This was our first visit to Henley House Hotel. It is very well situated close to public transport,shops and restaurants. Lovely green area (Park) in front of Hotel - but traffic noise at night can be disturbing. Very clean rooms. Good continental breakfast - toast, croissant,cereals,yoghurt, cheese.

Very close to the Earl's court tube in a safe clean area across from a park with fast food, Marks and Spencer, drug store, banks and a lovely pub between the hotel and the tube. The house is very clean, the staff is friendly and competant, especially the morning gals who do breakfast. The breakfast had cereal, oatmeals, hard rolls and cheese, toast, yogurt and you could get a full english for extra. It was enough for us. Our room was small but it was arranged in such a way there was storage space for our things. Bath was small, but adequate and had upgraded granite and fixtures. We were on the top floor but the lift was big enough for 2 and luggage. When we left, my husband forgot that his passport was in my luggage and we were flying out from different airports. The staff at the hotel were very helpful in getting me numbers and info so I could locate him and get it to him. They helped us avert a disaster! My only disappointment is that we could not get the wifi to work and the staff didn't know how to help. Apparently the US wifi and European are different.

Very nice hotel,closer to EARL'S COURT tube station.My room was a double room and I think was small for two people..but in London and in that position on the city is ok!Very good relationship between price and quality..really! Check in at every time if you did a reservation(my plane was in late and I arrived at 2am..).

My wife and I were in the UK to visit our daughter, who had won an award from her employer. We wanted to see some sights in London before traveling to Derby to see her, and stayed here. While the rooms were small by US standards, ovrall, the hotel was a good value for the price. There were some roaches however, and I doubt we would stay here again. The bed was not very comfortable,either.

Teeny tiny room: twin-bed width. Shower, no tub. Nice view to private Barkston Gardens. Block to Metro, shops, pubs. The week before I stayed in Paris. The room was the same price, much bigger, with fridge, water cooker, and modern bathroom. England should use the Euro.

Good position on a quiet road only a few hundred meters away from an important subway station. Besides this, we know that the London accomodations are out of the european continental standards if compared with the price. Very little bedroom and very very little bathroom. Narrow timetable for breakfast (from 7.30 to 9.00 AM). They do not accept the electronic credit cards. Anyway for London it's a fairly solution.
