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

Pratique et cozy mais lit pas du tout confortable
Pros:

Bien située, cozy et pratique, pour quelques jours solo c'est franchement correct

Cons:

Le matelas du lit, les ressort ressortaient, le confort est vraiment à revoir et de l'équipement est à renouveler

Gute Lage für einen kurzen Aufenthalt!
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt relativ zentral und gut in London. Das Zimmer hat seinen Zweck erfüllt, wir wollten uns nicht lange darin aufhalten. Die Betten waren recht bequem.

Cons:

Das Zimmer war klein und hat unangenehm gerochen. Wenn man das Fenster geöffnet hatte, war es besser, aber da das Zimmer zur Straße hin lag, war es dann sehr laut. Im Bad war die Duschtür und die Haken kaputt. Das Frühstück war ok, aber gegenüber gab es ein Café, da hätte man auch hingehen können. Die Angestellten haben offensichtlich wenig Spaß an ihrer Arbeit und haben ihren Job eben erfüllt.
Gut, es ist London, aber das könnte man schon ein bisschen besser machen.
