Lovely, clean, and modern in Earl's Court

We had a wonderful stay. The hotel is very clean and modern on a charming street right near the Earl's Court tube stop. The staff was very helpful and welcoming. Overall, I would highly recommend this location. [Just a note though that this hotel is NOT wheelchair accessible as there are stairs that are unavoidable.]

The bed mattress needed to be replaced as the springs stuck into my back. Also they confiscated our clothes line for washing sock and underwear. Apparently it breached some silly law they have.
