Pros:

Punti di forza camera sempre pulita arredamento e una bellissima doccia

Cons:

Non mi e piaciuto la posizione della camera nel hotel perché era di passaggio sotto la hall per la lavanderia esterna e il locale pattumiera.
In sintesi rumorosa.

Carino per un breve soggiorno
Pros:

La posizione é buona, a 15 minuti a piedi da Victoria Station.
Bagno abbastanza grande e pulito e letti comodi.

Cons:

Nella struttura non é presente un ascensore, la pulizia della camera é pessima, con la moquette e le tende macchiate da precedenti clienti.

Pros:

Nice neighbourhood, no traffic etc. noise. Room was nice and clean albeit bit small, everything worked. Bathroom and shower very nice.

Nice breakfast, even gluten free bread available and a separate toaster for GF bread in the kitchen!

Cons:

Couple of false fire alarms during the night on our 5 nights stay wasn't so nice, but better that than no alarms and real fire.

Would suggest adding some hangers on the walls near the door for clothes/overcoats. Only one small wardrobe for 3 persons is a bit minimalistic.

Estancia perfecta
Pros:

La atención recibida y l rapidez a la hora de reparar algún problema en la habitación. El personal es excelente, las habitaciones súper acogedoras y una limpieza increíble.

Cons:

La única pega que tengo fue que no había mucha variedad en el desayuno, y siendo celíaca tenía aún menos variedad, pero es lo único.
