Niet voldoende voor een volgende keer.
Pros:

De locatie was perfect!
Het ontbijt super slecht, dit kan echt veel en veel beter voor die prijs van een overnachting

Cons:

Dat ze geen rekening houden met je leeftijd en dan de hoogte van de etages
Oudere mensen kunnen niet makkelijk 63 treden omhoog en voor het ontbijt weer eens 19 naar de kelder

Gute Lage aber ansonsten naja....
Pros:

Die Lage

Cons:

Zimmer sind eine Katastrophe. (Zumindest unseres!) Man kann nicht umfallen, denn dazu gäbe es gar keinen Platz! Betten viel zu weich und zu schmal!
Zimmer sehr abgewohnt und renovierungsbedürftig!

posizione strategica. staff gentile
Pros:

ottima la posizione e il servizio wi-fi , buona la colazione ,ma con poca scelta. letti comodi.

Cons:

molte scale senza ascensore, bagno davvero troppo piccolo. nessun condizionatore in stanza. ci vorrebbe poco per guadagnare qualche punto in più.

Miły hotel w dobrym miejscu.
Pros:

Bardzo dobra lokalizacja, bardzo miły pomocny personel, pokój superior z dużym oknem i widokiem na taras i Norfolk Square. Pokó i łazienkaj małe, ale typowe dla Londynu. Bardzo czysto i pokoje codziennie sprzątane. Śniadanie skromne, ale świeże. Arbuz na śniadanie i świeże pachnące gofry.

Cons:

Brak windy, śniadania mogłyby być wydawane trochę dłużej. Hałas przejeżdżającego pod ziemią metra.
