A Budget Hotel Stay - user review
A friend and I got a great deal on an early January 2002 four night stay at the Barkston Gardens. The lobby was quite nice, all marble, tall ceilings with a cozy bar to one side and a very neat, clean dining room on the o...

Disappointing - user review
I booked a double room. On arrival I was upgraded to a family room. This had 2 of the smallest double beds I have ever seen. Also the room was dirty with a bad view. The staff maintained the beds were standard double beds, but I insisted on a change. This new room had a double bed of reasonable size...

A fair hotel - user review
We booked this hotel through Expedia and they had our reservation when we showed up (Usually a good sign with prepaid hotels in Europe).We ended up in a very small room with a view of the back alley. Not too pleasant. However, the room was very clean (and the staff kept it clean throughout the week)...

What a dump - user review
What a dump! I was booked there for four days at the end of Oct, 2006 through British Air. the rooms were reeking of mold and had rotten spots in the floor. The whole bathroom and especially the shower was mold infested. The desk people were surly and made no effort to at least get the bathroom clea...

Decent place at a decent price. - user review
As the other reviews mentioned, the hotel is a little worn down but fairly well kept. The location is fabulous it's a block or so from a tube stop, near a grocery store and several pubs and restaurants. Don't expect the kind of room you'd find at the big deluxe American chains. If you're like us, th...

small room, decent location - user review
At first, we were shocked to see the size of our room (almost as big as the bathroom we got); however, after looking at other rooms, we started to convince ourselves that it is a standard size room, at least in this particular hotel. It is the only complaint we have regarding the hotel. Otherwise, s...

Unacceptable - user review
During my second night, around midnight when I was asleep, there was noise at my door. Somebody was trying to enter the room. Since the secondary bolt lock was not functioning, they were able to enter the room! Somehow the hotel had rented out my room, and the 2 people entered it when I was in my un...

OK for a night or two - user review
I knew the rooms were small, but didn't think my room would be that small. I had very small walkway in my room and not much room to put my stuff or my luggage. A very tiny closet, which pretty much got out of commission because I had to put my suitcase in front of it. I could hear the footsteps of a...

Over rated - user review
I read other reviews for this hotel and was enthusiastic about staying there. Very close to the Earl's Court tube stop, but this place had no charm, which is generally the case of most hotels around Earl's Court. The price might be compelling, but if you like to go out at night, the Earl's Court are...

Pretty standard for London rooms - user review
If you go to London and want a decently priced room, this is about all you can expect. The room and bed were pretty big for a London single, but neither was particularly comfortable. The door didn't close properly and had to be slammed shut, and the deadbolt didn't work. Also, every time the person ...

Would stay here again - user review
Is an older property,but the convenience of the tube station, local shops and general area was great!If they would just update the rooms a little and put in small refrigerator and a microwave, that would be a bonus. Am planning to come back next year,as it was a good value for the money!Esp.if you a...

Feels like a hostel - user review
London is expensive, and I thought what I paid for this would have been a decent compromise between a nice hotel and a hostel. I suppose that is what it is. Positives: Easy to get there from Heathrow, good sized rooms, good sized closet and bathroom. Cons: Not very clean, furniture is not very good....

Less comfortable than I’d hoped - user review
Room was extremely small not a problem, since I didn't plan to be there much but bed was lumpy and pillows were flat and lumpier. Room was fairly clean but very noisy and hot. The price was all right (everything expensive in London) but here's another chance to learn that you get what you pay for. L...

Nothing exciting, but perfectly decent - user review
The hotel had plenty of things to recommend it, convenient to the metro, computer in the lobby with free internet access for guests, spacious rooms, acceptable bathroom facilities. It's not air conditioned, and can get pretty sweltering. Some of the rooms seem to have fans, but ours did not. The nei...

Unimpressed - user review
The hotel staff was very cold towards Americans. They were polite but not much more. The rooms smelled like cigarettes and due to their lack of policy, folks smoke where ever they please. It is a very uncomfortable atmosphere for a non smoker. The room was exceedingly small and security was question...

broken toilet seat - user review
The hotel was fine but nothing special. The location was convenient to the tube and the room was reasonably clean, spacious, and overall adequate. Housekeeping/maintenance was not the greatest our toilet seat broke after day 1 and even though it was obviously broken (ie: on the floor), it was simply...

Reasonal value - user review
The location of the hotel is good as it is very near the Earl's Court metro stop. The room and bath were larger than I expected. The room was clean and the staff was helpful. The only problem was that the mattress needed to be replaced as it was lumpy. Otherwise...

Location Great Condition of room average - user review
This hotel is an older hotel and is worn. However, the location can't be beat. It is right by the Earl's Court tube station and has many great restaurants nearby. ZiZi's was wonderful but pricey. Nando's was average. The room to us wasn't too small as it was about as big as our bedroom at home. The ...

Get your money’s worth and is an excellent location! - user review
This hotel was very inexpensive and still a nice hotel. The rooms are fairly big and the bathrooms are huge! There was no A/C, but there is a fan and London doesn't get too hot anyway. My only complaint was that the wake up calls weren't always timely, so bring an alarm clock! Oh and internet is fre...

Great hotel for the price - user review
We enjoyed our stay here. The room was comfortable, though a little too warm. It was cleaned daily and the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was not worth the price, but the close proximity of Marks and Spencer Food Store with its delicious pre packed meals made the hotel breakfas...

Covered in Flea Bites - user review
We had a horrible experience at this hotel. The room was extremely dated, hot (and when we opened the window, we got smoked out since we were directly above the bar), dirty (someone had left their wad of gum on the windowsill and it stayed for the three days we were there.) We had to share a double ...

Great Location - user review
We stayed here twice and will stay here when we visit London again. Our rooms were spacious by European standards and was comfortable. The hotel is old, but clean with recent renovations. The only downside of our summer visit was that it didn't have air conditioning so we sweltered. Traveler's tip o...
