Pros. Nothing

Cons. Bed was tiny my legs hang over edge Room was small for a family room Hotel had no atmosphere Buffet breakfast was terrible

9.4Wonderful
Anonymous, Oct 2016

Pros. Great location, helpful and friendly staff. The room was very modern and pleasant. The pillows were real feathers! (This may seem strange to note, but is a big deal to a frequent business traveler.) I was able to easily print something that I needed from the business center. The breakfast included in the room was extensive and delicious.

Cons. The room was cold, and it seemed that only air conditioning (not heat) was available. The internet is unstable, which made trying to work from the hotel room a challenge. There was literally a *single* outlet in my room.This meant that I couldn't properly charge my phone and laptop because of this limitation. The outlet is at the desk only, so I couldn't charge my phone overnight (as I need the alarm near me to wake up.)

Pros. It's a very good location, good wifi and a washer and dryer available to do laundry (great perk)

Cons. Rooms are kinda small some rooms have shared bathrooms

9.1Wonderful
Thomas, Jan 2015

Pros. Modern clean rooms. Safe area of the city. Across street from main office of City tour Busses. Victoria and Albert Pier is center of tourism.

Cons. Archaic Wi-Fi system, requiring new username daily and with each log on. It does not remember you. Also, there is no CNN or BBC. Only SkyNews. OK if your British and want to keep up on parliament and London issues only.
