This Hotel is very close to Earls Court Tube station and from that perspective is well positioned, BUT I would caution against using Taxis if you are planning trips to the Shows in the West End, since the hotel is on the " wrong" side of Knightsbridge the fares can be a little " eye-watering". e.g £23 to the Haymarket...

The hotel is in a convenient location, near underground, pubs and museums - small but quiet and well fitted room and bathroom with tub and water mixer - excellent breakfast with buffet- helpful staff TV set on the wall not in a safe position.

Stayed one night in Room 65. Scuffs on the wall, terrible stained carpet, dust and muck in the corners of the room, and in the window. The bed was clean. Curtains didn't fit or close properly, so the street light shined in at the sides and in the middle. Bathroom was tiny. Neither the sink not the bath drained properly,... More

This hotel was spacious and well located, the generous room had everything you could need including en suite, tea making facilities, towels, ironing board / trouser press and even a safe. The hotel provided breakfast in the morning and also had a bar, the staff were very friendly. The only bug bear was that the safe was chargeable per night.

My wife and I recently returned from our 50th Wedding anniversary trip to London staying at the BW Burns. Overall our stay was fine. The accommodations were nice but did not use the morning breakfast as the selection was very limited. I especially liked having their guest computer in the bar area but no printer. The keyboard had been used... More

I was in need of a hotel room in central London at quite short notice and after some looking around I came across this one at £90 for a double room so it was at the budget I had and in a great location. I read some reviews here and most were good but a few bad ones, one of... More

A lovely little hotel in a perfect location. I was travelling alone and had a single room and was more that happy with it. I asked for a room overlooking the garden and on the higher floor. And that is what got. The room was much bigger than I expected. Very clean and peacefull. Staff was friendly and I was... More

Stayed two nights in April. Booked through hoteltravel.com and was charged $44AU extra for booking through them! Tip - use expedia or the hotel's own website. The room itself was in the basement and was quiet with good facilities. Free wifi (password supplied). Location was excellent. Earl's Court station is wheelchair friendly (great for people with heavy cases) and we... More

Booked as a late deal of Easter for 80 pounds for a double room with breakfast for the night. Good location near to Earls court tube, small size double as expected for a three star in London in a nice area. Room clean enough with shower but a bit worn, excellent reception staff allowed an early check in (thank you... More

I've stayed at this hotel many times (10-15) over the past few months. The staff are generally very friendly and helpful, although occasionally a little frosty. The hotel has a warm welcoming atmosphere and the rooms are clean although a little dated, especially some of the bathrooms. Almost all rooms I've stayed in have creaky floorboards except the lower-ground floor... More
