Struttura molto carina in una posizione comoda ma da scegliere solo nella stagione fredda.
Pros:

struttura nel complesso bella, pulizia adeguata, camere piccole ma ben organizzate.

Cons:

non c'è l'aria condizionata e le camere singole sono tutte all ultimo piano con effetto mansarda. Danno in dotazione un ventilatore che ti fa sopravvivere in qualche modo di notte ma di giorno è impossibile stare in camera a meno che nn si sia sotto la doccia

Referred by a coworker, and turned out excellent.
Pros:

A bit off the beaten track, but being on a quiet street is a huge plus. Clean accommodation in a unique partnership situation with the college.

Pas d'ascenceur
Alarme incendie qui s'est déclanchée en pleine nuit
Très cher.
PDJ très bien et dans un cadre privilégié: collège

Completely unprepared for today’s standards
Pros:

The location

Cons:

The complete lack of methods to cool off the room, I understand we were in the middle of a heatwave, but we were only given a small fan to cope with the heat, for a room that is fully carpeted, with heavy current and with no airflow whatsoever. For 200 pounds per night this feels like a joke.

London city trip
Pros:

Good location for wandering around in London. Either on foot or by public transport. Nice, clean hotel with friendly people. For breakfast you have access across the street into a "Harry Potter" style hall. Very unique.

We loved the hotel. Thank you!
Pros:

The location was very good and there is a very beautiful garden.

Cons:

Next time I'll check in advance the size of the double bed in the room as it was not exactly double.
