Air conditioning is a must. And the room I stayed although new is far too samll.
Pros:

The space of the room, although fully aware it is a simgle eu suite rook is far too small for a confortable stay in the room, especially after a long flight. Although there is e-fan, it is noisy and not cool enough sometimes. Lcoation is good. Breakfast is good too.

Cons:

The size of the room is unexpectely small. So small that I had difficulties opening my luggage.

Not worth it, should have stayed elsewhere.
Pros:

It was quite central, nearby a few underground stops, and right around the corner from the British museum.

Cons:

The room was tiny, and did not look like the listing photos. The bed’s headboard was so wide which meant that as someone who is 5’10, my feet were hanging off the end of the bed. There was no air con or lift which, yes, that’s listed on the listing, but I was expecting there to be better air flow. Instead, I had to sleep with the window open and got woken up by traffic noise outside. It felt like sleeping in a shoe box.

The ‘complimentary breakfast’ was a row of cereals, a bowl of fruit, tinned peaches, cold ham and turkey and hard boiled eggs. Frankly, it was rather disappointing.

Zweckmäßig. Wiederholung eher nicht
Pros:

Die Lage war für unsere Zwecke sehr perfekt.
Ansonsten ist das Hotel frisch renoviert, das Frühstück gut und reichhaltig.

Cons:

Das Hotel und Zimmer hatte ich mir nicht gut ausgesucht. Ich habe erst zu spät gemerkt das ich ein viel zu kleines Bett für zwei große Personen gebucht hatte. Verfügt nicht über Klimaanlagen und auch nicht über ausreichende Lüftung im Bad so das es nach jeder Dusche heißer im Zimmer wurde. Es roch oft nicht so toll wenn wir von unseren längeren Ausflügen wieder kamen.

Adequate
Pros:

Pleasant room, central but quiet location. Reasonable choice for continental breakfast - if you can find a table.

Cons:

No aircon, no lift, breakfast room ridiculously small for the number of rooms.

Pros:

Lokatie en personeel was top. Prima ontbijt en schone kamer

Cons:

Het was buitenproportioneel heet op de kamer. Er stond een werkende ventilator, maar alsnog was het heel heet, terwijl hittegolf (buiten) al over was

Bir daha asla. Bu otel maksimum 2 yıldızlı olmalı.
Pros:

Sadece lokasyonu iyiydi.

Cons:

Asansör yok, esyalarınızı kendiniz taşıyorsunuz.
Klima yok, 4 yıldızlı görünen bir otelde klima olmaz mı?
Odalar temiz değil.
Çalışanlar yardımsever değil.
4 yıldızlı bir otel otel değil, maks 1-2 yıldız.

The room was terrible, 3rd floor, low ceiling, no lift, 2 fans to try and keep room cool, very old and worn carpet, window didn’t close, luckily it was only one night
