A very cheap hotel (considering the prices in London), the room was quite small and not as clean as someone would expect. The staff was very helpful and friendly.Quiet neighborhood. 2' walking from the metro station(Earl's court-green line)! A good choise if you don't want to spend a lot of money for 3 days in London!

Our experience, at the Lord Jim in Earl's Court, was the worst hotel stay we have ever had. The morning we awoke to bed bugs! The hotel's reaction was "that's what you get when you stay in a hotel- too bad for you". Without other options, we tried another room. No bed bugs in second room. But there was mold... More

If you want to spend not more than two or three days in London, on a budget, Hotel Lord Jim is what you need. It's located at 2 minutes walking from Earl's Court underground station, very convenient for London City sightseeing. Staff is very friendly! The room was small, but actually fitting a double and a single bed. The bathroom... More

We booked by calling the hotel and explaining we need a double room and a triple room with wheel chair access. On arrival we booked in to our "double room" it was more like a single room with a double bed in it... was so small you had to climb in the bed from one side and no room to... More

I stayed at the Lord Jim last night as I had to come to London at the last minute for an interview. I paid £52 for one night for an en-suite room and was given a double - it was adequate for one but I hate to think what it would be like for two. The service was extremely friendly... More

Me and my fiance stayed at the Lord Jim for one night, Nov 2011. The room was what you would expect, small and just basic, telly, kettle and shower. Clean, but pretty worn around the edges. We had a small balcony overlooking the street, which was a bonus as room was quite small (double). Bit noisy on street at night,... More

Good for the price. Small room and unfortunate fire alarm at 7am but staff friendly, room clean and breakfast fine. More

My wife and I should've enjoyed a short break in London, unfortunately we had booked the Lord Jim, ok at £84 for a double room with en-suite in central London it isn't expensive but i would at least expect to be able to go to the toilet without wedging myself between wall and shower door. The room was delapidated and... More

We were going to Earls Court Arena and wanted an hotel close by as we don,t know London to well . As it was only for one night we decided on Lord Jims , it was reported as a three star we usually go for four stars but as it was ideally situated literally two minutes walk away from the... More

I have been in this hotel in September 2011, alone, for business, 5 days. I liked it. The room is tiny, my case had to stay under the window and there was few place to hang my clothes. Bathroom OK for one person, shower during rush hours is just a trickle, but it is OK if you have good will.... More
