2/5 Jacinthe B. 1 year ago on Google
I
will
start
with
something
positive:
the
hotel
is
very
well
located;
steps
away
from
drugstore,
grocery
store,
many
cafes
and
restaurants,
and
subway
station
(Holborn).
PROS:
free
(good)
coffee
(flat
white,
cappuccino,
americano,
tea,
etc.)
—
pretty
comfortable
bed
—
fairly
equipped
kitchen
to
cook
your
own
stuff
—
laundry
room
available
(£5
to
wash
and
£4
to
dry)—
location,
as
I
mentioned
before.
CONS:
there
is
only
room
service
once
a
week
(2
would
have
been
nice)
—
staff
is
not
super
friendly/helpful/nice
—
breakfast
(questionable
buffet)
costs
£12...
grab
your
free
coffee,
cross
the
street
and
buy
yourself
a
viennoiserie
at
Fabrique
or
go
to
Prêt
or
even
McDonald's!
—
judging
by
the
general
look
of
our
room,
the
rooms
would
need
a
little
update:
holes
in
the
walls,
broken
furniture,
mildew
in
the
bathroom,
etc.
—
the
water
pressure
is
horrible
when
you
take
a
shower
—
there
were
missing
towels
when
we
first
arrived
(had
no
bath
mat,
no
face
cloths
and
no
hand
towels).
Note
that
there
is
no
electrical
outlet
in
the
bathroom
(not
super
practical!).
On
the
other
hand,
the
hair
dryer
provided
by
the
hotel
works
really
well.
We
also
had
a
couple
of
issues
such
as:
1)
the
safe
stopped
working
after
a
couple
of
days
2)
the
tissues
weren't
refilled
when
the
maid
came
3)
we
asked
for
face
cloths
and
never
got
them
4)
the
maid
threw
away
our
hand
soap
without
replacing
it
(we
had
to
buy
some...!).
But
the
main
issue
was
the
fridge.
I
guess
we
were
just
unlucky,
but
the
fridge
had
a
VERY
bad
smell
(a
mix
of
mildew
and
old
cheese).
We
even
lost
many
items
of
food
(milk,
fruits,
soup
and
prepared
meals)
because
they
tasted
bad
or
went
bad.
Clearly
something
was
wrong
with
that
fridge!
We
mentionned
it
to
the
staff,
but
there
was
absolutely
NO
EMPATHY
on
their
end
and
no
offer
to
replace
our
food
items
whatsoever.
This
to
me
is
very
disappointing
since
we
lost
I
would
say
at
least
£25
of
food.
Overall,
mainly
because
of
the
location,
we
can
say
our
stay
was
okay.
But
if
you
are
the
type
of
person
who
likes
to
spend
time
in
their
hotel
room
when
on
vacation,
maybe
this
is
not
the
place
for
you.
Also,
for
the
price,
the
rooms
certainly
need
some
major
updates
or
adjustments.
