A big white palace of 5 or 6 floors in Templeton Place hosts the Hotel George. Being situated on a road parallel to Earl's Court Road, its position is superb, you can access all the restaurants, pubs, shops and supermarkets on Earl's Court Road in 5 minutes of walking, not forgetting the immensely useful Tube station and a couple of bus' stops.
The hotel itself has some excellent points to boast, like a rich and variegated english breakfast, a free pc with a free internet connection available in the hall and, lest but not least, rooms that are a bit more spacious than what is custom in London (not at the same level of european or american ones though). The staff, very polite and always willing to have a couple of words with customers, is mixed, some are british and some other are of east-european origin. All of them speak good english.
Returning to the rooms, they are furnished in a modern style, with small bathrooms as is often encountered in London; plenty of hot water, a nice hairdryer, an european electrical plug in every room, a good selection of tv channels (in english, french, german, spanish and italian) and a daily substitution of washcloths and bed linens make for a pleasant stay.
The only drawbacks are the price (not exactly cheap) and a couple of little annoyances like the main table for breakfast too small for accomodating all the persons that it should serves or the door of the bathroom that couldn't be locked (I hope it was a problem of my room only). All in all, a very good but not cheap hotel.
Unique Qualities: Great location.
Small garden available (if the weather is nice)
Free internet connection
Great breakfast
The most beautiful receptionist in the whole world (you have to believe me, she is called Carina)
