Cons:

سعر الافطار غالي وليس بالمستوى المأمول وخياراتهم في المنيو قليله
كما ان نظام تنظيف الغرف هو لمره واحد في اليوم ولو احتجت لتنظيف شيءٍ طارئ يرفض مشرف النظافه ذلك

Een absolute aanrader voor een trip naar Londen
Pros:

De ligging was prachtig, recht tegenover Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens. De Underground is op enkele minuutjes wandelen en er zijn tal van gezellige en heerlijke restaurantjes in de buurt. Het ontbijt was goed en het personeel was enorm behulpzaam en vriendelijk.

Cons:

De airco was moeilijk in te stellen en relatief luid. (Net zoals alles in Londen is het hotel een beetje prijzig, al valt het enorm mee om op de rand van Zone 1 naar 2 te zitten.)

Rauhallinen perushotelli hyvällä palvelulla keskeisellä sijainnilla.
Pros:

Aamupala oli kattava ja hyvä. Vaihtelua olisi voinut olla hieman, sillä neljänä aamuna lähes täysin sama aamiainen ei enää niin maistu. Esim. lämpimälle puolelle olisi voinut lisätä kasvisvaihtoehtoja näkyville ilman, että niitä tulee pyytää erikseen.

Hotelli oli sijainnistaan huolimatta todella hiljainen.

Cons:

Huone oli perus siisti, varsinkin kylpyhuone, mutta varsinaisen huoneen matto kaipaa kyllä jo vaihtamista.

Raport qualité prix OK pour Londres

Cons:

L’isolation n’est pas idéale
