The 48-room Mayflower Hotel & Apartments is an upper-middle-range boutique located on the west side of central London in easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. This hotel is also directly behind the Earl's Court tube station, making it particularly convenient for transit -- guests can reach most London hotspots in 30 minutes or less. In addition to the small and tasteful rooms in the main building, there's a separate building with one- and two-bedroom apartments. Rooms have wood floors, hand-carved headboards, flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and marble bathrooms, but there's no air-conditioning and rooms facing the train station can be noisy. The nearby Amsterdam Hotel is a similar property, with more muted decor and in-room air-conditioning.

Scene
Boutique hotel in Central London with “East meets West” decor
Occupying a charming Victorian town house with a brick facade, white trim, elegant molded details, and intricate wrought-iron balconies, the Mayflower Hotel blends in seamlessly with the other buildings on a pretty street. The hotel's small lobby is simple and homey with white walls, white tiled floors, and rich wood furniture and wood details, such as an intricately carved art piece behind the reception desk. This aesthetic extends throughout the hotel, and while the decor can feel dated at times, it’s mostly tasteful and well-kept. The hotel’s location directly behind the Earl’s Court tube station makes it ideal for sightseers and tourists, though business travelers will benefit from the accessible location, too.

Rooms
Small rooms with hand-carved headboards, hardwood floors, and free Wi-Fi
Rooms at the Mayflower Hotel feature attractive decor including dark-wood Indonesian furniture, hand-carved headboards, and bright wall art that's unique from room to room, plus colorful velour textile accents. While the rooms vary in size and style, all are fairly small and feature hardwood floors, white walls, and tiled marbled bathrooms with walk-in showers. The smallest room is the compact 65-square-foot Single Rooms, while larger rooms, such as the Family Rooms, are still compact but have additional bunk beds and a separate desk area. All rooms include flat-screen TVs, safes, electric kettles, hairdryers, desks, iPod docks, free Wi-Fi, fans, and individual Spa Therapy toiletries. Rooms are not air-conditioned, and most rooms don’t have mini-fridges. Some guests complain that basement rooms smell damp. Rooms at the back of the property can be noisy, as guests can hear both trains and announcements from the nearby tube station. Light sleepers should consider front-facing rooms. The larger one- and two-bedroom apartments are in a different location on Warwick Road, about a four-minute walk from the main part of the hotel. These apartments have larger rooms with kitchenettes, though this four-story building doesn't have an elevator.
