Pros:

המלון עבר שיפוץ. הכל חדש נקי ויפה. החדר היה גדול ומפואר וכל הסניטציה הוחלפה. הצוות ידידותי וארוחת הבוקר מצויינת. נחזור לשם.

Cons:

מזוג האוויר במלון חזק מאוד ובכל השטחים הציבוריים, כולל חדר האוכל, קר מאוד.

Overall, it was a very satisfying one-week stay with a fantastic location and mostly excellent service.
Pros:

The hotel is in an excellent location, within walking distance of the British Museum. The surrounding area is very convenient, with supermarkets, tube stations, and bus stops all close by. The room was clean, tidy, and remarkably quiet, ensuring a great night's sleep. Dinner at the restaurant on the first floor was delicious, and the service was warm. I would especially like to express my gratitude to "min" at the front desk; her exceptional and welcoming service made our stay truly wonderful. Thank you again!

Cons:

The only downside was the lack of a mini-fridge in the room, which would have been very useful. Also, a few male staff members at the reception desk seemed to lack patience, so there is some room for improvement in customer service training.
