Highly recommended- easy to get to museums, Knightsbridge, High St Kensington, parks etc as well as having the tube and Waitrose moments away. Friendly helpful staff and miles better than a hotel when you have small kids. We'll be coming back.

Well appointed apartment, beautifully clean and women on reception were lovely. The property is in a nice location. Our apartment looked out at the railway and the noise was a bit of a distraction. I suggest triple glazing and thicker curtains.
While the women on reception were lovely there was a man on one evening when I came down to collect some printing (about.10.30pm during a weeknight). He came out from the area at the back after I called out four times and stared at me. He did not speak,...

Fahad and the team were exceptional. Very proactive customer service and always helpful and accommodating. The rooms were clean and bright and full of amenities. Well stocked too. Internet fast. Facilities were good. Only complaints to balance the review: elevator is super slow and the gym is very limited. Nitpicking here on 2 minor things when compared to the location, cleanliness and dedication of the hotel staff.

So close to Earls Court tube station and walking distance to museums. Great location. Glad we were at the back of the building though as it would be noisy if on the front. Definitely stay here again.
