6/10 Good

Style over substance
The worst thing about this English hotel is there was no tea/coffee kettle in the room a nightmare if you personally aren't running on the same time zone as local restaurants and coffee shops. I was also very disappointed that the room was so tiny there was nowhere to leave my open case without tripping over or having to move it. The electronic gadgets, lights etc are very fancy and must have cost a fortune but my shower fitting was cheap and leaking slightly. I personally didn't find the bed that comfortable, a mattress topper might have helped. I suppose it would be OK for an overnight as the location is superb but I would never stay here again.

2/10 Poor

Tiny tiny rooms
Be ready to squeeze past your partner if you share a double room. Do not take more than 1 case into the room. You literally cannot pass each other without turning sideways Freezing cold rooms staff gave a tiny heater to solve this that didn’t. 2 nights here Ruined the end of our 10 day trip All 3 rooms should be sold as a single occupancy, Also cannot sit straight on toilet due to wall curving in very uncomfortable to sit sidewise

4/10 Fair

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.

Like many modern hotels, the room was very small with only one bedside table and no dresser. We had to walk sideways at the foot of the bed to get around it. The location was brilliant. We walked to dinner and Earl's Court Station.The room was very quiet despite facing a major road.

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.

My husband and I stayed for 5 days. We had a double bed in a small room without a window. It was small but I knew it would be when I booked the room. The staff was excellent. They were attentive, pleasant and helpful. The location was perfect because of its proximity to the subway. The breakfast was tasty. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Very modern hotel and well equipped. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Be prepared for an extremely tiny room with no space for luggage, but it is workable short term.

The property itself was nice and in a good location. The room however was so small I couldn’t imagine if I had stayed more than one night. There is literally no place to put anything. My husband and I had to take turns opening our suitcases to get out the essentials. I stored my suitcase in the shower overnight so we didn’t trip over it and put the other against the door and could still barely move. We had to put our clothes on the floor and I had to climb over the bed to get out. The bed was comfortable and the area around the hotel is in a good location and felt safe.
