Habitación cómoda aunque ruidosa. Muchas escaleras.
Pros:

La habitación estaba bien equipada, con camas cómodas y amplias, varios enchufes en diferentes sitios y con la climatización ajustada a buena temperatura.

Cons:

Desde la calle había que subir 84 escalones hasta la habitación, sin avisarlo previamente.
Habitación muy ruidosa, con un sonido constante como de agua circulando por tubería, molesto sobre todo por la noche. Recomendable llevar tapones.
Las ventanas tenían golpeteos a causa del viento, tuve que quitarles la holgura con trozos de papel.

Pros:

God central beliggenhed i forhold til metrostationer , det var derfor let at komme rundt. Stedet virkede som et megetr rolig og sikkert område, uden for meget støj. Alle deltager på 12 personer var godt tilfreds.

Cons:

Hotellet er ganske smalt og derfor var der mange trapper op til 4 etage og der var ingen elevator.
Vi vil nok vælge søsterhotellet Kentington Garden ved siden af.

The location was amazing!
Pros:

It was very clean. We loved the location. We asked if we could have a room with bath and we got it.

Cons:

The room was very small. But it didn’t really matter because we were on the move all day.
