Good

Like paying Harrods prices for...

Liked: The location and decor are good.
Disliked: The room was laughably small. I was glad I was alone as the toilet is practically next to the bed, with just a sliding door. There is nowhere to hang clothes, no kettle or coffee maker, no hairdryer in the room, no hair conditioner. It could not be more basic. You get way less than a Travelodge but for more than twice the price. All fur coat and no knickers! I was also bitten by what I think were bedbugs so returning home was an ordeal as I have had to vacuum and steam all my stuff. The worst of all was the Booking.com experience. Due to a fault with their system (which they admitted) my initial booking failed so I had to book again the following day and was charged considerably more. Despite more than five emails, they are yet to respond to me. I will never use Booking.com again, and nor would I recommend this hotel.
