Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Spent 9 nights in room 13 on the top floor of The Knaresborough. First off, brilliant location, less than 5 minutes flat walk from Earls Court tube station. Correspondence about accessing the property was excellent and right on time and pleased about the lift to the top floor. On arrival the room was very clean and bigger than it appeared on the photos with a very nice and large outside patio area and seating. Everything you could want was in the room and the fridge is always useful. Bed was very comfortable and the rainfall shower, in a bigger than expected bathroom, very nice indeed. Plenty of glasses and bowls etc, cannot think of anything we needed that was not there during the stay. In summary, a super place to stay for even a longer than usual break.
Nothing not to like. If I was going to be really picky some more hangers in the wardrobe would be nice, but that is a very small point indeed.
We really liked the location of the accommodation, it’s pretty close to 3 undergrounds and on a gloucester road you can choose from the 3 main lines (circle, district and piccadilly).
Bathroom had a very small washbasin and sometimes we heard some noises from other rooms but it wasn’t something bad.
地点非常好,步行几分钟就可以到达地铁站,去哪里都很方便。这里还满足了我们既想要有厨房又有空调的双重要求。
沙发床的房间稍微有点小
The location was perfect for us as we like to stay in that part of London . The patio / balcony was big and the best part of the composite apartment
The TV took a bit of time to be fixed as we were in during World Cup matches , which was a bit of a disappointment .

Lovely apartment with air-con and outdoor deck. Well equipped and comfortable. Lift to fourth floor.
Nothing
Very clean, great location and the staff/owners do everything they can to ensure you have a great stay.
地下鉄駅に近い。
グランドフロアの部屋ということで選んだが半地下の部屋を割り当てられた。テレビに電波障害あり。ともにクレームしたが対応してくれなかった。
Bien equipado
Todo bien
I had a room in the basement. was a bit noisy because of the AC units outside the window. Location is good close to the Metro , shops and a few restaurants. Room had a small kitchen. I only stayed 1 night, thus didn't use it.
Room was a bit chilly but I didn't bother puting the heating on.
Gemakkelijk in checken , heel schoon, goed bed. Rustige buurt.
Fijne douche, maar een douche gordijn!
So central to the train station and grocery stores. A lovely area. The room is very spacious and great ensuite and kitchen. Everything we needed.
Nothing

Convenient location.
WiFi was terrible. Cannot believe that a hotel would provide such a substandard WiFi service in this day and age.
Konumu çok iyi
Oda temizliği yoktu, terlik vesaire kişisel bakım eşyaları yoktu verilmedi ve bunun bilgisi yapılmadığı için biz de hazırlıksız yakalandık
The location was great with a tube stop down the road and a 3 mins walk, with local shops and cafes/bars
The bed was uncomfortable and the mattress sagged in the middle. The pillows were flat and need replacing. The shower was uninviting. We got a basement room which was dark and gloomy. There was building work going on in the room opposite which woke us and noisy neighbours above. No staff to complain to.
Die Lage der Unterkunft ist gut - angebunden an die Ubahn mit kurzem Fußweg. Auch die Gegend ist sehr schön und friedlich.
La ubicación
Nevera rota y algunos desperfectos varios. El tamaño del apartamento es muy justo para 3 personas. Faltaron toallas para un huésped.
The property was close to station and walkable to the beautiful streets of Chelsea and Kensington.
The bathroom smelt dirty and the air conditioning was terrible. Weather in London was reaching over 30 degrees and it was cooler outside than in our room.
Loved the location, price and amenities.
There was hair in the sheets, as if someone had shaved and brushed the stubble off onto the bed.
We liked the location and that the room was spacious. The staff was cooperative when we asked for a favour.
The whole bathroom was flooding every time we had a shower due to poor design, the whole floor and shower room were completely flat. The corridor outside the room was filled with cleaning equipment, towels, and was messy and not well presented. One morning we woke up and someone was doing painting works outside the flat, and there was a smell in the air. No one warned us, and in my opinion they should have the flat vacant when doing works right outside it. The access to the flat was not ideal, if the elevator broke you could not access the room. Thankfully we discovered a way to exit without using the elevator but we did not have the code to enter back in through there, which was hazardous due to my present condition. Minor compared to the rest but there was no coffee machine which is unlike most places I've stayed in.
The location was super convenient, the rooms were well stocked with the correct utilities.
That in the price you pay, no one comes to change your bins or bedsheets unless you're having a long stay, and if you do require that service, it's an additional charge
The location was great, so handy for getting around London. Quiet and felt very safe. Close to the tube and a supermarket. You could walk to some museums from the place. Shower pressure was great. The room was a lower ground level room but had a big window which gave great natural light. The bed was comfortable.
The room was battered and damaged. It was disappointing. There were marks on the walls, missing paint. The flooring was uneven in places, on a closer look on my last morning a realized it must have been previous water damage so they removed some of the flooring and there was mould I think on the floor hidden by a rug, hence why the floor was uneven. The fridge had an odor when it was opened. The cabinet in the bathroom was broken when I arrived which sometimes affected the door closing.
Everything!!!! Super loved staying in this place. It felt luxurious bcos of the high ceiling. Love the cute balcony. I love how close it is to the train station.
Nothing
La posizione vicino alla fermata della metropolitana. La zona è carina
Appartamento non soddisfacente per tre adulti. C'è solo un armadio a due ante. Il bagno è piccolo anche se la doccia è e comoda
Konumu oda içi çok çok iyi. Oda görsellerden daha geniş. Odaya giriş süreçleri vs mail ile detaylı şekilde açıklanmıştı hiç sorun yaşamadık.
Yan tarafta büyük bir market olması sebebi ile sabah mal kabul sesi çok fazlaydı. Sürekli geri vites sesi vardı çok erken saatte uyanmak zorunda kaldık.
Just location, because I picked it out my self
Cold & Empty No amenities at all Doesn't look anything like the pictures On the basement floor No view Whole bathroom gets wet when showering Empty fridge Just a soulless room with nothing
הצ'ק אין היה קל ונוח, המיקום טוב, גודל החדר בהחלט הספיק לנו, המיטה היתה נוחה אך לא גדולה במיוחד לזוג, במקלחת הרצפה מחוממת אז היה נעים וכיף, המחיר סך הכל טוב ביחס לתמורה.
במקלחת היה וילון ולא מקלחון זכוכית, וראש הדוש לא היה כל כך טוב, היה לי קצת קשה לשטוף את השמפו מהשיער (לקח הרבה זמן בגלל ראש דוש לא איכותי כל כך)
The location was perfect! Everything was as expected. The studios were clean.
L’emplacement et les bons conseils des employés
La chambre pas assez équipée. Pas de vrai cuisine et chambre très petites
Très propre et confortable. Cuisine bien équipée. Bien située dans une quartier tranquille, mais accessible. Plus grand que je ne le pensais.
Gute Raumaufteilung, Balkon, Gute Lage
Das Wasser im Waschbecken ist sehr langsam abgelaufen. Türen haben laut geknackst
Super apartament! Nie wiem skąd negatywne oceny. Cena adekwatna do jakości, metro 4 min drogi! W każde znane miejsce jedzie się mniej niż 10 minut. Polecam :)
good location, close to the metro, can get noisy sometimes because of the traffic outside
no luggage room, poor wifi, poor shower, broken cabinet door in bathroom, no room service/cleaning (only if you pay extra 25£/day),
Goed bereikbare locatie. Fijne kamer.
Wij hadden een kamer op de “lower ground floor”, hierdoor (denk ik) werkte de wifi niet altijd.
La ubicación
colchón y almohadas
La struttura è situazione in buona posizione molto vicino alla metro. La pulizia delle stanze era buona. Il letto era molto comodo. Abbastanza silenziosa. Temperatura ottimale. Ottima soluzione delle prese USB quindi anche senza adattatori si può ricaricare il proprio dispositivo.
Per raggiungere la la camera bisognava prendere un ascensore essendo purtroppo sprovvista di scale. Quando si faceva la doccia si bagnava tutta la stanza.
Great location
The room required much needed maintenance. The room had a broken bathroom cupboard, blocked shower head, cracks on the wall and needed a paint.
location okay, expected noise level for London as next to a busy junction. We were in a front facing room so pretty noisy and always bags of rubbish outside. Probably a lot nicer in a room at the back. The bathroom/wet room was spacious and the fan worked well. Bed was comfy.
The 'kitchenette' was dark with too many utensils and no working area. Couldn't wash up properly as there was no sink plug, or drainer for the dishes. The bedroom area could have been better with a small table and chairs provided, however the space was limited and pretty cramped already with an armchair and desk. The room seem designed for a solo traveller on a work trip.
Comfy bed, close to underground. Next to street, but when you closed windows it was very quiet
I booked room in basement and in front of the room was super big mess.
Uns wurde bei Rückfragen und Wünschen direkt geholfen. Es gibt im Erdgeschoss und dritten Stock je eine Waschmaschine und Trockner zur freien Nutzung
Das Sofa als Schlafmöglichkeit war zu hart
L'appartamento e' molto carino e funzionale, letto comodo, cucina ben fornita, lavatrice, forno a microonde etc, terrazzino. La zona e' molto tranquilla e la metro vicinissima.. Lo staff ha sempre risposto immediatamente alle nostre richieste via whatsapp, portandoci anche il necessario che mancava e regalandoci check in anticipato.
se posso permettermi di dare qualche consiglio alla proprieta', le pulizie forse sono un pochino approssimative (polvere sotto il letto, mobiletto del bagno sporco e sigarette sul tubo del terrazzo. Inoltre sarebbe utile un tavolino per pranzare o cenare anche pieghevole vista la presenza della cucina, mentre c'e' solo un tavolino basso da divano. Per il resto perfetto
המיקום מעולה הוראות הציק אין פשוטות ומדוייקות במטבח השאירו לנו קפה תה היו מספיק כלים
החדר קצת מיושן צריך להדק את השטיח לריצפה נתקלנו בו כל הזמן וזה די מסוכן למעוד עליו במקלחת הארונית לא נסגרת
Das Hotel ist sehr günstig und zentral gelegen und nahe der U-Bahn Station Earl's Court. Somit hat es eine direkte Anbindung zum Heathrow Airport. Zudem fährt die Buslinie 74 in die Innenstadt. Ein Supermarkt und Restaurants sind in der Nähe. Der Check-in war unkompliziert und verlief reibungslos. Wir hatten das Studio ganz oben und die Dachterrasse ist wirklich groß, müsste aber renoviert werden.
-Ein zweiter Nachttisch wäre super -Kaum/keine Ablagefläche im Bad -Eine Handdusche wäe schön -Das Zimmer entsprach nicht der Beschreibung (Kein Schreibtisch oder Sitzbereich) Wir hatten Glück dass wir immer auf der Terrasse essen konnten. Bitte unbedingt die qm Angabe beachten
Lovely shower and toiletries. Comfy bed
Appartement charmant avec une magnifique terrasse et plutôt bien placé !
Équipement minimal pour la vaisselle ! Manque de précisions sur le parking pour la voiture ! Globalement nous avons eu de grosses difficultés pour trouver un parking et avons bénéficié d’une amende de 80 Livres dès que nous sommes arrivés et que nous avons vidé la voiture…. Nous déconseillons vivement de venir en voiture à Londres !!!!
It was extremely well placed for us and very easy to access as there were no keys required. Self checkin & customer service was very easy to get a hold of.
No toilet roll holder on the wall, hand basins were very narrow & hard to wash ones face..no shelf space to put toiletries in either toilet or shower room.
Location
Very small Lift was tiny and slow
Close to the tube station, new fixtures & furniture and good air conditioning
Location
Lower ground level
Management was very kind to upgrade the room. very much appreciated.
Excellent location in a quiet area and three minutes walk from Earl Court tube. Plenty of coffee shops and grocery stores located in the area. Area is furnished with a kitchenette including fridge, a great A/C and a super comfy bed!!
Sweet spacious studio. Great location one block from the Earls Court stop, near restaurants, Boots, Sainsburys, and M&S Food. Helpful host.
I thought it was a washer-dryer machine but it was just a washing machine but it wasn’t the end of the world, I used the racks provided.
Easy access and close to activities
Nothing
Location was good with the underground nearby and supermarket around the corner
The smell and mess outside the room, lack of utensils to use, if you offer a stove top and pans you need utensils to use them. Lack of a table and 2chairs
Good location. Quiet street. Close to bus and metro stops, restaurants and shops. Easy access to the room. Room with a nice balcony, very clean room, very comfortable bed, kitchen has everything you need to get started.
A hand shower would be good. If you only have a rain shower, you should have a shower cap. You need a rubber mat in the shower because the tiles are slippery. Someone might slip. For such a price for a room, more toiletries would be more appropriate.
Nice n cosy.
The shower didn't have the pipe ,only was from the top. U should add a pipe shower also.
to many stairs
Location location location... to Earls Court station, which, by the way, has lifts and a ramp with a short 5 min walk to The Knaresborough by Nestor. The studio was very clean, comfortable, and quiet with a well equipped kitchenette. There are different sized studios, and mine was perfect. Oh, did I tell you the building has a lift... not many of the old buildings do. Earls Court is my favourite place to stay in London. Freddie Mercury lived up the road just off Earls Court Road, and so did Princess Diana's before she married Prince Charles, who, of course, is now King. Everything is in walking distance to The Knaresborough by Nestor. Lots of restaurants, supermarkets, parks etc. The correspondence between myself and Nestor was outstanding, with help from check-in, during, and at the end of my stay. It's not often you have ongoing correspondence. The care given to me was truly very personal service. Thank you to Nestor. I definitely will recommend this place. Five Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Wasn't anything I didn't like but if I may suggest a few clothes hangers would be lovely 😊
We chose the place for the second row within a year due to good location considering the price per night. The staff were nice and definitely trying to help out when we had problems.
We were unfortunately targeted by a phishing attack via WhatsApp when our personal data was stolen as a result of booking with Nestor. On top of that I must say we noticed a downgrade in the cleanliness of the rooms/ apartments since our stay a year ago. There was a lot of dust, the floor was clearly not vacuumed in a long time as well as dust in / on the night stands. Also, we initially booked a more expensive studio on the ground floor only to find it looks nothing like the pictures. We arrived after 15:00 as that was our scheduled checkin only to find the room not prepared for us so we had to wait until it was. The room smelled faintly of cigarettes and the bed was absolutely broken and not suitable to sleep on. Fortunately, the staff were kind enough to arrange a different apartment for us in the basement (which is the "cheaper" one of the accommodation options but we were not refunded). Since this is a basement apartment it does smell of moisture and mold so would not recommend to someone who is allergic. Also the shower could use some squeegee to be able to dry the floor quicker, otherwise the water just tends to sit on the floor for hours even with floor heating on.
Cleaning of bathroom
This was an ideal place to stay in central London. Our room was spacious and clean, and had all the amenities we needed. The lift and washing facilities were especially appreciated. The building is minutes away from public transport, shops, cafés and restaurants. Unfortunately the wifi, which had been working fine the first three nights, stopped working the last two nights. Also the entry code we were given did not open the front door. We and two other groups were stuck in the street, getting a Busy message from the phone number provided. Eventually (long story short) an employee emerged from the building on unrelated business and gave us the override code. This code could easily have been messaged to us before we arrived, saving some angst. These things are a pity as everything else about the accommodation was great.
We really appreciated the location, close to the Underground, and the availability of the staff who helped us with wathever we needed.
Very central location close to tube. Good shower. Clean bathroom. Cheap day rate (although this was off-season). Very smooth and easy check-in+access (door code)
Aircon unit was throwing some sort of dust everywhere on the kitchen bellow. We had a loft room and there were at least three old or new water leaks and the walls were dirty around the kitchen. Dust and smudges everywhere. Very uncomfortable spring mattress (woke up with neck pain)
Nice and spacious room in a good location. Heated floor in bathroom and nice kitchenette.
Internet was slow and there was no signal.
I loved the location as so near to the tune and the balcony was a great element.
It was super hot which was uncomfortable and puzzling as the outside temperature was cool (about 13-15) and there was no heating on. It was 25 degrees and the air conditioning only took it down to 19. For security it wasn’t possible to have the balcony door open at night.
The location and the heated bathroom floor
No internet... and I doubt there ever is Cutlery was chipped and cracked Only one bowl for 3 people Not enough cutlery After 6 months they still can't send to Outlook or Hotmail They got backed twice and my personal data was leaked. Bathroom is tiny The click clack bed was difficult to operate .... and this is easily the most expensive accommodation in the 3 months we are in Europe!!
Great location.
Would have liked a safe.
Clean and near bus station and train station in Ear’l Court.
Very small for family. Not 11 months children friendly.
It’s a small apartment in earls court. Good location. Contact only by WhatsApp.
No luggage storing facility, no hangers in wardrobe
The room was much smaller than expected. Basic amenities no milk in room. Had some issues with communication and a requirement for an updated card even though we had paid in full
