Pros:

De kamer voldeed aan de verwachtingen die we hadden op basis van de prijs. Het hotel is centraal gelegen nabij een treinstation en 2 metrostations.

Cons:

Door de centrale locatie is er ook veel beweging op straat. Omdat het een ouder hotel betreft, is de akoestische isolatie slecht. In de kamers aan de voorzijde van het gebouw is dit hinderlijk als je een lichte slaper bent.

Good for a weekend stay (2 nights) to visit family.
Pros:

Used for a family visit. Very close to the location I was visiting, and convenient; clean, comfortable and quieter than I expected given location.

Cons:

The room arrangement is OK given that I wasn't in it except for bed and ablutions, but would be awkward for more extensive use. I don't personally like fixed shower heads, but that's a matter of taste.

Pros:

Its location was absolutely fabulous, right next to the DLR, Hammersmith & City and District line, only a short trip to Westfield Stratford and a little shop over the road for if you need anything.

The room was very clean and the bathroom was very modern & new.

Cons:

The placement of where the TV and fan were was a little confusing, especially as my partner and I are the type of folk who like laying in bed watching tv & it was a little awkward to do so because of this placement.
