 23rd of April only to be told due to 'unscheduled maintenance' some rooms were not available and I would have to be moved.

10 GBP have been taken by the hotel and we have never been refunded, even after emails and two long phonecalls explaining the situation. This is besides the 20 GBP reservation insurance. I booked a deluxe double room but it was very small. Very noisy due to railway. Poor quality staff. Very slow internet connection. I can say it was... More

Obviously a hotel that has seen better days. Staff were really poor, not engaging and fairly rude at times. Felt you were imposing when you asked them something. Room had tiny window overlooking a dirty wall. Tv not working with channels limited to only a few. Toilet was tiny and used towels just hung up instead of replaced. Shower was... More

The hotel has obviously its potential there, but the proximity to the rail tracks makes it much less attractive that it could have been. Nevertheless it is indeed very close to the Earls Court exhibition centre which is great. Staff finds it easy to deal with complaints...by simply finding excuses. A lot of work is needed to make the hotel... More

When we(me and my girlfriend) arrived, luckily the room was ready, it was about 13h. I only requested that our room could be located on the side of the street where it is quiet since Hogarth rd is not that busy. On the other side is a rail road (district line).
