Pros:

Molto carino, e con camere dotate di prese universali che quindi nn necessitano di adattatori.

Cons:

Non c’è ascensore! La mia camera era in mansarda. La fortuna? Avevo valigia quasi vuota …..

Pros:

Die Lage ist hervorragend und die Umgebung ist hervorragend. Vieles ist zu Fuß zu erreichen. Victoria Station ist 5 min zu Fuß entfernt und es gibt viele Lokale, Pups und Shops zur Verpflegung gleich um die Ecke.

Frühstück für 10£ völlig ok
Dreibettzimmer Delux war für uns drei ausreichend groß, auch für einen längeren Aufenthalt (7 Tage) geeignet.
Ein ordentliches vollwertiges Bett fürs Kind. ALLES TOP

Cons:

Der Ausblick aus Zimmer MZ 101 gibt jetzt nicht besonders viel her 😀, war für uns aber kein großer Punkt. Wer schaut schon aus dem Fenster.
