Muy buena experiencia
Pros:

La comodidad de las camas, las almohadas, las infusiones, cafés, tazas y calentador de agua, que haya plancha y secador, la ducha... el wc separado... El desayuno bastante bien. La ubicación es muy práctica, por la estación de Stratford pasan muchas líneas de metro. También hay buses que pasan por la puerta del hotel.

Cons:

Para 3 personas el tamaño de la habitación se queda muy justo... el armario es minúsculo,.si te quedas varios días falta espacio para colocar las cosas.
