Our overall experience was mediocre. The rooms were clean but the hallways had a distinct smell. Breakfast seemed unorganized( eg not have utensils ready, plates still wet from wash, forget to take orders etc). Location was nice, close to train station.

10/10 Exceptional

We switched to the Cura from another hotel that was unacceptable. We were so relieved to stay here; it was clean, comfortable, and safe. I would definitely recommend this hotel to other travelers, especially Americans who are used to the included amenities like coffee pot in room and air conditioning.

The hotel is well decorated and recently updated. Location is 5 star. However they have some guest rooms on the basement with no natural light which is weird. And the basement hallways stink of an unbearable stench.

Room was nice but bathroom tiny & shower dated with mildew etc. Stairwell musty & smells but we had to use as there was only 1 small elevator. The restaurant and main areas are gorgeous.

Verified review

8/10 Very good

Perfectly located for us right in the centre of Earls Court. The hotel was clean although we did have some blood on our bathroom mirror, which the staff cleaned off promptly. The room was very small and only had 1 chair. The bed was pushed up against the walls on 3 sides but was very clean and comfortable. The in room facilities were a little stingy as there was only 1 coffee or tea each with only 1 biscuit each. The bathroom was a good size and the shower was good but the shampoo dispenser was impossible to use. We didn’t have breakfast here but it did look good. The best part of our stay was the staff who were very attentive and friendly. Overall it is a perfectly placed hotel set up more for individuals than couples due to in room facilities, generally very clean with brilliant staff. 👍

Staff incredibly friendly and helpful. Room spotless. Mattress had a slight dip on one side. Sound proofing in the room not great, I got woken by slamming doors and also a neighbour watching TikTok videos at 5am. Location is great.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

Very friendly staff, just like all the other comments. We were able to check in a little early thanks to a lovely woman at the front desk—so appreciated. Well-located. The room was decent, comfortable and clean, but missing a few details - like wash cloths, a shower that kind of overflows onto the bathroom floor since the drains didn’t empty quite fast enough, a random tooth brush found in the bathroom when we first arrived. None of these were dealbreakers and we had a perfectly nice stay, but just a little more focus on housekeeping details would have upped the impression.
Verified review

10/10 Exceptional

Enjoyed our stay here! When we came to check in was told that they only had basement rooms available unless we wanted to wait - when looking for hotel rooms I purposely didn’t book some hotels as they were windowless rooms so opted to wait. The lady behind the desk seemed a bit dismissive and over her shift, she told us to sit and wait and would let us know when our room was ready. She left her shift and did handover and then I went to check with the man who was now on the desk and he didn’t know we were waiting but that was all sorted and the rest of the stay was good! Was a bit nervous after that first interaction Would recommend this hotel, nice and peaceful - bathroom was slightly dated but functional and room was nice, bed was comfortable.
Verified review

6/10 Good

To be honest, the hotel was much better before the renovation and change of name. The beds were more comfortable and the rooms were roomier. I was also really upset that you removed the refrigerator and the microwave. It's always nice to be able to heat something up and keep cold items. Very disappointing. This was my third time at this location but I won't be returning sadly. Also, I'm not in London to watch television but so many channels were gone :(
Verified review

2/10 Poor

Overall, the hotel location in London was great and the staff were generally polite and helpful. The room was comfortable and our stay started well. However, I did experience an unfortunate situation during my stay. At one point my personal hygiene bag disappeared from the room and was later returned after I reported it, possibly having been accidentally discarded by housekeeping. Later during the stay, a gold ring that I had left on the nightstand went missing from my room. Aside from this issue, the hotel itself was pleasant, but I do hope management takes these incidents seriously so future guests can feel fully secure leaving personal belongings in their rooms.
