Brighton Lanes

We absolutely loved staying at this little gem of a hotel. It's just a few steps from Earl's Court station, but somehow feels incredibly calm and tucked away from the bustle of London. The beautiful back garden was one of our favorite spots. If we hadn't been out exploring the city every day, we would have happily spent hours there reading and relaxing. The restaurant was excellent, and the bar served some wonderfully eclectic cocktails. We loved all of the staff, who were warm and welcoming throughout our stay. A special mention to the charming Lithuanian maître d' in the restaurant, who made every visit a pleasure, and to the talented bartenders. Our beautiful room with a view of the quiet street was definitely on the compact side, and we could hear the guest upstairs who seemed to enjoy stomping around. That's probably part of the charm (and quirks) of an older building, and perhaps a few thicker carpets would help. But honestly, it was a very minor issue in what was otherwise an amazing stay. We will be back to this magical place.

The rooms were clean, staff were helpful. Overall great experience except the long walk to and from the room to the reception area which is the only exit to the building for guest.
