Hotwire Hotel: 3* London (Kensington - Earls Court) Express by Holiday Inn Earls Court

[Amiga]

This Hotel features the following amenities:

Free Breakfast

Business Center

High-Speed Internet Access

This hotel was a super good deal for Christmas 2012. Unfortunately, all the rail systems were down on Christmas, so we had to take a taxi from Heathrow. The fare from the airport ended up to be a spendy £65. Live and learn. The small breakfast buffet was a good start to our mornings. The room was immaculate. The only complaint I had was that room Wi-Fi was too expensive, so everyone congregated in the lobby for free access. The Internet speed was incredibly good compared to hotels (or even residences) in North America. I guess having fiber / fibre across the street helps.

A Tesco Express is a quick walk down the road, think Fresh & Easy (same owners). A full-size Tesco is a bit farther, but walkable, and it features a pharmacy, great eat-in bakery, and a very large magazine section. If you need a SIM for your unlocked GSM mobile handset, grab a 99p Tesco Mobile prepaid SIM card at either location. In the opposite direction of Tesco Express, you'll find a McDonalds and a 99p outlet (dollar store). A few Starbucks are available nearby, but at the cost of being a longer hike. Earls Court used to be the original gay area of London, so you'll find a few remaining outlets. Something neat is that Mahatma Gandhi resided close to the hotel, at 20 Barons Court Road.
