Easy to check-in since you just got an information of which room you were staying in and the code to get inn. The room was good for one person, but was too tight for two people and two big suitcases. The room was not that clean when we came, so we informed of places that needed cleaning. The cleaners came, but the things we informed was dirty, was still not cleaned (for example under the bed still had dust bunnies).
The shower was also too small. With an overhead shower it was not much space and the shower curtain was only making more water everywhere in the bathroom.
The elevator was also a bit scary to take since it was going so slow and took forever to open.

I had some issues that needed fixing and within minutes of messaging the owners they'd responded and fixed the problems! I was very impressed, the location is brilliant and the apartment is well appointed and I'd be delighted to stay there again.

Great location, surrounded by good local restaurants and very close to the earls court tube. Room was tidy, comfortable and the kitchen was very handy. Our only critique was the noise, you can hear your neighbour quite clearly through the walls so our sleep was interrupted a few times but other than that small issue we highly recommend this location for a stay in London.

Loved the high ceilings and doors onto the balcony, created a lovely feel in the property. The heated bathroom floors meant any spills from the shower dried really quickly and it was beautifully furnished. The host company was extremely responsive when we had concerns and very helpful with local recommendations. Very safe area and walkable to either local transport or the main high streets. Would definitely come again.

Had a great stay here and look forward to coming back. Upon arrival the Wi-Fi was a little weak so within minutes they installed a repeater and it was great after that. Wonderful service. Instant replies when communicating. Couple minutes to Earl’s Court station, a few more to Gloucester Road station. Great restaurants and access to amazing sites nearby. Highly recommended!

Overall, we had a great stay at this property. The location was excellent and communication from the operators was very good. Overall cleanliness and condition was adequate. The apartment was a little bit tight, but that is to be expected in London. More hooks, racks, etc would help. Also, we really appreciated free access to laundry (with pods) but the dryer took a very long time to dry a load, just be aware of this. If you are looking for a safe and quiet "home base" while exploring London, this is a great option. Earls Court Station was just a short walk away.

This hotel is well-equipped, and the interior decor is quite nice. Personally, I appreciate the self-check-in method, which is convenient and efficient. Overall, there are no major issues, but the one thing I don't particularly like is the design where the shower drain is in the middle of the bathroom floor. Personally, I'm not a fan of this design.
