 | Barkston Gardens Hotel: Excellent Location

I agree with a previous post about this hotel being in an excellent location. It is right near the Earls Court tube station (which is on the Piccadilly line -going to and from Heathrow airport) with plenty of fast food joints, restaurants, hotels, supermarket and action. The hotel rooms are more like motel rooms, though I can't complain as they were good value for the money. The TV was a small size but I realised that hotel rooms tend to have everything on a smaller scale in Europe. The room seemed ok as it had all the necessary basics.
Certain section of the 5th floor smelt heavy of cigarette smoke. Continental breakfast was included in our hotel price which was good. They have a bar within the hotel as well, but if you feel like saving some money then there is a bottle shop round the corner and also the convinience store selling them cheaper. There is a nice and cheap Indian restaurant called "Masala" off Earls Court road (5 mins walking). It is a no-frills place and has tasty food. Take-away prices are even cheaper than dine-in.
They do have free internet for guests though, which is pretty handy. We also got a free city/tourist map of London from the reception, which was good again as in London everything is expensive, including a tourist map for 2/4 pounds.(which I reckon should be free of charge !!). Since we had to catch the Eurostar at Waterloo on an unearthly hour of 4 am, the hotel booked us a fixed price cab for 17 pounds, which I know is a steep amount but at least I knew what the fare was. The cab was a very comfy mercedes.
