The rooms were hot, no air conditioning or fans, no bar fridge. Furniture was old and falling apart. Had kettle but no lead. Bed cover and carpets were dirty. Had to keep asking where bar staff were when you wanted a drink. Only served breakfast - no other meals as dining room semi closed. more

this hotel was good value for london and in a great location. initially, we stayed in a sixth floor room which was fine, but on the second to last night we were moved to a basement room (long story) and in the morning found a COCKROACH in our bed. IN THE BED!! i can only imagine it crawled under the... more

close to tube station,was really easy to find. first impressions from outside was ok but lobby was nice and spacious. We found all the staff really nice and helpful. Our room was small but it was just enough space as we were gone most of the day anyway. Initally the room was warm when we arrived but the fan cooled... more

The location for our visit was good. Easy walking distance from tube - though not a great help as there was a tube strike on our second and third day. Reception staff very pleasant and helpful allowed us to check in before time. Our room on the top floor, though large was very gloomy and had no ventilation. There was... more

This hotel is a short walk from Earls Court train station. We used the underground from this station to travel around London. There are a number of small shops on the way to the station where you can buy snacks and also places to eat. There is a park across the road as others have mentioned but access if by... more

Fodor's recommended this budget hotel and from the photos on TA, I thought it would be great for the $150 I was paying considering everything else I could find in a nice area of London was $200 or more for 3 adults (myself and my 19 and 21 year old). The Barkston is an old quirky hotel...it was like walking... more

I spent a Saturday night here and was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I wasn't expecting much due to the price & location (which were both very good), but this hotel has everything you need. Yes, decor was generally a bit tired, but if you want sparkling new & modern you will have to pay more. Service was good, I... more

What a find! Clean, handsome, well-run hotel in London for about 80 GBP ($120) a night. The rooms are spacious (for London) and bright. Bathroom was big and newly refurbished, and the shower was great. Our room, #206, led to an almost-private courtyard. The hotel is about a 3-minute walk from Earl's Court tube, which gives easy access to everywhere... more

You can't ask for better in regards to location. We spent four nights at the end of March. You also get a decent sized room and bathroom for the price you pay. Unfortunately, the shower was awful and almost unusable, we ended up having to be creative to not burn or freeze. The cooked breakfast was really greasy (deep fried... more
