Für 4 Nächte hat es gereicht.
Pros:

Das Personal an der Rezeption war hilfsbereit und freundlich. Die Betten waren bequem.

Cons:

Der Zustand des Hotels ist nicht der Beste. Es schreit nach Renovieren!! Das Bad aus den frühen 70er Jahren und im gesamten Hotel alter Teppiche. Wir waren im 4 Stock untergebracht und konnten die U-Bahn spüren und hören. Das Frühstück war sehr minimalistisch und die Sitzgelegenheit im Saal sehr unbequem.

Perfecte locatie maar beetje vergane glorie
Pros:

Top locatie gelijk aan het Hyde Park en de metro op zeer korte wandelafstand. Groene en mooie omgeving.

Cons:

Hotel was erg gedateerd, beetje vergane glorie. Alles wel redelijk schoon maar oud. Bedden wel prima. Verder weinig faciliteiten. Prijzig voor het gebodene. Ontbijt prima maar karig. Personeel vriendelijk maar niet erg enthousiast.

Boogie French style hotel
Pros:

Staff are so friendly especially the manager, she let me borrow her tote bag for the night which I really needed for a party. Breakfast was yummy but had no halal option.

Cons:

Wasn't much to not like about. The bathroom tap just needs to come on before you jump in to let me get to right temperature.

Pros:

La atención del personal muy buena y la ubicación para conocer Londres.

Cons:

La infraestructura del hotel se tendría que remodelar tanto por dentro como por fuera. Es muy vintage pero habría que modernizarlo.

Pros:

Der ganze Flair des Hotels. Es war sehr sauber.

Cons:

Die Bäder waren auch sauber, aber könnten eine kleine Renovierung vertragen.
