The staff prepared my room ahead of schedule upon my request. i needed to check in early to get ready for an event. i appreciated finding disposable slippers in the room. This is a nice touch. the bathroom also had wonderful toiletries.
the writing on the lighting control system buttons was very tiny, made them difficult to read.

The bus stop to trafalgar square was a mere three minutes away. I found this convenient. the twenty-four hour reception was definitely useful. the room included a super comfortable bed. The shower was also amazing.
the wardrobe had a sharp screw protruding from the door. it was a minor detail though.
