Camera grande
Pros:

Mi è piaciuta la stanza grande e pulita con 5 letti comodi. La stanza era al piano meno uno. Il bagno con doccia e asciugacapelli grande e pulito. Ottima colazione con brioche latte yogurt marmellata uova e succhi compresa nel prezzo. Buona posizione a 10 Minuti a piedi dalla fermata notthing Hill gate e da Portobello Road. Quartiere sicuro e tranquillo

Small, clean and well situated accommodation that might need a bit of refreshment.
Pros:

Location is great, close to the tube station and neighborhood is very quiet. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The facility is very clean. WiFi and Internet access was well functioning.

Cons:

The shower installed above the head only, was an issue since it was very difficult to adjust the water temperature. The bathroom needs the renovation. There is no lift so using the stairs with the hands full of luggage is an issue,

Decepcion con el personal
Pros:

La ubicacion del hotel

Cons:

La calidad del desayuno es muy baja en todos los productos, la bolleria hecha de baja calidad y llevar toda la semana alli, no tienen cafe descafeinado, preguntamos y nos dijeron que lo pondrian al dia siguiente, pero como suponiamos no fue asi, los empleados tienen una dejadez de ayudarte bastante visible, segun uno de ellos deberia haber enviado un email comunicando que queriamos cafe descafeinado. He estado en todos los continentes y en muchos hoteles, tanto de placer, como de trabajo y no he visto ni esta situacion ni esta actitud, de dar largas y tomarte el pelo, sin buscar ninguna manera de solucionarlo, y tratarte de persona que da problemas.

Pros:

Quaint hotel in great location, short walk from the tube. Comfortable bed, good sized room

Cons:

Our room in the basement got very hot.
When we arrived I thought the noise of the tubes (which you can hear very clearly) would be an issue, but it wasn't really as they didn't run through the night

Pros:

Helyi viszonylatban közel vannak a tömegközlekedési pontok.
Tiszta szobák, rendkívül segítőkész személyzet.
A megadott időpont előtt is be lehetett jelentkezni és lehetett euróban is fizetni.

Cons:

Talán a fürdő mérete enyhén alulméretezett.

Tranquillità nel cuore di Londra
Pros:

La posizione è fantastica: un quartiere residenziale tranquillo e vicinissimo a Portobello Market e in 5 minuti a piedi si è alla fermata Underground di Notting Hill! Il rapporto qualità prezzo è ottimo.

Cons:

Solo il divano letto della camera familiare che era un po’ scomodo, soprattutto per figli adulti.

Alváshoz megfelelő volt.
Pros:

Központban volt.

Cons:

A reggeli nagyon nem tetszett, angol reggelit hiányoltam. Meleg étel egyáltalán nem volt. Felújítás ráférne a fürdőre.
