Clean updated rooms. Fabulous bed and hot shower. Staff very attentive. Elizabeth in particular. Location super cute. Tucked away but within 10 minute walk of locals. Woke to birds chirping and singing in courtyard. Live like a local. Local grocery 3 min walk. Starbucks just as close. Even a Burger King. Can walk to Bond street in under an hour. Fabulous. Can’t beat the price for what you get.

The staff was the highlight of the stay. Very personable and hospitable. The first day of my stay there was no hot water due to a fire alarm being tripped the day before. I appreciated the quick response and explanation. It was out of their hands. Room was very clean. Definitely snug as I booked one of the smallest rooms but it was just me so it worked fine.

We throughly enjoyed our stay. Evidently the hotel is New New, everything is perfect. Even the carpets smelt New. We stayed in a 6 berth, 2 double bunks and a single set of bunk beds, which for 5 of us was perfect. The room itself was large with plenty of space. The accessible shower/WC provided plenty of space. I would urge the management to keep a close eye on the fixtures of the metal bed frames, with frequent use these will become loose and the bed frames will squeak!! The provision of USB both A and C by the side of every bed is a cracking idea. The shelf with the coffee machine could be a little larger, as the machine has to sit sideways! The free water cartons and coffee facilities were a nice touch. My wife made use of the provided hair dryer. Perfectly located near to Earls Court tube station. Some other hotel chains could learn a thing or two regarding the bunk beds for larger family groups without the need to purchase 2 rooms with an adjoining door. We would definitely consider staying again when the time comes.

Can’t speak highly enough about The Drey! The staff were so kind and welcoming and I was even able to check in a couple hours early. As a solo woman travelling I felt very safe with the online key card and overall vibe of the hotel. The room was clean and perfect for one person (I booked the Snug room). Location is fantastic, just a stones throw from Earl’s Court Station. There’s also plenty of coffee shops and food shops around to grab anything you need. Very pleased with my stay and made my first trip to London in over a decade a very happy one ◡̈ thank you so much to everyone at The Drey.

The hotel and room were exceptionally clean and beautifully decorated. The room smelled fresh and was spotless. Access to the hotel and room were keyless which is very convenient. The staff were super friendly and professional. The hotel is very close to the metro and is within walkable distance to popular attractions such as Kyoto garden, V&A the Museum and the National History museum.

I even didn’t stay an hour in the hotel. Workmen were everywhere and the TV in my room had only the worst programs you can dream off. None of the TV aps worked which I was told was the supplier’s fault but he has been informed and this would be sorted as and when possible and, apparently, all the bedrooms (I am talking about the ones ready for customers) were affected. But, as the manager pointed out, this hotel company is not for people who want to enjoy a night in but who want to enjoy discovering London … Unfortunately for me, and customer who have a small child, I am only staying one night for business tomorrow, I am tired and doesn’t fancy discovering London but chill out after travelling all day to come here!! The room would have been OK without this problem, as for customer service … I can understand now why there is the option of paying £5.90 or so for a refund which I applied for at first but then cancelled it as I thought I won’t need it, well, how wrong can you be?
