Location

lack of air conditioning; lack of standard power outlets compatible with European or USA plugs; absence of a USB port and, consequently, the inability to charge a mobile phone

Unterm Strich viel zu teuer
Pros:

Großes Zimmer, Bad und Bett. Blick auf grünen Hinterhof. Hotel mit altmodischem Charme.

Cons:

24 h Lärm durch vermutlich Wasserrohre. Schimmelige Fugen im Bad, viele in reparierte Beschädigungen. Sauberkeit lässt zu wünschen übrig.

Der Hammer: Im Zentrum von London, im Herzen Englands zahlt man für ein "English Breakfast" extra!? Was ich in jedem Hotel, das ich bislang auf dem Kontinent besucht habe, als Selbstverständlichkeit bekommen habe!? Bacon, Würstchen, Ei in jeder Form ist Standard allüberall, aber am englischsten aller Orte zahle ich dafür drauf!? Dazu ist das "Continental Breakfast" in der Auswahl so spärlich, dass man sich für den Übernachtungspreis echt schämen sollte.

I never stayed because it was so awful
Pros:

I left the hotel as soon as I got there because the facilities were not fit for humans.

Cons:

Air conditioning is a must in these times. It is not ok for a hotel in this modern age to be without it. Add to that windows that you aren’t able yo open!

prima locatie, vriendelijk personeel en ruime kamers
Pros:

fijne locatie, dicht bij metro en buslijnen, op loopafstand van British Museum en voldoende eetgelegenheden in de directe nabijheid

Cons:

airco op de kamers zou fijn zijn geweest. het was erg warm in London en een kamer aan de voorzijde direct onder het platte dak is dan toch minder aangenaam. daar konden de mensen van het hotel niets aan doen. maar voor de toekomst is een airco aan te bevelen.

Hot weekend in Londin hotter 'cold' water
Pros:

Location was good for a short break including theatre visit

Cons:

No cold water in the room. The cold water tap ran hot. We visited during heatwave and this made showers uncomfortable as water was extremely hot. Had to buy bottled water to clean teeth and use for kettle.
Staff said maintenance would investigate but it did not happen.
No air con in room fan provided.
Room was very hot but not as hot as the cold water
