Ein wunderbarer Aufenthalt in einer wunderschönen Stadt
Pros:

Die Zimmer waren sauber, das Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und das Frühstück lecker. Die Betten waren bequem und die Lage für Besichtigungen hervorragend. Auch der Pool und die Sauna sind empfehlenswert, gerade wenn man tagsüber viel gelaufen ist. Ein wunderschönes Hotel , wir kommen gerne wieder.

Cons:

Der Wasserdruck in den Duschen.

Sehr schönes Hotel, gute Preis-Leistung, super Lage!
Pros:

Die Unterkunft lag gut zentral. Wir konnten von hier in 10 min zum London Eye/zur Themse laufen. U-Bahn Station in Richtung Westminster 2 min entfernt, in Richtung Notting Hill ( Blackfriars) 10 min zu Fuß. Das Frühstück war sehr gutes kontinentales Frühstück und ließ keine Wünsche offen. Das Zimmer war für 3 Personen völlig ausreichend, das Bad schön groß, modern und geräumig mit ebenerdiger Dusche - Rituals Pflegeprodukte 👍🏼! Das Personal war sehr freundlich, auch die Bar/Restaurant (MAM) kann man empfehlen. Wir haben das Schwimmbad für eine kleine Auszeit mal vormittags genutzt mit angeschlossener Trockensauna. Wir waren allein zu der Zeit.

Cons:

Empfehlung ist eindeutig zu Zeiten, in denen das Hotel stark besucht ist, nicht zu spät zum Frühstück zu gehen - 8 Uhr war eine gute Zeit. Ansonsten heißt es leider anstehen und auf einen freien Tisch warten.

Fint nok hotel, men ikke et jeg ville benytte igen.
Pros:

God mad. Hyggelig restaurant. Ligger godt ift Underground.
OBS på glasvægge fra værelset ind til bruseren på badeværelset (havde mine to 20-årige drenge med, som havde det lidt stramt med glasvæggen i deres mors samvær 😊).

Cons:

Lidt kold swimminpool-kunne måske også godt have tænkt mig slots-tider uden børn.
Manglende opfyldning af håndklæder, når de tog de beskidte med.
Vægge ved toilettet manglede en god omgang rengøring.

Pros:

Pool and saunarium are great

Cons:

Breakfast hall too crowded we were put on high table which me and my 9 year old daughter struggled to get on and off anyway and there was no space for guests to pass by but they kept trying to anyway and either knocked my stall spinning it wrong way or seemed angry at me for being in way

Pros:

Wir hatten einen schönen Aufenthalt und im Hotel einen guten Ausgleich zu den längeren touristischen Ausflügen. Pool kann nur für einen bestimmten Zeitraum pro Tag gebucht werden. Sorgt aber dafür, dass der Pool nicht zu voll ist. Ausreichend Handtücher im Poolbereich und auf den Zimmern.

Cons:

Ein paar Dinge auf dem Zimmer funktionieren nicht, z. B Föhn. Es wurde Ersatz gebracht, wenn es möglich war.
