- Family room very small and a bit noisy (close to the elevator). I believe all rooms are very small.
- toilette small but clean
- service adequate for a short stay (less than one week)
- Good breackfast (considering the price)
- Nice place very close to the Earls Court metro station (Piccadilly, District and Circle lines)and with a lot of restaurants and food shops.
- Overall opinion is favourable with a good ratio quality/price.

Once a year I go to London on holidays. This was the first time I went with my parents and my sister and we really enjoy the stay in the hotel.
We booked a quad room via internet and everybody was so happy with the price and the place!
The hotel is located in Earls Court, two minutes walking from the tube and easy to find and there are a lot of restaurants and several supermarkets around.
The room was not very big but it?s normal when there are 4 people with 4 suitcases, handbags and everybody clothes around. The bedding was ok, there was a small tv, a hair-dryer and a kettle for tea and coffee and almost every day we had clean towels...
Everything was clean, the commune areas, the dinning room, our own room and the inside bathroom...
We specially enjoy the breakfast. You could have cereals, toasts, buns and croissants, coffee, two different sort of juices and fresh fruit!
The receptionists were so friendly. Every day after our journey around the city they ask where did we go, what we are going to do the next day, they even recommend us more places to go!
The unique inconvenient we had was the first night we stay, the water tanker was a little bit noisy because it was flowing water but in the morning I told one of the receptionist and when we came back the problem was sorted out.
On November I am planning another trip to London with my boyfriend, so if they can give me a good price I will go there for sure!
For a european hotel, I can't complain about the Lord Jim. If you need a huge space to lounge around this is not the place for you, but if you're going to be sightseeing and not spending much time in the room, its close and convenient to a tube station, clean and has a standard european breakfast. The price is average for the area and not one to complain about, especially so close to central london.
