 With my room being at the back of the hotel I heard a humming noise that was quite distracting to me when I was trying to sleep Room 408 In fairness to the hotel I am someone who does not like white noise so others may not be as bothered by this as I was I asked the clerk about it the second night and after I did the noise seemed to dissipate The third night the humming noise was back and when I checked out I asked the clerk about it He said he could not say for sure but it may be the air conditioning unit of the building next door over which they have no control I would stay here again but would ask for a room on the front of the hotel 
 My room was very clean The bed very comfortable The size of the room was perfect for a solo traveler I think it may be a room intended for only one as there was only one bathrobe in the closet It it were a room for two I could see that it might be a tad too small Room 408 at the back of the hotel Location was easy to get to from the Earl s Court underground station Only a 36 minute commute from Heathrow The little neighborhood that I had to walk through was very sweet I ate at The King s Head which was excellent as well as the Indian food restaurant Masala which was more casual I also ate at the Secret Thai restaurant which had a charming atmosphere and great food Location of the hotel was a 10 15 minute walk to the Natural Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum I am a walker so it didn t bother me but the Buckingham Palace is 2 6 miles from the hotel Easy to find and very safe but it is a walk
