On first impressions this hotel looks impressive. The location is good on a quiet street, with two tube stations within a 5 min walk. The staff are very freindly and helpful.
Unfortunately the decore needs looking at. From a distance it looks fine but upon closer inspection there are a few areas that need tidying up. In my room there was what looks like mold on the wall beteen the twin beds. An air vent in the ceiling was missing so I could see shoddy plaster work and a big hole. The lights above the wardrobe were broken making it very dark when finding clothes. The curtains needs to be washed as they had marks and stains on them.
The room I was given initially had broken aircon and was unbearably hot. I asked for a room change and was shown another room which I was happy with, but when I gathered my bags I was then told the room had been given to somebody else, this made me slightly angry as it was 8.30pm and I wanted to relax. I then had to sit in reception for 20 mins and was eventually shown two more rooms. One was a double, no good as I'd booked a single, the other room wasn't to the same standard as I was expecting. Eventually they put me in the first room they had shown me, this was fine and had working aircon.
I would have stayed here again, but after these issues I would choose somewhere else to stay.
