Alojamento agradável com tudo o que é necessário para conhecer Londres a uma curta distancia a pé.
Pros:

O alojamento está perto do BigBen e da Estação de Victoria, poucos minutos a pé. Situa-se numa zona residencial bonita, calma e segura. O Hotel está bem decorado e é agradável e os funcionários são muito simpáticos e prestáveis. Tem pequeno-almoço continental simples mas suficiente e com qualidade. O preço do alojamento e do pequeno-almoço é excelente comparativamente com a oferta existente.

Cons:

Não existem restaurantes perto do Hotel a uma distancia que seja agradável alcançar a pé e no Hotel não servem quaisquer tipos de refeições com exceção do pequeno almoço. Ficamos hospedados no ultimo piso, o que foi positivo pois conseguimos ter vista para o Big Ben mas o Hotel não tem elevador e apesar de para nós não ter sido um ponto negativo, pois não temos quaisquer dificuldades físicas, não aconselhamos a pessoas com alguma incapacidade ou dificuldade física em subir escadas.
