Tutto ok. Staff eccellente
Pros:

Struttura rinnovata e accogliente. A 8 minuti dalla metro. Staff gentile

Cons:

Regole sul check-in da rispettare altrimenti ci sono delle penali. Quindi consiglio di valutarle prime. Hanno un piano sotto terra ma la stanza è più grande con angolo cottura, quindi se non sei claustrofobico va più che bene

Ottima posizione, pessima camera
Pros:

Ottima posizione vicino ad Hyde Park.
L’hotel era a 10 minuti a piedi dalla stazione di Paddington, ed era anche vicino a molte fermate del bus e della metropolitana.
La signora delle pulizie spagnola, di cui purtroppo non ricordo il nome, è stata super gentile con noi.
Grazie a lei, il punteggio è stato alzato di 3 punti!

Cons:

Avevamo prenotato la "Camera Matrimoniale" e purtroppo al momento del check-in abbiamo scoperto che non rispecchiava minimamente le foto viste su Booking.com.
La stanza è MOLTO più piccola di come sembra nelle foto, per non parlare del bagno in cui non entrano due persone contemporaneamente.
In particolare la doccia: decisamente grande la metà rispetto a quella delle fotografie. Abbiamo persino trovato dei peli sul piatto doccia e lo stesso piatto doccia si presentava con una crepa rattoppata con del silicone bianco.
Abbiamo richiesto al ragazzo della reception di poter soggiornare nella camera da noi prenotata, o almeno in una più pulita, ma non è stato per niente disponibile, dicendo di non avere stanze più grandi di quella a noi data.
Purtroppo per loro nei corridoi c’era una piantina dell’edificio, quindi abbiamo potuto confermare questa presa in giro.
Per il prezzo che ho pagato mi aspettavo qualcosa in più, almeno da parte del personale, quindi non lo consiglio.
