Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Blackbird enjoys a superb location, with Earl's Court station just a short walk away and the C1 bus line stopping right outside. Guests appreciate the clean rooms equipped with amenities like Nespresso machines and complimentary fridge refreshments. While some found the breakfast area a bit chilly with limited fresh fruit choices, many enjoyed the delicious breakfast options and found the pub downstairs a convenient and welcoming addition for an authentic British experience.

Excellent Stay Near Earls Court

convenient location espresso machine

The location is excellent. Earls Court station is right across the street this a lot). I found the room super clean and comfortable. There was even an espresso machine with plenty of pods, which I appreciated.

The room I stayed in was quite small. It was difficult to fully open my suitcase without placing it on the bed.

Each room has a distinct name rather than a number and contains details like pictures of blackbirds. A fridge stocked with water and fresh milk added a thoughtful touch, and rooms are very quiet.

Acceptable Location, Notable Room Issues

chemical scents damaged furniture

The location proved acceptable for accessing various points of interest.

The room reeked of strong chemical scents. Bedding seemed unwashed. There were many stains on the coverlet. Damaged furniture detracted from the overall quality. The desk showed significant water damage.

The location near the tube station was certainly convenient. i found my room to be spotlessly clean. Everything i needed was readily available. a nice touch was the good choice of coffee pods for the nespresso machine and the complimentary water in the fridge.

I noticed a slight smell in the room. It seemed like too much air freshener had been used.
