Recently stayed at this Hotel while in business in London. It is a 3 minute walk from the Earl's Court tube, which is a straight shot from Heathrow. I paid 11 pounds roundtrip from the airport to Earl's Court. It's also on the Piccadilly Line, which takes you to SoHo.. People at the hotel were super nice and accomodating. My... More

Really pleased! Great location, basic but clean. Cute rooms. Breakfast is a bit rubbish as only toast but for the price can't complain!!! Staff really friendly and helpful. Booked a triple room and we all got our own comfy bed.....no nasty sofa beds!!

You may be a bit disappointed when you fist get in. But you may later understand that this hotel indeed offers you value for money. The house is old and the ceilings are high, adding to the comfort of your stay. Despite humble interior, Merlyn Court has all basic amenities, is clean and is conveniently located. Earl’s Court underground is... More

Very clean. Wifi only works on the ground floor (this was not mentioned when I booked - it only said free wifi). The ground floor single room is very noisy - right next to the main door, so you hear the door each time it is shut, forget a good night's sleep). Very basic breakfast - just toast and weak... More

I've been to this place twice. The second time was quite disappointing. Not only was the room smaller, but I found on its desk a long list of "don'ts" I hadn't seen during my first stay: one of the points included that I not leave the towel on the floor (why should that happen?) and be economical with water and...

I thoroughly liked Merlyn Court hotel. My single room was spotless. It was a single twin bed with a sink. Must better than what I was expecting. The toilet & shower were just a few stairs away, but also very clean. The hotel kept everything clean which is very important to me. I'm out all day long, so I don't... More

On our first trip to London for many years we were naievly hoping for value for money. Unfortunately we were disappointed with this hotel. Though the staff were friendly and helpful and the hotel was clean, the beds were uncomfortable and the breakfasts were very sparse. (Tea and coffee with thin white bread toast and marmalade-no choices). Over our 7... More

This was my third trip to the Merlyn Court, and it's a reliable stand-by. My favorite part is the cleanliness: very diligent and polite cleaning staff. They are unapologetic about its being a budget hotel: no TVs or even WiFi (though a few guests were able to pick up a signal by sitting in the central staircase), but who needs... More
