convenient location warm welcome platinum recognition
i stayed in a convenient location. it was very close to the Earls Court tube station. The staff, particularly Mako, welcomed me warmly and detailed the amenities. i also received IHG platinum recognition and drinks vouchers upon arrival at reception.
there was slight wear and tear on the room furnishings, like minor scuffs, yet it did not affect my overall comfort.

Convenient Stay Near Earl's Court
short walk friendly staff
The hotel is just a short walk to Earl's Court station so transportation was easy. I stayed in a Premium Queen Room and I found it well-equipped. The staff are friendly. Richard, who managed the breakfast service, ensured every guest was well-cared for each morning. The food was cooked to order and tasted delicious.
The basement room I stayed in had some flood damage, which affected the overall experience.

great location tube station breakfast options friendly staff
i found the location really good. the hotel sits conveniently close to the tube station. a busker playing disney tunes outside was a good surprise. the breakfast service each morning included delicious options, especially with richard and roger.
i was initially allocated a room only accessible by a steep, narrow staircase. the pillows provided were rather flimsy. it was a bit inconvenient.

the breakfast had many fresh and delicious options. staff members such as anjali and shanel provided friendly, attentive service. the breakfast until 11:00 is convenient for late risers, i noticed.
