Lord Jim Hotel  

We do not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Had blood-sucking bugs inside the beds in this hotel!! Even room changed, bugs still found!! We stayed three nights there. Terrible!! Could not sleep well!! The rooms and corridors were smelly. We booked family room. No family room could be offered to us when we arrived. Instead, two extremely small double bed rooms were given to us. These rooms were so small that our luggages could not be placed on floor to open them. A family room were changed for us on the second night. But bugs were still found!! Very bad experience!!

The staff were very friendly and accomadating. I booked a room with shared bathroom but they gave me a room with a shower at no extra charge. The room was small but clean and tidy. I would stay again.

Only that the toast at breakfast was cold.

Very friendly and kind staff

Rooms are very narrow and quite different from the site pictures

The location was good.

There were bed bugs! This affected the sleep so much that it was disgusting to even lie down. It resulted in one of us having to sleep in the chair because there were too many insect biting us.All in all, a waste of money as we did not have a proper rest.Did not expect this of any hotel, budget or otherwise. Basic hygiene.

very friendly , helpful staff.. Location excellent for tube and Earls Court.

The staff were pleasant and helpful.

The room had a grubby look about it - it needs a fresh coat of paint! I upgraded to an en suite which had poor lighting and there was a horrible stale water pong from the shower! A small chair would be handy in the room.

Safe, practical, nice people, their bathrooms are slowly improving, which makes it quirky and an ok place to be. Breakfast upstairs is a huge improvement from being in the hole downstairs! Very nice.

Their showers yuk

Convenient and quiet.

I booked a single room but changed it over the phone last minute to a twin bed room the room was VERY small. Even as a single bed it would have been small!

Location & cost compared to others listed on booking.com. Reasonable value.

Double & twin rooms are small. On arrival, the double room loo flush did not work, shower head was brocken, bed sheet had a hole in, tv with no reception. We advised the manager & moved rooms next day. Manager was helpful & second room was fine.

Bed Bugs!!!!! I was infected & bitten by bed bugs during my 4 nights stay at Lord Jim Hotel! My neck, hands, torso, thing & legs were swollen & had red bumps due to the bed bugs!

Great location close to the main Earls Court station and down a very nice street. The inside of the hotel is pleasant looking and clean for the most part. It's in the middle of London so the rooms are tiny as you may expect.

The single room is tiny, almost like a converted storage room although the bed was very comfortable. The rear facing view was looking onto other buildings and due to reno's happening in the basement, the rear garden was full of junk and used drywall etc. The small single room came with shared toilet and bathroom. The toilet seemed ok most times but the small shower was tiny and disgusting. It needed more frequent cleaning and people had left behind used underwear etc. just lying there. The worst part was that when I told the front desk about this, they just said 'well you know how it is' and just shrugged it off and did nothing about it??? They didn't even offer to do anything else in lieu of this, not that I was looking for any freebies, but even some kind of acknowledgement would seem appropriate. Not sure if I would stay here again because of this, only if I had my own toilet and shower in my room.

The rooms urgently need updating. It wouldn't be a bad idea to sacrifice a couple of rooms in the interest of increasing the size of the rooms - cramped would be a generouls description.
