Good value, good location
Pros:

Close to Shepherds Bush, it is also on a main road so also close to bus routes (though the road isn’t audible from inside). Price was also reasonable and the room was spacious (two doubles with walking space to spare too)

Cons:

I had to hand over an ID document as a guarantee for the room key. Also the bathroom was a bit tatty

Pobyt był bardzo udany.
Pros:

Lokalizacja i personel super. Pokój był duży z łazienką. W pokoju, ręczniki, lodówka, czajnik i herbata, kubeczki. Wszystko, co jest potrzebne, aby rano i wieczorem po całym dniu zwiedzania spokojnie odpocząć i wyspać się. W okolicy dużo miejsc, w których można zjeść dobrze i nawet niedrogo jak na Londyn. Dojazd do miejsc, które odwiedzałyśmy mniej więcej od 25 do 50 min komunikacją. Kilkanaście minut pieszo do stacji metra.

Cons:

Niestety, mimo (zgodnie z radą obiektu) spuszczania wody pod prysznicem, woda była zimna. Ciepła była w umywalce, a pod prysznicem zimna. Nie był to duży problem w czasie upałów.
