Viaggio da ripetere
Pros:

Struttura un po’ lontana dal centro di Londra ma servita da bus (di fronte all’hotel) da metro e treno a 700 mt
Così come dal centro della cittadina di Stratford ricca di locali dove mangiare e fare shopping in un enorme centro commerciale
Insomma tutto eccezionale

Cons:

Le informazioni che vengono richieste non sempre soddisfano del tutto
Ho chiesto informazioni sulle carte trasporto ma non sapevano nulla dico nulla o almeno chi c’era in quel momento alla reception, ma queste penso che siano delle informazioni importanti che dovrebbero conoscere
