Garden View Hotel

“Overnight stay”

This hotel exceeded our expectations. We booked this hotel because we want to take our 2 sons 11 and 8, the the Natural History museum and science museum.

This hotel exceeded our expectations. We booked this hotel because we want to take our 2 sons 11 and 8, the the Natural History museum and science museum. It was a great location for this, 5 minute walk to Earls Court tube station and then not far. We also walked to Earls Court high street for breakfast and then got the bus, both were easy. The family room was a decent size with 1 double and 2 single beds. The only issue was the heat in the room, the radiator was so hot we had difficulty sleeping, we couldn't open the window much as one of the single beds was against the window wall, if my son had sat up and leant against what he thought was the wall he may have fallen out. It was frustrating about the heat because the beds was one of the comfiest hotel beds I can remember. I don't know why the radiators can not be turned down, there are many reviews complaining about the heat. Bit, overall a pleasant suprise at the standard of the hotel due to it being budget.

Didn't see this coming, but I'm going to give these people a decent review. Booking a cheap hotel in central London, your expectations are going to be fairly low. Admittedly there's a touch of the Chinese takeaway about the external signage, but on the other hand it's in a very quiet, understated location in a neat London garden square. Internally the rooms are as compact as you'd expect - well-endowed types might struggle in the comically-small bathroom, and whoever painted the woodwork and grouted the tiles is learning on the job. But at the same time the place is tidy, clean and well-cared for, and the decor and overall vibe is classy and dignified if a bit dated. The only real gripe was the fierce heating in the room, dealt with by the simple expedient of turning the radiator off and opening the french doors on the balcony - it was minus 5 in London last night, but i slept soundly. Would recommend; will come here again when I'm next in London.

My friend and I stayed at this hotel for 4 nights during our Christmas Holidays from college in January. We spent a lot of time looking for affordable hotels and came across this one. This hotel is great value, however we were able to hear people in the room beside us, which one of the reviews did mention already. The location is excellent and very accessible, there is an underground station 4-6 minutes walk from the hotel and it is a very nice area. There is also a bus stop near the hotel. It is in earl's court, and there are shops and fast food restaurants a short walking distance from the hotel. There is also a Tesco quite nearby. The room was clean when we came in first, there were fresh towels, toilet rolls and shower gel in the toilet as well. When we went out for the day and came back, there were fresh towels in the bathroom and everything was clean. The service at the front desk, was a little slow when we first arrived, but i think it was because the receptionist was on her lunch break. It was a nice atmosphere in the hotel, it felt welcoming. I would suggest using the lift as the stairs are quite steep, my friend and i were staying on the third floor, so we made use of the lift available. The free WiFi was very good to use and it was also very fast. In our room, we had a coffee machine and hairdryer to make use of as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel as it is in a great location, it is clean and very affordable.

“Nice”

It's not the greatest hotel out there, but it is pretty nice. The location is nice: it is a quiet street, near Kensington Gardens and Earl's Court Station.

It's not the greatest hotel out there, but it is pretty nice. The location is nice: it is a quiet street, near Kensington Gardens and Earl's Court Station. The room we booked was a bit small, but it was great for the price we paid. The bed was quite comfortable. Overall, the room was clean, although there were some stains in the curtains. My only is that the heating was excessively high. I would recommend staying here if you are planning to stay out the whole day and use the hotel simply for sleeping.
