Guests frequently highlight friendly front-desk staff, though responsiveness and professionalism vary. Breakfast is widely described as very basic, with a cramped room and instant coffee. Expect a budget stay in a handy location, but quality and cleanliness are inconsistent.

We were allocated in a room next to a room being refurbished and lots of banging & hammering, of course we were not able to rest & sleep properly during the day. The carpets on the stairs are very old & stained. No lift. The restaurant where breakfast is served is very small, no ventilation & smelling damp. When we checked out, nobody in the reception to handle the room key, no bell or whatsoever to call anyone but I have to shout in the reception to get their attention.

You get what you pay for! The property needs updating, needs more bedclothes, both of us were cold. The plug got jammed in the sink which made teeth cleaning a bit tricky. Overall it was just about ok for a cheap overnight in London with very few expectations.

Arrived at around 7pm. Couldn't get in as the door required a key. After a few minutes ringing and calling another guest left and we went in. Another 5 minutes later the receptionist walked around the corner carrying air freshener and bleach - As it turned out he had come directly from what was to be our room after using the toilet... After shrugging it off, we were there just for a few hours after all, we left to go to our gig. Arriving back at 11:30 we immediately discovered an enormous bed bug on the towel. Couldn't stay there, so at midnight we left for another hotel. They did refund immediately to be fair. In summary a very disappointing experience in a run down, dirty hotel. It is however cheap and in a decent location

Location is excellent it’s just 2 minutes walk to the underground station, lots of shops around the hotel as well, but I have to say I was staying in top floor and there is no lift, I would give 5.5 out of 10

Location is the only positive , only there 1 night to watch Chelsea be very disappointed if I was staying longer. Don’t want to be rude needs a bit of love and attention as not a good advertisement for London and tourism. Breakfast was chaotic in such a small room with many guests descending and no where to sit. We felt rushed so had minimal breakfast and left , staff were attentive and replenished well. I would not usually comment but it was still £100 a night (which you could say we are staying in London!). Hopefully take this review as constructive and decorate and remove mould from bathroom.

A great location, but let down by scruffy rooms and dirty communal areas. Needs new carpet, a lick of paint, and a damn good clean. The bed in our room had a knackered mattress that boinged when you moved due to the springs being shot. A shame, as the staff were generally friendly and helpful.

Tiny rooms. I found a staple sticking up out of our mattress near my head which isn’t great. We asked for a smoke free room but it still stunk like smoke. No mattresses protector or sheets that go all the way around the mattress so that seemed a bit dirty. Maybe a 1 star hotel, but still pricy for what it is.

I really don’t like giving negative reviews but this place was not clean. The carpets were so dirty. The beds and pillows were so uncomfortable. The sheets were clean but you could see dark spots underneath and when I looked (thank goodness) it was just pilling but the mattresses and bed decor were dirty and stained. The people were nice enough though. We came down for breakfast at 7 (it doesn’t start until 8 which is late for breakfast) but the lady came and let us know it was ready early. Wasn’t much to it though, and only instant coffee:(

Easy to get to from the tube station. Staff was welcoming. However i had a twin room, 1 hand towel, half a roll of toilet roll, 3 pillows between 2 beds, no tea, no coffee, my son had a double room he had 3 towels, 3 pillows and his tea/coffee. Couldn't put the fridge on due to the constant rattling and the fan above the bed made noises so couldn't keep that on either. Breakfast was very basic.

The beds get 10 out 10 but it goes down hill from there. The room was a reasonable size but was very hot, the wall fan was noisy and not very effective . The showeroom was good size but shaving light did not work and the shower was quite weak, the shower gel sachets were difficult to open. The breakfast was a joke, nothing continental about it, warm orange juice, nasty white bread to toast, instant coffee, boil your own kettle, and the breakfast room was so small there is a limit of 15 minutes to try and get and eat breakfast, not good at all.

One of the best decision I have made for this first trip to London is to book St Marks Hotel despite some negative reviews given. I think those reviews were before the hotel was renovated. Beautiful room with wonderful stuff at the reception. They accommodated to my request for a room with windows and good luggage space so am really appreciative. Location is excellent, not too near to the busy be noisy main road but very walkable to Earls Court station which is a station which has a few lines to bring you to many parts of London. Will definite stay here again when visiting London in future and will recommend to others too.

We felt rushed so had minimal breakfast and left , staff were attentive and replenished well. I would not usually comment but it was still £100 a night (which you could say we are staying in London!). Hopefully take this review as constructive and decorate and remove mould from bathroom.

One of the best decision I have made for this first trip to London is to book St Marks Hotel despite some negative reviews given. I think those reviews were before the hotel was renovated. Beautiful room with wonderful stuff at the reception. They accommodated to my request for a room with windows and good luggage space so am really appreciative. Location is excellent, not too near to the busy be noisy main road but very walkable to Earls Court station which is a station which has a few lines to bring you to many parts of London. Will definite stay here again when visiting London in future and will recommend to others too.

A great location, but let down by scruffy rooms and dirty communal areas. Needs new carpet, a lick of paint, and a damn good clean. The bed in our room had a knackered mattress that boinged when you moved due to the springs being shot. A shame, as the staff were generally friendly and helpful.

Easy to get to from the tube station. Staff was welcoming. However i had a twin room, 1 hand towel, half a roll of toilet roll, 3 pillows between 2 beds, no tea, no coffee, my son had a double room he had 3 towels, 3 pillows and his tea/coffee. Couldn't put the fridge on due to the constant rattling and the fan above the bed made noises so couldn't keep that on either. Breakfast was very basic.

A quiet relaxing hotel. The room was basic but clean. Very close to plenty of dining options. A twenty minute walk from the Museums in South Kensington.

The hotel is completely renovated and only 5 minutes walk from Earl's court metro and bus station. There are a lot of dining options around it. Ibram at reception was very kind and helpful. Downside: Rooms are on the smaller side.

Arrived at around 7pm. Couldn't get in as the door required a key. After a few minutes ringing and calling another guest left and we went in. Another 5 minutes later the receptionist walked around the corner carrying air freshener and bleach - As it turned out he had come directly from what was to be our room after using the toilet... After shrugging it off, we were there just for a few hours after all, we left to go to our gig. Arriving back at 11:30 we immediately discovered an enormous bed bug on the towel. Couldn't stay there, so at midnight we left for another hotel. They did refund immediately to be fair. In summary a very disappointing experience in a run down, dirty hotel. It is however cheap and in a decent location

Location is excellent it’s just 2 minutes walk to the underground station, lots of shops around the hotel as well, but I have to say I was staying in top floor and there is no lift, I would give 5.5 out of 10

The beds get 10 out 10 but it goes down hill from there. The room was a reasonable size but was very hot, the wall fan was noisy and not very effective . The showeroom was good size but shaving light did not work and the shower was quite weak, the shower gel sachets were difficult to open. The breakfast was a joke, nothing continental about it, warm orange juice, nasty white bread to toast, instant coffee, boil your own kettle, and the breakfast room was so small there is a limit of 15 minutes to try and get and eat breakfast, not good at all.

We were allocated in a room next to a room being refurbished and lots of banging & hammering, of course we were not able to rest & sleep properly during the day. The carpets on the stairs are very old & stained. No lift. The restaurant where breakfast is served is very small, no ventilation & smelling damp. When we checked out, nobody in the reception to handle the room key, no bell or whatsoever to call anyone but I have to shout in the reception to get their attention.

I really don’t like giving negative reviews but this place was not clean. The carpets were so dirty. The beds and pillows were so uncomfortable. The sheets were clean but you could see dark spots underneath and when I looked (thank goodness) it was just pilling but the mattresses and bed decor were dirty and stained. The people were nice enough though. We came down for breakfast at 7 (it doesn’t start until 8 which is late for breakfast) but the lady came and let us know it was ready early. Wasn’t much to it though, and only instant coffee:(

The Earls Court Station was a 5min walk away, there you could use the picadilly and circle line to reach almost everywhere in London. There were also multiple bus stations. Near the station were pubs and cafes (local aswell as Starbucks etc). A ~10min walk away was a large supermarket. I had a singles room and it was super clean and the design was very nice. Tv, big bed aswell as a safe and small refrigerator.Thrre was a Tea Station with 3differnt teas and also instant coffee and hot chocolate. The bathroom was on the smaller side.
