As a traveller on a budget I rely heavily on Trip Advisor reviews when it comes to booking accomodation. Once again I have found a hotel which (perhaps because of realistic expectations) has not dissapointed. Yes it is a little tired (especially in the corridors) and a lick of paint would do no harm. Yes the floors creaked and as... more

In London with my work - stayed at this hotel, Monday with a check out Friday morning, on two consecutive weeks. Overall impressions: Staff were friendly and accommodating. The hotel is tired but the bedding and towels in the rooms are clean and in good order. On both my visits I was located at the front of the building overlooking... more

This hotel is in a pretty good location, on a side street off Earls' Court Road, overlooking a garden area. It is very convenient for the Earls' Court tube station. The traffic and people on the main road are audible but with the windows shut just about bearable (ear plugs might be a good move though). The noise does continue... more

It was only with great trepidation that I took a chance that the guests who had loved this hotel were more precise than those who hated it. I was travelling with a good friend who expects good accommodations and who is probably used to spending more than what I am willing to spend. I booked this room as part of... more

Cracky floors, very diry carpets, walls in need of paint, dirty bed sheets, water pressure problems at the bathroom. Overall, if you can book this hotel for around 40GBP its a fair deal. The facility is very below average. Not worth trying to save the extra bucks. My travel partner's room was worse and he encountered rouches!!! more

This was my second stay at the Barkston Gardens, having stayed in May 08 also. The reason i returned was because it was such a great stay the first time round i thought it must be a fluke. It wasnt, the hotel is a little worn and could do with a little decor TLC however it is clean, the staff... more
