Pros:

Sehr gute Lage in der Nähe der U-Bahn-Station Holborn (Piccadilliy Line vom Flughafen Heathrow). Kings Cross, British Museum, Covent Garden und Soho gut zu Fuß erreichbar.
Gutes englisches Frühstück. Bequeme Matratzen.

Cons:

Zimmer hatte gar keine Aussicht (man guckt direkt auf eine Mauer, auf der Fensterbank von außen alte Mundschutzmasken), dafür war es verhältnismäßig teuer... Keine Klobürste.
Bar mit nettem Personal, aber sehr ungemütlich eingerichtet.

Pros:

lokacija , madraci su bili udobni , madraci su bili relativno udobni kao i jastuci što je i najbitnije za svakoga gosta koji dolaze na kratko uz kupaonicu

Cons:

prosječno , mali izbor voća , jaja vrlo nekvalitetna, suha , soba je vrlo "aged" , sve je dosta staro i vijek trajanja je odavno prošao
Kreveti su na kotačima kao neki pomoćni i stalno se miču , kupaonica je bila mala kao i soba
