A Mixed Stay

convenient locationcoffee facilitiesshower issuesmissing shelf
The hotel is located conveniently. It is near the underground station and several museums. The room included tea and coffee facilities. Daily towel changes occurred and the room was tidied each day.
The shower had maintenance issues. I could not switch between the shower head and hand-held option. The bathroom lacked a shelf for toiletries, so I struggled with space. Access to the hotel involved a small flight of steps and no chairlift.

charming stay!

clean roomquiet locationworn mattress
I found the room quite clean! the air conditioning worked really well. the location was very convenient. It's near the tube station. i liked that my room faced the back, it was so quiet!
the mattress seemed a bit worn where the two beds meet! it would be nice to have a thicker topper. also, one of the side tables was missing. this felt a bit odd!?!
