Pros:

Erinomainen sijainti, hotellilta on lyhyt kävelymatka mm. Big Benille ja Thames-joen rantaan sekä metroasema ihan vieressä. Todella siisti ja viihtyisä hotelli, hyvänkokoinen huone ja mukava sänky. 12-vuotiaalle sohvasänky toimi myös hyvin. Monipuolinen, hyvä aamiainen. Aamiaishuone oli kivan rauhallinen, ei liian suuri ja hälyisä kuten joskus hotelleissa.

Pros:

Läget

Cons:

Stökigt på frukosten. Om de tänker till med placeringen skulle de minska mycket spring. Tex borde bröd och pastries byta plats vilket skapat ett bättre flyt.
