Positives:
- Modern hotel with beautiful/classic decor
- Still feels very much new, I.e very soft carpets, everything in excellent condition
- Polite staff
- Less than 5 min walk to closest Tube station, which connects to Piccadilly Line
- Good check out time
- Beautiful garden with nice seating
Areas of Improvement:
- The rooms are not quiet at all. We could easily hear people shouting, even sneezing from the street throughout the night. A couple in the room next to us were on FaceTime to a family member and we could hear every single word both they and the family member said. This may not have mattered that much if it wasn’t very early in the morning and we needed sleep.
- There are no black out curtains, which means in summer in the UK the light starts to shine through from 4 am, which can make it hard to sleep.
- Aircon whilst on, is very hard to use (for 26 year old who travels to many places). This meant it was very hot throughout the night.
- The area the hotel is situated in, isn’t the best and I wouldn’t feel safe walking here alone.
- Small matter of preference…. But the bar could do with serving more of a variety of drinks. Cocktail list doesn’t have any classic cocktails and are quite obscure choices. We wanted to have a nice drink before we left but ended up having a Coke because the menu was pretty poor.
