Le séjour était parfait.
Pros:

La literie est très confortable, la salle de bain était spacieuse et le petit-déjeuner était à la fois complet et délicieux ! De plus, l’hôtel est bien placé, entre le london eye et le tower bridge. Je recommande !

Cons:

Si je dois dire quelque chose, juste que l’eau de la douche peut être froide en journée.

Good location, great AC , good for families
Pros:

Location, close to transportation we walked with our luggage from Blackfriars station. Also close to the Tate Modern, The Globe and near restaurants and transportation. We loved the strong AC, we were there during a heatwave and that made a big difference. Good hearty breakfast and a nice room to eat it in. Little beer counter in the lobby was nice too. Great shower water pressure. Glad they offered a family room for 3, and had the med already set up for her when we arrived.

Cons:

Slightly small room. Had the sofa bed out for our daughter and we couldn't walk to the window or desk. Tight squeeze for 3.

Pros:

Wszystko naprawdę super, personel miły, uprzejmy, hotel czyściutki, lokalizacja idealna.

Cons:

Jedyny minus, to śniadania, gdyż codziennie takie same, brak urozmaicenia i przy kilku dniach pobytu wciąż jadło się te same dania.

Good location. Okay hotel. Let down by rude manager
Pros:

Breakfast very good. Good choice

Cons:

Hotel Manager had a terrible attitude. Was rude and difficult to deal with. I booked a twin room. On arrival I was told I had booked a double room. Staff member at desk was ok, but said I needed to talk to manager. Manager argued with us and told us he didnt make mistakes. I had a printout proving my booking was correct. He evebtually relented but was dreadful to deal with. Rude and in no wsy customer focussed. Room had very minimal supplies - one set of towels between 2 guests (which was not refreshed on 2nd night) and tea station had 2 teabags -one each !

Pros:

The staff were very professional and helpful at all times. The rooms are basic but clean and comfortable. The hotel is very close to trains and walking distance to the Thames and Tate Modern, with restaurants close by in Blackfriars road. Breakfast was good, with a reasonable choice of fresh and cooked food.

Cons:

Tiny elevator for a 6 floor hotel. It barely took 4 people (supposed to take 6!!) and at one point we had to take the stairs from the 4th floor as it did not arrive.

Pros:

Colazione molto ben fornita.

Cons:

Probabilmente sono i prezzi di Londra, ma avere come terzo letto una brandina di un divano apribile per oltre 300 euro a notte non mi ha proprio esaltato.

Sauberes Hotel in bester Lage
Pros:

Sehr saubere Zimmer, gutes Frühstück und eine super Lage. Man läuft zwar zu jeder in der Nähe liegenden U-Bahnstationen zwischen 5 und 10 Minuten, dafür hat man viele verschiedene Stationen in der Nähe und kann je nach Ziel variieren. Für einen Kurztrip absolut super!
