stylish, comfortable, quiet and ideally located steps from Earl’s Court station among other great eateries, not to mention above a fantastic pub; staff, both pub and hotel, were efficient and professional

James United States of America

Fantastic location. The room was small, but still very comfortable, clean. well-appointed, and quiet. Charming, actually. The included breakfast is outstanding. The staff is very courteous and attentive to every need. And the location is absolutely excellent. I can't think of a single reason not to stay here should I return to London in the future.

John United States of America

The room was comfortable with lots of amenities in a compact space. We were initially worried about noise but it was very quiet. We enjoyed going downstairs for dinner and then coming back up. The whole experience was very positive and the staff were very kind. We greatly enjoyed the whole experience. In the morning we had an excellent breakfast downstairs and we were able to store our bags until we needed to check in at our next stop. The Blackbird was very close to the tube and busses which made it easy when it came time to leave.

Location was excellent, great value, and amazing food.

Hector Ireland

Perfect location and breakfast if you want to know what English breakfast is. All small things a good, stylish.

Sanita Latvia

great location to the subway and great area. breakfast was wonderful and part of the price.

Jeffrey United States of America

Our room was very nice and the pub downstairs was excellent. The double bed was a little small for me as I am well over 6 feet tall. But the accommodations were lovely with recently renovated shower etc. The room was perfectly quiet even though we were directly above the pub. The pub was great with delicious food and excellent beer! The location was very convenient to Heathrow as it is right on the underground line coming from Heathrow. The hotel is right beside the Earl's Court station, so it would be easy to get anywhere in London on the underground from the hotel. We enjoyed walking around the hotel to nearby parks including Kensington Palace and Hyde Park.

Jeffrey United States of America

Breakfast was amazing! Location was close to the tube but we ended up using Uber for convenience. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. I would definitely recommend this place for anyone or couple coming to London!
