Bom custo benefício em Londres
Pros:

As instalações são agradáveis pelo preço pago, pequeno almoço gratuito e empregados prestativos.
Localização excelente em questão de transporte público, estando bem próximo do Dlr e estação de metrô do Bow road.

Cons:

A casa de banho precisa de mais cuidado em relação a mofo.
Região consideravelmente mais perigosa, é importante andar atento pelas ruas.

Pros:

El personal es muy amable y una de las personas que nos atendió, habla español, incluso un poco de catalán. Aunque las instalaciones necesitan una buena revisión, el precio es económico y está muy cerca del transporte público. Se puede utilizar la cocina para desayuno y cena. Es de agradecer.

Cons:

Las instalaciones necesitan una buena revisión.

Das einzig Positive war die Lage
Cons:

- Zimmer war „abgewohnt“ und nur mäßig sauber
- es gab keinen Schrank im Zimmer, 8 Nächte leben aus dem Koffer
- Frühstück musste man sich selber machen in einer Küche wo die Sauberkeit eher an letzter Stelle steht

Buena estancia en Bow Road
Pros:

Bien ubicado (vía metro y bus), el desayuno estaba bien (cereales, tostadas, fruta, galletas, huevos) y el personal era muy agradable. La habitación tenía lo necesario para pasar unos días y estaba limpio. Tiene varias paradas de metro y bus cerca, supermercados, y pubs.

Cons:

La cama un poco dura, pero por lo demás bien. La cocina se puede utilizar durante la mañana pero no cocinar durante la noche, estaría bien si se pudiera cocinar para la cena, no obstante, está disponible para cenar y calentar en el Micro durante la tarde-noche.
