    vegetarian dishes
    food options
    poor service
    long wait
    confusing orders

    Repeated stays continue to disappoint with consistently poor service. Order requests, such as food and even basic items like water, often go unfulfilled or take hours, showcasing a lack of urgency. Room service staff display poor communication skills, as simple requests lead to confusion and delays. On a bright note, I did enjoy some vegetarian dishes during my stay, though the dining experience generally falls short of expectations.

    full english breakfast

    would definitely go again

    The room had air conditioning, a sofa, and a flat-screen TV. A nice minibar. I could relax in the fitness center, and the staff were super helpful when I needed assistance. The breakfast had a full English spread along with fresh pastries. The lobby was inviting with a cozy atmosphere and plenty of seating.

    ideal location
    cozy fitness center

    The location is perfect for exploring nearby attractions like the Science Museum, and the fitness center was a nice perk for keeping active during our stay.

    Felt so at home, no complaint.

    key issues

    I had a pleasant experience visiting iconic attractions nearby, which made our stay enjoyable. The atmosphere at the dining area was welcoming, and we found it great for sharing time over a meal. I appreciated the location and access to public transportation, which made getting around very easy. I am someone who enjoys exploring and this aspect truly enhanced my visit.

    The room had a few issues, like missing a nightstand and some maintenance problems. I also had trouble with the room key not working at times, causing a bit of inconvenience during my stay.

    clean room
    fridge convenience
    cozy garden
    slow check-in

    The room was clean and had a handy fridge, which made snacking easier during our stay. I loved the cozy seating area in the garden and the peaceful spot by the fountain that was perfect for unwinding. The check-in process could've been quicker, but I still had a good time overall, and I'd recommend it for a decent stay! 😊

    Oh mate, the French pastries at the buffet breakfast were a highlight! Pair that with a cozy bar and 24-hour reception that really had my back when I lost my ID, and you’ve got a solid stay.

    Now, the seating availability could use a little boost in the common areas, which sometimes felt a bit cramped—still, the place had its charm!
