En general buen hotel, pero muy retirado, en la periferia de la ciudad
Pros:

Lugar cómodo, el gran problema que muy retirado del centro de Londres, en la periferia.
La limpieza regular, las camas muy cómodas, el baño excelente y buen tamaño. Tiene buen desayuno incluido y una cafetería agradable, el personal cordial y muy colabordores.

Cons:

Lo lejos del centro, hay que tomar bus y metro cambiando de lineas para llegar al centro de Londres

Worthwhile. It was not my first stay and it may not be my last.
Pros:

The room was fine, more so for being on the ground floor, and quiet. Breakfast was fine, although there was a slight lack of 'continental' breakfast, as may be found in other Holiday Inns. Good decor as always in these hotels.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn't like.

Minden mással elégedett voltam.
Pros:

Sajnos a reggelihez nem volt zöldség és felvágott. Ez nekem nagyon hiányzott.

Cons:

A szállás rendelésénél külön kértem, hogy egymás melletti szoba legyen és ahol ketten voltak azoknál külön ágyat kértünk. Sajnos egyik kérésemet sem sikerült teljesíteni.

Pros:

Très bons lits dans une suite parentale
petit déjeuner parfait

Cons:

la distance éloignée du Centre de Londres mais j'en suis entièrement responsable
Le peu d'isolation phonique avec la chambre parentale ; j'entendais la personne parler comme si elle était dans notre chambre ; la prochaine fois, il vaudrait mieux prévenir je pense.
