| It is impossible to run out of things to see and do in London. Visit the Tower of London, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben and Parliament House... the list goes on and on! If it is theatre you're interested in, take your pick from the latest shows in the West End.
London is also home to many interesting museums, the Tate Modern, the Natural History Museum, and The British Museums are just three you can choose from. For great shopping visit the famous Oxford Street or stop into Harrods of London. Getting around this exciting city is not difficult either. London has a comprehensive public transport system that can get you to any point of the city. |

Excellent hotel for a central base to the centre of London, facilities and accommodation first class at a very reasonable price, especially if you get a good deal. Very recommended.

The hotel was very clean and the service very good. The room was a bit small but with a large tv screen. Very good value and I would definitively reccomend it.

The room was hot in the summer, but they do have fans available if you ask. It is a decent hotel in a central area, very close to two underground stations.

Stayed for only one night. Great location in London. Room was ideal, staff were nice and a great price of £40.00 for a night. Its not a four star but was very clean, modern and met all my needs. The bed was comfy, t.v. in room. Also had tea and coffee facilities in the room. I would use it again if the price were right. Hotel has a North African/Moroccan theme, which was a nice change.

Great location! Not a luxury hotel by any means but for the price we thought it was fine. Would stay there again. Breakfast was a little pricey but we found more reasonable places to eat nearby.

We requested a non smoking room, arrived room we have been given was a smoking, no more double rooms available so were given a twin. Carpets throughout the hotel were threadbare and the staff were really rude and unhelpful. I would never every stay at the Hogarth again. People were walking out of the hotel before me because the staff were so unhelpful and slow.

The lobby of the Hogarth is quite nice. However, once we reached our floor, the appearance changes completely. Dark and dingy looking, not very reassuring. The room itself was more of the same - the overhead light was provided by a fluorescent bulb, and all the furnishings and bedding looked old and worn. The bathroom was not well-kept. It was clean enough, but the floor looked like it hadn't been swept in a few days, and the whole room had a "seen better days" air to it. All in all, I didn't feel like it was actually dirty, but I didn't feel comfortable either. I wouldn't stay here again.

An excellent, low cost alternative in London. The location is very quiet, though still only a 3-4 minute walk to Earls Court tube station.
The room was large, very quiet, in fact well above what I expected (though in London, expectations are...well....).
No breakfast included, and when having the options of english or continental breakfast, we opted for Starbucks and their competitors in Earl Court road.

Camere grandi e pulite, la zona è molto carina piena di pub e negozi e soprattutto molto vicina alla metro. Decisamente consigliato. Attenti perè nel prezzo non è compresa la colazione!

Our request for early check in was denied, however the hotel offered to hold our bags for us. When we returned at 2pm to check in, we were not given the type of room we reserved online. We had to again request a double bed. The room was in fine condition. There was no alarm clock and our requests for wake-up calls were not always met. The bed and pillows were extremely uncomfortable. The bed was so old we could feel the springs and buttons in it. Our bed made everyday by housekeeping, but sometimes with our dirty clothes made into the bed. We will not be returning to the Hogarth.

The hotel was very clean and the staff where polite. However, we were not told about check-in or check-out times on the website and were quite shocked when we found out we could not check in till 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

Good, functional hotel in the heart of London. Room extremely good, very clean and spacious. Welcoming staff. Communal areas non existent - taken by onsite Arabic restaurant. Breakfast pricey - £13 a couple (McDonalds & range of cafes are two minutes away on Earls Court Rd).

We were happy of our stay at the Hogarth, as everything was almost exactly as we thought it would be after reading about it on venere.com. The staff was very nice, the metro 2 mn away, and the bedrooms calm. The decoration of the bedrooms is a bit old fashioned (british like) but it was a very good price/quality rate.

Für einen Kurzurlaub in London genau das Richtige. Die Underground ist 2-3 Minuten entfernt, auch die Busstationen. In ca. 15 Minuten ist man im Zentrum Westminster. South-Kensinton ist ein nobler Stadtteil, ein Spaziergang lohnt sich jedenfalls. Das Personal im Hotel ist fast ausschließlich indischer oder arabischer Abstammung, Englisch-Sprechen zählt nicht unbedingt zu den Stärken des Personals. Auf jeden Fall kann ich dieses Hotel mit besten Gewissen weiterempfehlen!

Eingangshalle und Frühstücksraum war zu unserer Zeit eine Baustelle. Auf die Bauarbeiten wurde bei Buchung nirgends hingewiesen. Preis war deswegen für diesen Zeitraum zu hoch. Frühstück wurde in einem kleinen Raum serviert und war nicht gerade üppig. Käse wurde lediglich verpackt angeboten, Wurst gab es zum Frühstück garnicht.
Mitarbeiter des Hotel konnten keine internationalen Sprachen, teilweise nicht mal richtig in Englisch ausdrücken. Kartenlese-Gerät für Bezahlung funktionierte nicht, daraufhin entstanden Gebühren für Bankautomat in Höhe von 8 Euro...

Although the rooms at the Hogarth were somewhat worn out, they were quite spacious by European standards. There was an Underground station about 1 block away which was very convenient and although not on the quiet street they advertised, if you sleep with the windows closed and ask for a fan, it was comfortable enough. I would recommend to any one travelling on a budget, although this 3* hotel was not cheap.
