The Log Cabin in Holborn by the Design Traveller

Poor
Traveller Type:
  : What I liked: the location was great, the snug little shed with double bed was cosy and comfortable.
  : What I didnt mind: the appt was kind of tiny, the kitchen was just a big closet but thats ok. We are in London after all. Fake plants and a totally impractical hammock, nothing to put away your belongings, the incredibly ugly artwork on the walls (for sale ;-)) What I didnt like: The smelly and shabby entrance and stairway of the building. Loud neighbors cooking their eclectic dinner in the middle of the night. The very ugly and poorly tilled bathroom, with crooked and broken tiles, not very hygienic (see pics). The appt being sold as a 3-person accommodation when the 3rd bed is in fact a sofa, not a sofa-bed but just a simple Ikea sofa with some linen draped over it, not intended to be slept on at all (see pics). I would not make a fuss about these things when the rate we paid was in sync with what was delivered. But we actually paid over 1500,- for just 3 nights, which makes this rate comparable to a really nice hotel like for instance the Hoxton. When I addressed my complaints to the proprietor, they did absolutely nothing with it. This is just another way for some blokes to make money and are not concerned with any guest experience. They claim to be designers, well thats a joke but you just have to decide that for yourself. They are certainly not professionals in the hospitality industry or decent builders, communication skills.no, not really. They make a nice website though, good in selling a great promise, but delivering? No, just a big disappointment. I will not ever book this place again or would recommend anyone to do so.

  : Loved the quirky shed bed! The living space was so cool. The couch was comfy too.
  : The floorboards were broken underneath the rug. We both hurt our feet at various points.
