The hotel is in a leafy quiet London square just round the corner from Earls Court tube station. Our check in was efficient and friendly, Our double room at the back of building, overlooking gardens, was tranquil. The bath and shower worked well. All the expected facilities, hair dryer etc. and free WiFi worked for us. Breakfast was served in... More

I booked in for a night as we were attending a concert in the Royal Festival and the price including breakfast was very keen. Check in was cheery and our room was small but had all the facilities that we needed, tea and coffee, flat screen TV, nice compact bathroom with a shower over the bath. To top it all,... More

Simple hotel, clean (very important), good location and breakfast, small room (very small room) but if just to sleep, its perfect. The hotel is located around 03 blocks from Earls Court station (Picadilly Line - the same line that comes/goes from Heathrow airport), with PUB's, Market's and Junk Foods (MC Donalds, Subway, KFC, etc) closer to the hotel.

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
