Pros:

Location.
The bed was very comfortable.
The staff were very helpful.
It was useful having a fridge in the room.

Cons:

Breakfast -the options weren't very healthy and it was difficult to get the food I requested. I asked for two grilled(half) tomatoes on toast and mushrooms. The waiter said I could do toast for myself, but changed his mind when he saw I wasn't impressed. I got half a grilled tomato and 1 leathery mushroom, on toast. The next day I asked for two grilled tomatoes on brown toast. I got one grilled tomato on white toast. I asked another waiter and he was very helpful and immediately got me another grilled tomato. On the third day it didn't seem worth the struggle and I just had cereals.
The adjustable free standing mirror at the desk in the bedroom didn't adjust; it just pointed at the ceiling, so was unusable until I found a way of wedging it with the coffee machine pod holder.
The room was grey, and quite dark and dour, not in a restful way.

Pros:

Violetta on reception was exceptional. She was extremely welcoming, attentive, professional and helpful. Although she must see dozens of people every day she made me feel highly valued as a customer and as an individual.
My room was lovely, so comfortable with a fabulous shower. I slept very well in the bed, very comfortable and lovely bed linen.
I will definitely return, it's my favourite hotel I have stayed at in London.

Cons:

The breakfast probably wasn't worth the money for me as I have a fairly small appetite. If you're a hearty eater it would be good value!

Overall good hotel for a short stay in London.
Pros:

Rooms are spacious. Staff is very friendly. Overall good facility. The beds were very comfortable!

Cons:

The rooms were far too hot. We couldn't sleep from the heat. We even asked for 2 fans which the staff brought to us right away, but they didn't help much.

Sehr gutes Hotel mit toller Lage
Pros:

Das Hotel ist super gut gelegen, nur 4 / 5 Minuten zur U-Bahn-Station Barbican und noch näher zur Station
Farringdon ( dort hält u.a. die Elizabeth Line U-Bahn aus Heathrow ) und ruhig an einem Park gelegen. Sehr zentral,
so das man auch einige interessante Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichen kann.
Das Frühstück war sehr gut und wenn man die Buchung incl. Frühstück gewählt hat, konnte man immer aus einer Karte frisch Zubereitetes bestellen, wie z.B. Rührei mit Bacon oder Lachs ( sonst 29 GBP bzw. 21 GBP pro Person ).
Wir haben auch 1 x Abends im Restaurant gegessen, was ebenfalls sehr gut war.

Cons:

Die Dusch-Armaturen sind sehr gewöhnungsbedürftig, hier sollte das Hotel ein bessere Erklärung bereit legen.
Wir hatten ein Zimmer im 1.Stock ( Zi. 107 ) zur Parkseite hin. Reisende, die sensible Ohren haben und Probleme mit der Klimaanlage haben und diese beim Aufenthalt ausschalten, hören Nachts ein permanentes Geräusch aus dem Keller. Nicht ganz so schön ist auch die Tatsache, dass sich nur ca. 150 Meter ein Fleischgroßhandel befindet, der Nachts zwischen Null und sieben Uhr geöffnet ist. Eigentlich bekommt man davon nichts mit, aber es laden viele LKWs ihre Ladung ab, und da gibt es immer viel Gehupe und die Klimaanlagen der LKWs sind nicht zu überhören. Alles ist sonst wirklich ok, aber wer sehr gut hören kann, sollte darauf achten, ein Zimmer nach hinten zu bekommen.

Weekend in London
Pros:

It was close to the Barbican and had air conditioning and a cooler to keep our drinks cool, friendly staff. Plenty of coat hangers for clothes. Liked the container for toothbrushes and the space for toiletries in the bathroom

Cons:

The dressing gowns are only for skinny people. The seats in the room were not as advertised in the picture so a little disappointing and not as comfortable as they look. Lack of drawers for underwear
