Pros:

Very nice shower, bathroom, large bed. Nicely decorated room throughout. Clean sheets and towels. Located close to the event we were attending.

Cons:

Overlooking a noisy road, without much soundproofing. Aircon was noisy, had to turn it off. Wasn't so obvious how "reception" works but finally figured it out.

Charming old pub with a great vibe but with some of the issues that come with old buildings like temperamental plumbing

Pros:

War alles soweit in Ordnung. Personal sehr nett, zentrale Lage, überall Bushaltestellen und U Bahn Station in der Nähe. Direkt gegenüber Fahrrad Verleih. Das Zimmer war soweit ok. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt. Ich glaub viel mehr kann man für den Preis mitten in London nicht erwarten.

Zentral gelegene, saubere Unterkunft
Pros:

Die Lage der Unterkunft ist sehr zentral. Das Zimmer war sehr sauber. Es gab einen Minikühlschrank und eine Espressomaschine.

Cons:

Durch die Lage an einer Hauptverkehrskreuzung war es sehr laut. Das Haus ist überhaupt nicht isoliert, es war kalt im Zimmer.

Muy buena relación calidad precio
Pros:

Teniendo en cuenta los precios de Londres, la relación calidad-precio era muy buena. Muy cómodo y limpio para lo que suele haber en hoteles en Inglaterra. La situación no era la mas céntrica, pero en 20min andando estabas en el Big Ben y la Abadía de Westminster. Además, el hotel está anexo a un restaurante en el que por ser huéspedes, hacen un descuento del 30-40% en las comidas y cenas

Behageligt ophold
Pros:

Dejligt lyst og lækkert værelse med stor, behagelig seng, og en hel balsal af et badeværelse. Upåklagelig rengøring og skønt linned. Et plus var også nespresso på værelset. Ikke mulighed for morgenmad, men man er hurtigt i byen. Tæt på metro, bus etc. og beliggende ovenpå en hyggelig pub, hvor man også kan spise om aftenen. Vi bestilte mad en enkelt dag og det smagte dejligt. Gæster får rabat på mad.

Cons:

Lidt forventelig støj fra gaden, mens vi intet hørte til pubben, trods stand up arrangementer flere aftener om ugen.

Stylish boutique hotel
Pros:

Stylish and lovely details such as the artwork and the tea bags and milk in the fridge.

Cons:

You will need ear plugs. I could hear the extractor all night. Not a great sleep. The carpet although clean was a bit threadbare. A nice rug by the bed would help.

Clean but ‘worn out’
Pros:

Location is very good, 5 min from Kennigton station, easy to travel to the centre
Comfortable bed

Cons:

The hotel states boutique…but it is not. It is clean but kind of ‘worn out’.
Our room also hada shower in the room as there was not a separate room for a bathroom. Even if you are with your friends, this is strange.
