Having stayed once before in a room without a window I thiought I would upgrade to a room with window. Shouldn't have bothered. View of rooves and aircon units. I was also aware the rooms are small. However there is small and very small and overly cramped. Won't use Z again becasue of this. Staff great. Riooms too small

Area is pretty central, but still a good 15-30 minute walk to pretty much anything. Sheets were stained, room is small. For the price it is not bad. (Besides the stained sheets)

This hotel was a 30 minute walk so when we got off the train we walked and when we were going back home to the train we walked. This hotel is also a 10-15 minute walk from all the landmarks / sightseeing! We got to see all the landmarks in 1 day! There was bars and restaurants around our area, so it was still lively - but lovely and quiet. Our room was a lovely size, we couldn’t have asked for anything more! Absolutely loved the smell of the hotel when we walked in everytime. Staff were amazing and quick to checking us in and out - pizza was great too! Would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic location in the legal precinct code to everything - walk and/or tube/busses. Staff were great and responsive. Loved the cafe and the complimentary coffee and tea and daily wine and cheese if you are a member! Cafe food also good for light meals. Rooms aren’t big but perfect for me and I had a lovely view from my window. Room was very quiet. Great value for money. Had a maintenance issue in my room but was fixed quickly.

When we got back to the hotel, we were shocked to find our luggage had been moved to another room without permission. Even worse, my son’s bag—with his iPad and cellphone inside—was left behind in the room along with other people’s belongings.

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was construction outside of the property that included drilling & jackhammering. Not really the hotels fault, but what is there fault is that they put us in a basement room. So we had the privilege of listening to the jackhammers at all hours. Also, they clearly covered crumbling floors with rubber mats or something because the floor just dipped into a hole when you stepped on them. They apologized and offered us a free drink on the way out, but I would have preferred they were proactive in their hospitality approach.

This hotel is very centrally located. The rooms are very very small and it was not as clean as it should have been. I found a hair in one of my teacups and on the bathroom floor. Something in the corner of the room where the bed is totally set off my allergies. It made me wonder if the hotel allows pets and if they do they need to ask customers if they have allergies and have rooms for them where pets are NOT allowed. For a two night stay it was ok but probably wouldn’t stay there for longer.

Micro room, poor sleep

Just one problem - a leaking toilet meant the cistern was refilling every 2 minutes, all night. The rooms a micro rooms which the bathroom in the same room behind a glass wall so you can hear everything. Very little sleep. The staff offered me a coffee by way of apology the morning after.

Wall not fully fixed, had to move rooms

First room I was given had part of the wall that had been taped up and looked a bit of an eyesore, plus I didn’t feel safe given that there was a plug socket on it. They did give me a different room which was better, but it doesn’t look great when you enter a room only to find that it’s in the process of being repaired, delaying you being able to relax.

This review is absolutely no reflection on the staff as they genuinely did all they could to go above and beyond. However! Upon arriving there was no record of the booking and it took an hour to get sorted (again, staff brilliant as it was beyond their control). Had to get Expedia involved to eventually get booker in, only to end up with a room that we hadn’t booked. We had booked a room with a window but ended up in a room without one and one that apparently was warmer than the sun which lead to a distinct lack of sleep. You expect to get a room that you pay for. The one star is purely for the staff as they deserve some credit for trying to rectify such a shocking experience. I would have given the hotel a zero for everything else. I hope the staff on the desk are valued as they tried but unfortunately it won’t be somewhere we book again.
