Heerlijk verblijf in prachtige suite

Super lokatie voor China town en alle musicals op loopafstand

Erg slaperige vermoeide receptie die teveel uren maakt zonder enige actie

All in all, we had a great time and the hotel is brilliantly placed for Chinatown and the cinemas

8.0

Location is perfect. The emilie suite is compact but very comfortable with an excellent bathroom and great Air Con! The desk staff are polite and welcoming

It is expensive. Also the room cleaning wasn’t great, we had used towels left on the floor in the bathroom and some rubbish left in the room. I’m thinking this was a one off maybe as the property doesn’t seem like this would happen regularly

Estancia de Lujo en pleno corazón de Londres.

10.0

Mi gran temor era que no pudiésemos descansar bien por el ruido de la calle. El hecho de que la habitación estuviese en la primera planta inicialmente me daba un poco de miedo porque la calle donde se encuentra el hotel es muy transitada y pensaba que tendríamos mucho ruido ambiente. Pero nada de eso se cumplió. La habitación tenía un inmejorable aislamiento acústico y no se escuchaba nada del exterior, pese a tener justo debajo un restaurante con terraza a pleno rendimiento. La amplitud de la habitación (Suite Johann Strauss) es un punto muy destacable, teniendo en cuenta las medidas habituales de los alojamientos en Londres. El hotel se encuentra en pleno corazón de Londres, permitiéndonos visitar multitud de lugares de interés caminando sin tener que coger transporte público.

Que el alojamiento no tuviese servicio de desayuno, pero al estar en un barrio tan céntrico, no tuvimos problemas en encontrar un lugar para desayunar. Cuando llegamos a la habitación la temperatura estaba a 16 grados (parecía un congelador) y tuvimos que esperar durante horas para que la temperatura de la estancia volviese a tener una temperatura apta para la vida humana. El precio de la habitación era excesivo, pero acorde con los precios de la zona.
