Clean, Quirky, well located
Lovely quirky accomodation, not quite a hotel in the traditional sense, conveniently located to tube, Earls Court, bus stops to town - 74. Friendly helpful reception. It wasnt 24 hour reception, but that was not an issue, we had whatsapp communication, which was responsive. Room on Warwick rd was well appointed, fan provided at request (Siobhan very helpful). I had seen some reviews about noise etc, but this is a big city, of course there is noise, none of it was from inside the hotel, and it wasnt that bad. Our room, although tight, had minifridge, microwave, drinking water, coffee/tea, I would def stay again. Thank you

Avoid!!!
Very disappointed!!!! Arrived to find they didn’t have our booking waited 1.5hours for a room in another hotel so missed our table. A right shambles in reception people checking into one get rooms and walking in on people. On our last night we had 2 ladies go into our room they luckily were trustworthy and explained there situation to find there booking was linked to our room as the key cards are on done on the app. I feel this is the worst place I have every stayed and the service was shocking! Paying nearly £300 for 2 nights I was ripped off and all the issues that were along the way.

At check in we were told they didn’t have a room for us. They lied that someone tried to contact us, had no contact. Booked through EXPEDIA who were useless. Our room was resold at double the cost to someone else and we were left stranded in london, happened to lots of us on the day of a Hyde park concert. Disgusting customer service.

Horrendous
Hotel didn’t have our booking on their system. Hotels.com confirmed the booking over & over. Hotel claimed that as this property was now under new ownership it was no longer their problem. Countless customers at reception complaining about booking issues. Rooms not available. People having to change rooms due to double bookings. One girl had been looked out all night as keypad didn’t work. No one answered the emergency phone number. All in all a disaster and a terrible experience.

My booking was cancelled by the hotel about 2 months before I was due to arrive which was fine. However, Wotif still sent me a link to do a review and have still not provided a refund. It is so beyond ridiculous even though I have emailed over 6 times for my refund to be processed.

I made the original booking in October as I had tickets for British Summer Time in Hyde park. Since then I’ve nothing but issue after issue. 1. Had message in March saying the hotel could not honour my booking (with no reason as to why) I suspect it was down to the fact that they realised with BST and London pride happening the same day, they could infect charge double for my room. After I pointed out it was in fact unlawful to cancel my booking for no reason they then retracted the cancellation. 2. My original booking was pay at the property. In early June (a month before my stay I had a message from the hotel saying they needed payment upfront. When questioned it was because “they don’t have s card machine at the facility” bit odd as even the punk begged in Camden has a card machine! As I didn’t want any more stress I paid early - but after speaking with Expedia they knew nothing about the new arrangement. 3. After paying the room fee (snd receiving a receipt from the company AND a statement from my bank) I received another email to say my room was cancelled as Expedia had not validated my card!!! After speaking to Expedia they - in a much nicer way - said that was complete rubbish and they did not have to validate my card. 5. After more emails they then conceded that I could have the room. I was then told I had to pay £30 to check in before 4pm - as I had to be at the gig by 2pm I had to pay (again getting a receipt) Then on arrival I was told I couldn’t get in early!

Do not stay here!
Checked in after check in time, but no rooms were clean/available. Lobby full of people waiting on rooms. Due to going to concert, was told could drop off luggage in dirty room and it would be clean by time I returned. Beforehand needed to download an app to access door to room. App took forever and had several questions, this should have been sent day of check in so as not to waste time upon arrival. During time downloading app, receptionist spoke with a colleague who stated he didn’t feel like cleaning any rooms when asked by the receptionist. This was in front of a lobby full of people waiting on rooms that hadn’t been cleaned. Before arriving I was sent several emails from hotel, couple would be alright, but this was excessive. The check in email charged £30 just to check in when on hotel.com I was quoted a price in full. No explanation as to the extra £30.

Starting with the good: the location is fantastic. You're 3 minutes walk to the Earl's Court tube station or bus stops, and maybe 5-7 minutes walk to a grocery store. Now the not-so-good: Vonder Hotel (according to the friendly woman at the desk) was sold to another company a few months ago. Since we booked our room back in November 2022, the new owners didn't have a record of us. LUCKILY we arrived on a Monday, and they happened to have a vacant room for us to stay in for the duration of our trip. Vonder Hotel did not inform us about this, and from the sounds of it, the new hotel owners don't even have a list of the reservations (the staff said they get about 3-5 Vonder reservations/week without notice). I highly recommend anyone who booked in late 2022/early 2023 to call this hotel to confirm you have a room before you arrive. Apparently people who arrived on a Friday were turned away because they didn't have vacancy. Beyond that, the room we had was adequate. It was in the basement level of the building, the bed and pillows are incredibly firm, the bathroom is small but functional, and the shower pressure was really good. The walls are paper-thin, so you can hear full on conversations in the halls (earplugs help). Unfortunately, we didn't get any housekeeping the whole time we were there (6 nights), so we did have to request additional toilet paper and take out our garbage to the curb. Fine for a budget hotel, but best if you know what to expect.

Enjoyed our stay! It’s in a great location and they were responsive when messaging prior to our check in. However, there is not 24/7 staff or reception which was only an issue when the fire alarm went off in the building from what we believed was likely another guest smoking inside their suite. Other than that everything was great, check in was secure and easy and it’s in a great location!

Planned anything time sensitive? Don’t go here
Arrived to the building and the two receptionists were telling us they already sent us a link to check in which was incorrect. They then retracted their words and then told us they were about to do it 3:30 which was 30 minutes past check in time BUT they then tried to charge us for early check in when it’s said 3pm due to the long check on process wee we’re 45 minutes late to our event. Then the fire alarm went off at 4am which isn’t the hotels fault but, when the fire crew turned up there wasn’t a single employee in the building which is incredibly unsafe. The room was tiny there wasn’t enough room to move around and our bed was constantly squeaking. The shower was okay but, the tap in one of our booked rooms had rust on it and didn’t seem great. Overall will not be staying here again.

This is a great place to stay for a short trip in London. The room was clean and warm and quiet and the perfect place to relax after a busy day in London.

Basic accommodation in a great location
On arrival, we were met by a very helpful receptionist who explained that we would be sleeping in a building around the corner on the main Warwick Road. This was not a problem for us but something to bear in mind as breakfast is served only at the original location. The room itself was modern, clean, and very compact. The bathroom was a squeeze and only had a tiny hand washing basin. There was no wardrobe or drawers but it did have a rail with hangers. Room had no windows but a rear door opened onto a shared balcony which had a nice view actoss the gardens. This room was competitively priced for it's location and only a few minutes walk to Earl's Court tube station. Overall, this no frills accommodation was reasonable value for money, at bit on the basic side but with friendly staff and it's handy location, I'd consider staying here again.

Avoid!
Where to start. Really horrid time here. First of all, we were not provided with a towel for the 3 days we were there. Just one hand towel to share between us. And even that was the same one I had to keep drying on the Luke warm radiator. Despite Multiple requests to get some towels, they never came. First the receptionist said she would have some brought down. Which never occurred.. then multiple message to their WhatsApp desk service. First day they blamed a problem with the supplier… but if you read the reviews from the previous few months this is clearly a permanent issue. No one getting towels. So that was a lie. Day two after complaining they said to come up to the desk and get some. Then no one was even on the desk. I Message them again to say no one’s even there and they stopped replying and ignored me. The room although I expected it to be small. Was like a scene from the borrowers. Lucky we travelled light. If you were coming from abroad with two suitcases you’d probably have to leave them outside. No storage space at all. The previous guests rubbish and half drank drinks bottles were left in the fridge or us to clear. Mattress was rock solid, hardly slept and when I did woke up it’s like I’d just done a session at the gym with the rock. Just avoid. Absolute scam…

Walked into allocated room and someone in shower
First room allocated had someone in it when we walked in which is a HUGE safety issue! Back to reception to sort this out. Staff member on reception was very pleasant, apologised and then had to go to another building to physically check the next rooms were empty. While we waited and waited I took Amazon deliveries for the hotel as there was no one else there?! Reception was filling up with people and upon staff return we were told they would begin to check people in and get to us after. W t f we had already been waiting for so long! It got to a point we had to step in and ask for our room allocation. Next rooms, new building again and room fob didn’t work. Took a while but was eventually sorted with reception over the phone. Broken glass and used toothpicks in one room and an INSANE level of road noise in another. I can sleep anywhere but the level of noise was as if I was actually outside and as the doors to a balcony wouldn’t close properly I pretty much was. At this point it had taken over an hour to get into these rooms and even though they were crap so we just gave up and used them. I was awake all night serenaded by sirens and wondering if a stranger would walk in. Honestly I know it’s cheap for London but its such a lottery whether you get a good or bad, clean or dirty, quiet or noisy room it’s not worth it. I lay awake all night serenaded by sirens wondering if a stranger would walk in on me.

Very nice hotel will stay again
Hotel was very clean and tidy, room was very well equipped. My only issue was the hotel is split over two buildings, so after checking i had to go back out into the rain and walk about 100 meters to my room.

Location was great, close to shops and attractions and transport. But the room is only adequate for sleeping, and even then it can be a struggle. The bed squeaks, the room is tiny, movement highly restricted particularly when showering, the sinks so small water splashes everywhere........Not soundproof at all, can hear people talking loudly and snoring at night.

The room was small and when i asked to see upgrade in rloom size it was not worth exter $120.00 for the stay. Plus when i checked in iwas told told to use chrome to see tv. And when i check out i was told that i had regular available tv ie. The news stations. Which i had to look up on my phone. I will not staying at that location again.
