Pros:

Struttura molto bella e pulita e personale molto accogliente. Le signore della colazione molto educate e gentili

Cons:

Unica pecca è che mi sono stati prelevati più soldi del dovuto per la “caparra” che però non era specificato durante la prenotazione.
Mi sono però stati restituiti tutti al momento del check out.

Pros:

L'accueil et l'histoire de l'établissement en font sans conteste un établissement charmant. Bien que la chambre soit de petite taille, le petit déjeuner et la gentillesse ont largement compensés.

Cons:

La chambre et la salle de bain sont exiguës, mais pour une nuit et avec la contre partie de l'accueil et du petit déjeuner ça compense.

Excelente! Vale a estadia!
Pros:

O hotel é ótimo. Super bem localizado. Funcionários excelentes. Quarto pequeno, mas já sabia! Cama confortável. Tem elevador e servem café estilo londrino todos os dias (caso sua diária tenha café incluso). Todos os funcionários foram muito prestativos e solícitos, e inclusive me emprestaram adaptadores para carregar o celular. Recomendo!

Cons:

O único ponto negativo é o jato da ducha do chuveiro não era forte. Mas nada que desabone a estadia. Com certeza volto e recomendo.

Ok for the cost
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The hotel smelt odd and it's very basic and old fashioned. But can't deny it's value for money. The walls are very thin and were kept awake by other guests until 4am

Pros:

For me it was an excellent location for where I needed to be and very accessible for travelling to other locations. There are two tube stations very near by. The Variety of food choice for breakfast, continental, fruit, and cooked breakfast was good.
