Nice staff. Poor service - room got cancelled .
Staff were lovely but room was dirty, had been smoked in and the shower dripped all night which made it hard to sleep. We also booked 2 rooms and at 9:30pm they called my son and cancelled my his room (he hadn’t check in in yet as was playing a professional football match and we had to go straight to dinner from there). That meant he had to stay in another hotel which was an hour away from this one walking or 45 mins by train. That really messed up our morning as it meant we couldn’t see him and had to send his birthday gifts over to the other hotel by Uber in the morning. Although the staff obliged and were lovely, it was a poor effort on behalf of Point A. Cancelling that late in the evening when you are already out is not good. How do you double book a room? He had already paid for it. We almost always use Point A hotels when going to London. Not sure we will use this one again.

An amazing place to stay, close to public transport & many food options. Very reasonable price for the city, given the high quality. I will be choosing to stay here again for future visits.

It was wonderful! Clean rooms, friendly staff and great location. Rooms are small but for a short stay it was perfect close to the underground. Would definitely stay here again.

Great stay
I like where the hotel was located, near subway station and laundry facilities as well as place to eat. I plan to go back to London and was going to pick this hotel again.

Tiny and noisy
Terrible stay, both mornings we were woken up by a member of staff drilling in the corridor outside our room.
I know we chose a cosy double but you do not expect a room so small you cannot have two people moving around the room at once. It is so small you can't pass each other anywhere in the room.

Smallest room in London
Very very small room, so small that my husband and I couldn't pass each other in the room and we aren't big people. We got it with a big discount meaning we paid £25. Anymore than that and I would have cancelled and got somewhere else.
It was however clean with a comfy bed and ok bathroom. Just impossible to function in unless you take turns sitting on the bed

This property is nice and well located near the Earl’s Ct tube station in Kensington. The “cozy” room is very small so be aware. Rather tight for 2 people.

Great area to stay at. Quick access to Earl’s Court subway and not far ride to a lot of the popular tourist spots. Don’t use subways at home but the subway was easy to use. Area has a lot of food options. Hotel room very clean, and staff very friendly.
