It was ok, nothing special, it was a birthday weekend and I’m afraid the hotel wasn’t up to much and definitely wouldn’t
Pros:

Staff were friendly and welcoming.
However, didn’t return my earrings that were on the sink.

Cons:

Room was advertised as a deluxe room, it was small, breakfast wasn’t extensive to cater for gluten free.
The towels or bed weren’t changed for our second night and the tea and coffee wasn’t replaced.

Great hotel, would stay again.
Pros:

Nice location, 10-15 min walk from Victoria Underground Station. Modern decor, spacious triple room. Staff friendly.

Cons:

Cleanliness could be better in the room, dusty in places. Could do with more hangers for clothes storage. No lift in hotel but wasn’t an issue for us with a backpack.

Bardzo udany pobyt!
Pros:

Bardzo udany pobyt! Największym atutem hotelu jest zdecydowanie obsługa – niezwykle miła, pomocna i życzliwa, dzięki czemu od początku czuliśmy się bardzo dobrze zaopiekowani. Hotel jest czysty, schludny i zadbany, a lokalizacja bardzo dobra. Duży plus za bardzo korzystną cenę w stosunku do jakości. Super udogodnieniem było również bezpłatne przechowywanie bagażu zarówno przed zameldowaniem, jak i po wymeldowaniu. Zdecydowanie polecam!

Cons:

Nie ma takiej rzeczy która by mi się nie podobała.

Небольшой номер в классическом отеле и хорошем районе.
Pros:

Хорошее расположение, классический интерьер, вежливый персонал, наличие чайника, хороший душ, адекватная цена.

Cons:

Очень маленький номер на 4 этаже - только для стройных и спортивных. Ночью довольно жарко. Кондиционер работал хорошо, но с ним есть риск простудиться. В целом без разочарований, учитывая цены в Лондоне.
