Very Good
Traveller Type: Solo Traveler
  : Great location. Close to tube station. Stayed in the recently refurbished section of the hotel. Room and bathroom was clean and well presented. Room had air conditioning. Friendly concierge who was very helpful and accommodating.
  : Not the biggest of rooms, but ok for an overnight stay. Only complaint is that the sink in the bathroom was tiny and squashed between the wall and shower. Water kept over spilling when brushing teeth and washing face. No space in bathroom for putting out toiletries.

Fair

  : Location was excellent. We stayed in the newer renovated rooms so they looked new and fresh. Beds were comfortable.
  : The smell in the hallway was enough to make me gag. Had to hold breath to get in and out of room. So disgusting. They had an air freshener in the hallway but it only masked the stench. Bathroom floor was dirty upon arrival. In Canada we place garbage outside the hall for staff to take away. I did this and the manager came down and yelled at me and made me take the garbage back into my room. He was extremely angry about this. Then he called and said another guest made him come to our room and told me I had to take my garbage out to the street in the morning. There were no other guests in the hall and the rooms don't have eye-holes so the only way he saw it was me was to watch on the camera. Not that I care, I wasn't trying to be sneaky or do anything wrong but as a Canadian this is perfectly acceptable...I don't know the differences here and he could have been much more polite and understanding. Room was extremely small but I think that's pretty normal for hotels here from what I've been told.
