This hotel offers good value for money in terms of location. It's comfortable and clean.
Pros:

The hotel was in a fantastic location. The exterior and the neighborhood had beautiful English architecture. The hygiene, comfort, and electronic assistance system in the rooms were good. It was a 5-6 minute walk from transportation hubs like the Circle Line, District Line, and Piccadilly Line. It was also very close to Victoria Albert, the National History Museum, Hyde Park, and the Royal Albert Hall. Various supermarkets, fast food chains, nice restaurants and cafes are located very close to the property.

Cons:

The lack of a refrigerator, the fact that the window opens completely, the narrow bathroom, and the non-adjustable shower head are negative features.

Konum-temizlik-güvenlik olarak çok iyi
Pros:

Konum olarak çok iyi bir yerdeydi, 2 metro istasyonuna çok yakındı ve güvenliydi. Oda Lower ground olmasına rağmen aydınlıktı ve havasız değildi. Yatak başında type A ve type C şarj girişleri vardı, dönüştürücü almadan telefon şarjı imkanı sağladı. Duş/tuvalet suyla ilgili hiçbir sorun yaşamadık. Odada ütü ve ütü masası da bulunuyordu. Odada nespresso makine ve kapsül kahve olması güzeldi. Vantilatör ve ısıtıcı bulunması da değişken hava şartlarına karşın iyi düşünülmüştü.

Cons:

Beğenmediğimiz bir konu olmadı.

This Hotel always works for me!
Pros:

Clean, quiet location, rooms well appointed beds are comfortable. Lots of electrical outlets. It’s a great place. I’ve stayed many times now.

Cons:

No actual person on site. I do think one person should be there in case of an emergency. I guess I’m old school. I like the personal touch but they are accessible in a timely manner by WhatsApp so maybe it just takes getting used to.
