A little background information:
We decided to leave the comfort of our house and change the setting for 2 nights in two different hotels in London:
We went by tube until Earl's Court and then, as we went out of the station, we took right on the 3rd street.(Barkston Gardens Street).It took us approx. 5 minutes to reach the hotel.
The street has the Barkston Gardens (green area) at the right and many hotels at the left.
There is also a Youth Hostel across the road.
As we entered the hotel, it looked like a small but well-designed, welcoming one.
The entrance was shining and I was happy to see a hotel well-stocked with useful guides and maps on London.
The check-in process was quick, we received the card for our room and..We went inside:
Our room was on groundfloor, near the reception. (This has the disadvantage that you might hear the reception phone ringing..Tight sleepers beware!)
The room is small, indeed, but we were there to sleep, not to run. And we slept well.
The place was clean, the bathroom had a modern look, the room consisted of all what ''WestWalesGranny'' said, plus a flatscreen-TV, a coffeemaker (teabags and coffee included) and a safe.
All the things in the room were working and we had enough soaps, shampoo, towels whaterver.
Even if they don't have drawers/shelves they have intelligently designed a space to hang some clothes in.
As about breakfast..I have nothing to add except what ''WestWalesGranny'' said.
We haven't tried the tea/coffee though.
P.S. Earls' Court is indeed in zone 1 but check with tfl.gov.uk how much exactly would take you to the places you want to visit. Keep in mind that there are repairs during weekends and Tube lines are partly closed.
