Unclear
how
this
place
has
so
many
good
ratings.
I
absolutely
regret
staying
here.
There
are
much
better
values
in
London.
Room
is
exceptionally
tiny,
even
by
London
standards.
One
not-very-tall
person
could
easily
stretchacross
the
entire
width
of
the
room.
The
"desk"
is
actually
just
a
cramped
shelf,
barely
large
enough
to
hold
a
laptop,
and
the
kettle
(which
can
not
be
moved)
is
located
on
a
shelf
above
it.
The
chair
for
the
desk
can't
be
moved
back
from
the
desk
because
it
only
has
about
eight
inches
of
clearance
before
it
hits
the
bed.
If
you
sit
in
the
chair,
you
will
be
pressed
directly
against
the
desk
and
have
no
room
to
move.
I
found
it
necessary
to
remove
the
chair
and
use
it
as
a
coat
rack
instead
and
work
by
sitting
on
the
bed
without
any
back
support.
The
closet/wardrobe
is
in
a
corner
behind
the
desk
and
very
inconvenient
to
access.
But
if
you
use
the
chair
as
a
coat
rack,
then
at
least
you
won't
need
to
get
back
there
for
your
coat.
Beds
were
acceptable,
though
on
the
short
side.
Linens
were
European
standard
(bottom
sheet
and
comforter
only)
and
neatly
made
each
day.
There's
no
temperature
control
within
the
room
except
for
a
plugin
fan
stored
on
top
of
the
closet.
The
hairdryer
is
attached
to
the
wall
in
the
main
bedroom
area,
not
the
bathroom.
The
bathroom
is
even
tinier,
with
a
semi-round
glass
shower
enclosure
that
barely
has
enough
room
to
stand
up
straight.
The
amenities
were
spartan.
Combined
hair
and
body
wash
and
conditioner
in
pump
bottles
in
the
bathroom
(the
pumps
had
to
be
manually
pulled
upwards
to
get
them
to
pump),
and
hand
wash
over
the
sink.
A
kettle
is
provided
with
Nestlé
instant
coffee
(regular
and
decaf)
and
the
worst
tea
bags
I've
ever
encountered.
In
London
of
all
places!
There
is
nothing
even
resembling
a
lobby.
The
stairwell/hallway
is
just
as
cramped
as
everywhere
else,
and
there's
no
noise
isolation
to
speak
of,
so
you
will
hear
everyone
coming
at
going
at
whatever
hours.
And
if
you're
in
the
front
rooms,
you'll
also
hear
every
car
that
drives
by
(it's
a
busy
and
quite
noisy
road)
and
several
of
the
people
in
the
street,
as
well.
There's
very
little
within
walking
distance
(but
do
visit
the
Turkish
restaurant
two
blocks
west,
as
they
really
deserve
their
4.9
star
rating).
Practically
every
route
into
London
will
involve
a
bus,
a
taxi,
or
a
20-minute
walk.
The
only
bright
spot
in
this
miserable
hotel
is
the
cleaning
staff,
who
keep
the
rooms
spotless.
