This is the fourth time we have stayed in this hotel. Very satisfied with the central location (Earls Court tube station is around the corner) and the staff. However, this time we had some problems with the airconditioning in our room. It kept blowing warm air and could not be adjusted down. Even when we set the control panel to 15 degrees, it remained extremely warm in the room. Fortunately we were on the ground floor and a window and a door could be opened so that it was somewhat bearable. Nevertheless; again satisfied with this hotel and next time I will book here again.
