Excellent Stay near Wandsworth Station

The room had a great shower room. It was clean. Opening the patio door dispersed a strong floral smell that was initially present. It improved the air quality. The staff were helpful. They addressed the issue promptly.
The mushroom served during breakfast was very small. It was the size of a coin.

i liked the hotel location, near the train station. the room was quiet, even though it was above a busy bar. it was easy to walk around, i found the location very convenient. breakfast was fantastic too.
The room seemed shockingly shabby. The tv was not working. the bathroom sink was blocked, and the bedside lamp lacked a light bulb. i have stayed here before, but standards seemed to have slipped, which i noticed.
