Bastante promedio el hotel para el costo. Nada relativamente especial. Hay mucha gente todo el tiempo los elevadores lentos y llenos. Además por guardar mi equipaje en lo que era la hora de mi vuelo me cobraron por maleta. El metro está accesible pero no tiene elevador por si llegas con maletas es complicado. Mejor la zona de Paddington.

Found it difficult to sleep due to a smell of smoke. The walls were paper thin, so we were able to hear a full conversation next door, which was not great at 2am! Plus the aircon made us feel sick, waking up in the morning, tired, ill and completely bunged up

There was no hand soap in the bathroom. Trod on a small shard of broken glass in the bathroom in the middle of the night cutting foot. Lobby toilets were unclean with toilet roll all over the floor and broken toilet seat. Not the type of stay expected from a four star hotel.

There was no obvious way to turn off the lights whilst lying in the bed. There is no soap by the hand basin to wash your hands after using the toilet, had to use the soap provided at the end of the bath guessing which poorly marked bottle might be body wash. The check staff were very friendly and the room was clean but very tired.
