Ho già scritto tutto prima.
Pros:

È un Hotel piccolino, perfettamente integrato, con i suoi mattoncini rossi,con le villette attorno. Il check-in è comodissimo, ti lasciano le chiavi in piccole cassettine chiuse con un codice che ti inviano tramite email, ma per qualsiasi domanda, puoi contattare la struttura e ti rispondono subito! La nostra camera, al secondo piano, ha il letto alla francese, molto comodo, ma la grandezza è giusta, per un soggiorno di qualche giorno. Il bagno è piccolo, non c’è il bidet, ma non lo trovate da nessuna parte, è normale; la doccia bella comoda, il tutto molto pulito e accogliente, nonostante la moquette!😅 Ho letto qualche recensione sui rumori notturni della strada, è vero, si sentono, ma a me non danno per niente fastidio, anzi, mi cullano! Avevo qualche perplessità sulla mancanza della colazione, ma appena attraversi la strada c’è un’ottima Bakery, carina, informale, con ottimi prodotti ed anche conveniente! Il quartiere molto tranquillo, ricco di supermercati, non è un quartiere turistico, non trovate tanti ristoranti per cenare, c’è un Burger King, camminando c’è qualche localino, ma consiglio un pub della zona, si chiama Avalon, praticamente a 3 minuti dall’hotel, classico pub inglese tradizionale. Clapham è ben collegato, ci sono autobus, ma soprattutto la Northern line (2 minuti dall’Hotel!) che si collega praticamente a tutte le altre linee di metro e ti porta dappertutto. Vedi pochi turisti, ma tanti giovani del posto che o vanno a lavoro o tornano da lavoro…o corrono…qui sono tutti runner!!! In sostanza, ottima esperienza, ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo, ci ritornerei!

Cons:

La mancanza di regolazione della temperatura e una finestra con la maniglia rotta, quindi senza possibilità di aprirla.

Finding Agatha...
Pros:

Questo hotel è davvero eccezionale: vicino alla fermata della metropolitana, con negozi e locali vicinissimi, è comodissimo per chi vuole visitare Londra, senza spendere un patrimonio.
La nostra camera era deliziosa e il bagno nuovo, con le finestre a bovindo, pulitissima, fornita non solo di piccolo frigorifero ma persino di ventilatore che si è rivelato utilissimo! Per non parlare del piccolo servizio di cortesia con la possibilità di prepararsi tè, caffè o cioccolata calda, grazie al bollitore e gustarsi un gustoso coockie.
Siamo stati benissimo, grazie alla messaggistica il check in e il check out sono stati semplicissimi, consiglio assolutamente a chi vuole andare a Londra di soggiornare in questo hotel!

Pros:

Great location and very clean

Cons:

Not the property’s fault but we would have liked a bigger bed, but to be fair to the property it’s listed as a double bed

Great service
Pros:

I booked last minute and the hotel still manged to facilitate an early check in which was incredibly helpful as we had an event in London - this saved us 2+ hours extra travel. The staff were friendly. The room was very clean and tidy. We were there during a heatwave and it was very warm, but anywhere without air con would be. The location is great - bus stop and metro very close and a good cafe with coffee and fresh bakery opposite. The room had a small fan, towels, mini fridge and netflix. The value for money was great.

Pros:

Good location, smooth check-in and out even though no reception

Cons:

The room was in the lower ground floor, looking at the street. It was noisy because of the traffic, difficult to keep the window open.

Worth the price for the location
Pros:

Location was good as it had easy access to the underground. Bed was comfortable. Easy check in and check out. They supplied us with a fan. They had a fridge.

Cons:

The room was very small and nearly like a basement so very little light. There was only one small bin in the bathroom and none in the bedroom.

Cheap but basic.
Pros:

The staff are all excellent. The hotel is very close to a tube station. The rates are low, so very good value for London.

Cons:

No AC, so windows need to be open, but the hotel is on a busy road and right next door to a popular pub with outdoor seating. The room was dated and basic.
