Pros:

Az elhelyezkedés csodálatos, csak ezért éri meg itt megszállni.

Cons:

A szoba hihetetlenül kicsi. Sajnos elfogadható árért London közepén nincs más, ezért nincs ok panaszra.

amazing would stay again.
Pros:

the room was lovely, a little small but good enough for us. the Bathroom was beautiful and the room was clean and fresh. Hotel was close to everything we needed. Considering the local, we had not issues with noise. Staff were really friendly and helpful.

Cons:

The room did not have air con, so the hotel gave us 2 electric fans. Which was nice, but it circulated hot air and took up table space.

Ce lieu a beaucoup de potentiel, un petit coup de frais lui ferait tant de bien
Pros:

L’accueil était chaleureux et la localisation était top. Rue calme entourée d’universités et avec un superbe magasin de livres en face, tout à proximité

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner ne ressemblait pas à la photo, il était plus « simple » dira-t-on. La literie était complètement morte, je pouvais compter littéralement le nombre de ressorts du matelas. Et la salle de bain doit subir un profond rafraîchissement (ajouter une évacuation d’air humide qui est inexistante et réparer la douche dont le mécanisme des portes est cassé et donc elle ne ferme quasi pas). Un bonus pour les années futur (avec le réchauffement climatique) serait d’ajouter une clim car dans les toits, il faisait bien chaud malgré les ventilateurs mis à dispositions

Für unseren Kurzaufenthalt hat alles gepasst.
Pros:

Die Zimmer waren schön und geräumig. Die Hotelführung war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.

Cons:

Die Beleuchtung im Zimmer war sehr gering. Mehr Stauraum für die Kleidung wäre gut.
