Love the location, the rooms are comfy.
Pros:

Loved the location and the bar area

Cons:

The heavy scent when you walk in.
One of those plug in scented machines. Hits your nose with a bad chemical effect. How about some organic / soy candles.

Bathrooms are very very small.

Great location
Pros:

Perfect location, can walk to a lot of areas or get busses very easily from Oxford street, or walk 5 mins to a bus stop. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Went out of way to help me with issue with the Chromecast on my TV.

Cons:

Bathroom is tiny and minimal to no wardrobe space. No drawers to place clothes so mine spent most of the week crumpled in my suitcase. On Saturday this is definitely a party hotel with lots of young 20 year olds partying in the court yard. The rest of the week is relatively quiet though, but be prepared if you are expecting a quiet Saturday lying by the pool.

Bestes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis über Silvester.
Pros:

Die Lage hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Außerdem war die Bar sehr gut. Auch die meisten Mitarbeiter waren freundlich und zuvorkommend. (Der Barkeeper dessen Lieblingsfußballer Marco Reuss ist, soll hier besonders hervorgehoben werden :) )

Cons:

Wenig Ablagemöglichkeiten für Kleidung. Die Klimaanlage war einmal sehr laut.

Pros:

The venue was beautiful. We were able to have a drink in the courtyard which was lovely.

Cons:

The parking facility was not actually available and wasn’t clearly labeled so when we were able to get to the front desk to find out our room wasn’t ready yet and had to move the car we didn’t get off to the best start. Once we checked in we went to the courtyard for a drink and snacks, but after we ordered food and drinks we were told that we had to be out in 15mins, which is understandable but would have been nice to know before ordering food and having to eat in a rush. Then the fire alarm went off at 1am and when we got downstairs they said it was a false alarm, and didnt offer any apologies or even a coffee the next morning at check out.
