The location was great. The room itself was not as excellent. The climate control was difficult to manage, and the room was either too hot or too cold! I also noticed some wear and tear on the furniture. The bathroom was clean, though the shower pressure was weak.

dirty bathroom
The bathroom was not cleaned to an acceptable standard. I found hairs on the shower walls. The bedroom was also quite small. There was very little space to move around the bed.

i found the location excellent. it was very close to trafalgar square. i also appreciated how close it was to the tube station. the room was quiet even though it was in a central spot.
