Upon
arrival
you
can
see
the
level
of
cleanliness
and
a
‘posh’
vibe
of
the
Reception,
bar/lounge
area.
Check
in
did
not
take
long
at
all,
was
a
smooth
process,
and
we
were
handed
a
cookie
each
(free
food
is
always
a
bonus!).
Once
we
got
out
the
lift
to
the
floor
our
room
was
located
on,
we
felt
like
we
were
in
a
different
hotel.
The
two
seats
and
table
by
the
window
on
the
floor
by
the
lifts
was
covered
in
coffee,
and
wasn’t
pleasant.
However
we
didn’t
need
to
exactly
sit
there,
was
just
an
observation!
(Shame
some
guests
think
the
sun
shines
out
their
backside
enough
to
not
clean
up
their
mess
themselves
…).
We
eventually
found
our
room,
it
was
probably
the
longest
journey
from
lift
to
room
we’ve
ever
made.
There
was
a
large
space
near
our
room
which
looked
like
it
may
have
been
lifts
before
but
had
been
sealed
up
with
wall?
I
don’t
know,
but
it
was
definitely
a
space
that
would
be
perfect
for
a
lift
!
The
room
was
a
Queen
Room,
so
we
assumed
we
would
get
a
Queen
bed.
However
it
was
just
a
small
double.
This
was
a
little
disappointing,
but
maybe
I
should’ve
checked
the
features
of
the
room
before
booking.
The
bathroom
had
no
bath,
just
a
shower
which
was
a
decent
size.
Shower
pressure
was
lovely
,
not
the
best
we’ve
had
but
was
nothing
to
complain
about.
The
sink
and
shower
took
ages
to
drain,
it
almost
flooded
the
bathroom
before
it
decided
to
drain.
And
we
made
sure
there
was
nothing
blocking
it
such
as
the
plug
not
being
the
wrong
way
round
etc.
Bed
was
firm
but
comfy,
however
the
pillows
definitely
need
to
be
slightly
firmer
as
it
felt
like
there
was
no
pillow
once
your
head
was
on
it,
and
that’s
as
with
2!
(although
I
know
science
says
to
sleep
without
a
pillow
so
maybe
this
is
there
reasoning).
View
from
the
room
wasn’t
great,
but
could
see
the
shard
from
our
window.
Carpet,
furniture
etc
was
very
outdated
compared
to
the
modern,
posh
looking
decor
and
flooring
downstairs
in
the
lobby.
Staff
are
all
friendly,
wearing
masks.
You
are
told
to
tell
reception
if
you
need
your
room
cleaned
or
anything
like
towels
and
bed
made,
otherwise
no
one
enters
your
room
-
we
felt
this
was
refreshing
and
liked
this
idea!
However,
we
were
not
told
that
you
have
to
let
reception
know
by
midday.
This
is
a
good
time
for
sure,
but
as
we
weren’t
told
we
were
6
minutes
too
late
on
one
of
the
days
and
so
our
room
wasn’t
cleaned.
We
felt
6
minutes
was
a
little
harsh
but
we
didn’t
complain
at
the
time
as
it
isn’t
Receptions
fault.
The
hotel
is
literally
a
2
minute
(if
that!)
walk
to
the
Tower
Bridge
underground
station,
this
was
a
plus!
So
easy
for
us
to
get
around
London,
we
went
all
the
way
to
Kingston
Upon
Thames
on
one
of
the
days,
super
easy
to
get
around!
Would
stay
again!
