Vicinissimo, meno di 100 metri, alla metro di Earl's Court (quindi in zona 1) e allo stazionamento della linea di autobus notturna N97. Consiglio di fare colazione all'ottimo Baker Oven davanti alla metro invece che pagare 10£ in albergo. Stanze molto piccole ma pulite, servono giusto per dormire. Ascuigamani cambiate tutti i giorni, asciugacapelli in camera, personale cortese e disponibile. C'è qualche buon pub e ristorante asiatico nelle vicinanze.

The great thing about the Enterprise Hotel is the proximity to the Earl's Court Tube Station, restaurants and stores. It was very safe for a woman travelling alone. I had to return after dark one night and it is not even half a block off the main road, well-lit and with people walking around. The disappointing thing was the horrific price of internet. I had my own laptop so I could do some travel writing. I had to purchase hours from the front desk. Here in Canada WIFI and internet hookups in rooms are free in hotels. It was also free all along the south coast of Spain. Also, it cost me 5 GBP per day to leave my laptop in the care of the front desk. This is rediculous as that service is free in most hotels around the world. If I had known it would be safe in my room I could have left it tucked in my luggage, but the front desk encouraged me not to take that chance. The noise of people partying and arguing loudly across the street from my window went on until 2 or later in the morning everynight; not the fault of the hotel and since I felt very safe there, I was not concerned, tho' it did interrupt my sleep a few times. I think the price was too high for one person in such a small room. My decision to continue my stay there was because of the safety I felt and being too busy to explore other options. I did talk to people and found a more modern hotel with much larger rooms for about 30 GBP less 5 blocks to the West, but that was my last day. So all in all, it was convenient and safe place to stay, but far too expensive. The prices on the dinner menu kept me from eating there as well. I went out and found all my meals much cheaper not far away.

Rooms were small but clean. The outside-area in the backyard was full of doves and their dirt. Breakfast was not included in the price and one day we had to stay without fresh towels. Food in the hotel-restaurant was good, as well as restaurant-service.

The place is nice, clean and in a good location (very close to Earl's Court Station). The employees are competent and kind. The only problem is about the size of the room: they're really small, and so is the bathroom. However the overall opinion is good. I would recommend this place to anybody, especially young people who use the hotel just to sleep.

Hotel is nice and with a good quality vs price relationship. Rooms are little but clean and comfortable. Tube station is just 2 minutes away on foot. The area around is nice and you can find there whatever you need (restaurants, cafès, supermarkets, post office, banks etc)

Se siete a Londra per visitarla e non vi interessa restare in camera questo è l'albergo che fa per voi. Le stanze sono piccole ma pulite e silenziose. Per me tutto OK!

L'Hôtel est très bien situé, à tout juste 2 minutes du métro Earl's Court. La chambre était petite mais fonctionnelle, et vraiment très propre, de même que la douche et les toilettes, qui se trouvaient dans la chambre. La réservation sur venere.com était très simple et rapide. Je pourrais recommander cet hôtel à des personnes de passage à Londres, et je pense que j'y retournerai si j'en ai l'occasion.

L'Hotel si trova in una zona molto carina, e cosa importante, vicinissimo alla metro. Le stanze pulite ma molto piccole e il bagno quasi non esiste, però per chi come noi in Hotel andava solo a dormire!!! La colazione non è compresa nel prezzo e non vale la pena farla in Hotel, basta uscire e di fronte alla metro c'è di tutto.

I think it is completely crazy asking customers a 2.5% commission for payment with credit cards (not even in East conuntries I paid it, really incredible)and asking 2 pounds per room if you would like to leave the luggages in the hotel (not in the room, I mean, but in storage room!!!). I will never be back to this hotel, I am not lemons to squeeze.

Hotel was close to a lot of good pubs and little grocery stores. Only 10 pound cab ride to Victoria station and a 10 minute walk to catch the big bus tour. Room was clean and stocked with fresh towels and soap everyday. Unfortunately room was EXTREMELY small, even by european standards, but definately sleepable. Hotel staff was friendly but not too informative. We inquired about where to catch the big bus tour and were told to go to Victoria station. As I had been to London before I was pretty sure you could catch it at any big bus stop. We went for a walk that evening and found such a stop and inquired about where to pay and where to catch it and were told we could do so right there. Hotel had a nice lobby with pay as you go internet access. There was also a pub and restaurant in the hotel. Overall wasn't a bad place to stay for a reasonable price.

I´m pleased with the stay, but there was a lot of yelling during the night outside one of our rooms (we had two rooms), towards the street. The firealarm also started 7.30 in the morning and of course it was false. The staff was both gentle and "not so very gentle". Anyway, I think it was much worth the price and me and my family would likely stay there for another holiday in London.

A dog have more place in his house than we did have in our room. The double-room was just 8 qm (its what people have who are sitting in Jail). So if one did want to pass the other, one of them did have to lay on the bed. For a Continental-Breakfast 4,95 Pound is in relation to Germany very expencive. A English-Breakfast for 7,95 Pound is given at the next corner for 2,95 Pound. For that money, you have in Germany a Breakfast-Menue with all around you can think. And normally its included in the Room-Price. To Deposit the laguage for three hours after beeing there 5 days (and paying 240,00 pound for that "room"), they charged per bag 1 Pound. In German Hotels its a normal Services without any charge.

The hotel is on a quiet street very close to the Earl's Court tube stop. There were good pubs and restaurants close by. No breakfast is included in the price of the hotel, but can be purchased. Although the room was small (like most in the London area for this price range), it was clean and comfortable. The picture of the room on the website is much larger than the double room we had, and could be misleading. Coffee/tea were provided in the room. Good place to stay for a visit to London!

Rooms are quite small and rather stuffy. The only air came from a small window in the room. I wouldn't like to stay there at the height of summer. Walls are paper thin - you can hear every word of conversations in the room next to you. Staff in the hotel are not in the least bit pleasant, welcoming or helpful. This is also the only hotel where I have ever had to pay a concierge charge (£1 per bag) when leaving my bags behind on check-out day. The location is good and the prices quoted are reasonable for London, but I would pay for a better hotel than this next time.

Difficult to compare prices/quality, since this is first time in London. Compared to f.ex Germany or Italy, which we visited this summer it is approximately on the same level, taken into account London is a big city with expectedly higher prices. The hotel said 90% of their booking is via internet

The hotel was cheap considering we were staying in London, and as we were staying for only one night it was adequate. However, the receptionist was unable to use the credit card machine properly, causing my cards to be rejected. When she finally got it working I had to pay with my credit card, which I was charged for. The room was very small and without any toiletries such as soap. Coffee and tea were provided; however the sachets and tea bags were torn and unusable. If I had paid the full price for the room (around £115) I would have been very disappointed.

All in all we find the hotel very satisfactory and the relationship between price/quality is close to excellent. The only smaller problem is the spaciousness of rooms - a double room at Hotel Entreprise is the same as a single room in other hotels!

Positive points: cheap,near metro, comercial street and museums. Negatives points of my triple room: very tiny room, difficult to move three persons at the same time.The foto of the room you see in the web, for sure is a deluxe room!.Bathroom old.

For a short stay in London the rooms are sufficient. The first night we had a very small bed (Double room) but after we criticise it we got a twin room with a large bed. The hotel employees were being helpful.

Further than these info, I wish remember that I had not received any reply to my two mail, wrote before my holiday. Very strange because I have seen many people at the reception. Finally, the room (i have requested a quad room) is probably small also for two person. In four, it was very difficult stay here. Goodbye.
