Single rooms like a closet and NEVER have a nice view
Pros:

Location

Cons:

One of the smallest single rooms I have ever had. Said it was a classic single- not sure what was classic. If you’re on the heavier side you’ll have problems getting in and out of the shower & loo. No shelf in the bathroom had to put things on the floor

I would stay at the Bailey next time. I enjoyed my stay very much.
Pros:

Excellent Location, excellent staff who are helpful. Breakfast was very good.
The bar has a friendly safe atmosphere. I felt very safe at the hotel. Taxi rank, station and shops and restaurants at the front door.

Cons:

The aircon didn’t work. In a heatwave this made the evenings difficult.

Pros:

Very comfortable, quiet room in a great location. Very friendly and responsive staff who clearly worked hard to meet the needs of their guests (hotel and restaurant). Steps away from the underground, variety of food, a market, and Boots all in the neighborhood so convenience.

Cons:

I made the mistake of visiting during a major heatwave so, try as it might, the room AC could not keep up with it. Beyond the hotel's control, but it would be worth upgrading the system. I was also surprised that there wasn't a business center (thankfully, my smartphone got me through the week).

Very uncomfortable room.
Pros:

Location was great. Hotel was beautiful. Staff was excellent.

Cons:

We were put in the tiniest room that didn’t have a dresser or anywhere to put our luggage. The bed was against the wall and was impossible for a 67 year old woman and a 77 year old man to get in and out of. There was a desk chair and nothing else to sit on . We paid the same amount as the friends we were traveling with and they were given an upgrade at the hotel to a huge room compared to ours.

Super bra lokalisasjon og fine rom
Pros:

Synes at oppholdet var fint- fint rom, relativt rent og hyggelig betjening.

Cons:

Det var noe lytt ut mot gangen, og du kunne høre når noen gikk forbi eller forlot naborommet, da det smalt relativt hardt.
