Great location, excellent sized room, front desk staff were friendly and helpful.
This is a lovely hotel, very convenient for West London. The decor is colourful and unconventional, and the rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are very friendly and helpful. It has the bonus of a small restaurant, garden and a bar. I would definitely stay here again (and have).

The room was incredible and the staff were all amazing! We had a great experience staying here.
We stayed for one night and really enjoyed it. We loved how the room was decorated, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable day. In particular, we found the kitchenette to be well appointed. The location was very convenient, only a few minutes walk from Earl’s Court tube station, and despite the hotel being located on a busy road, it was very quiet in the room so we could sleep. The staff was very helpful and friendly.
The welcome staff was amazing and super accommodating! I loved the atmosphere and the location was top tier. If you’re looking for a safe, walkable and beautiful location this is the place for you! Thank you Ember Locke.
we love this hotel did two trips to London recently and stayed there both times. very friendly staff, rooms were spotlessly clean, wonderful shampoo, very warm and cozy in January, stunning decor, steps from earls court station, and great cafe and restaurant

The room was clean and the bathroom a good size. The kitvchenette allowed small meal to be prepared. The staff were very polite and helpful, with one of them going out of their way to make sure we got a dog bed.

Hotel was well situated with lots of restaurants and shopping nearby however room looked a bit dated and could have done with a deeper clean. The grout in the shower was stained, fabric on the furniture had stains and there was spilt coffee on the table when we checked in.
