good and friendly staff
Liked: it was changed to the tower hotel was great but with me being in a wheelchair there was no way to get a shower or even a wash as bathroom was to small to fit the wheelchair in so I had to wet a towel and was in the room
Disliked: no wet room

Perfect Location, Comfortable and Enjoyable...
Liked: My original booking was transferred from Shoreditch to Holborn due to hotel closure. The price I paid did not change which was fantastic as I actually found Holborn to be far more suitable location wise than my original booking. This hotel was very easily accessible from London Kings Cross using the London Underground to Holborn Station. I later realized that Tottenham Ct Road station is also within a similar distance from the hotel. The Hotel itself was easy to find and was close to plenty of places to shop, eat and drink. The staff were friendly, approachable and very helpful. The room I stayed in was absolutely immaculate, clean, tidy and comfortable. Honestly hands down the best nights sleep I've had in ages and the bath and shower facilities was exceptional. 100% I would stay here again.
Disliked: Sadly due to my reservation having been moved from one hotel to another, I did not get the benefit of breakfast being included in the price of my stay. This made me sad especially when I could smell it cooking on my way out each morning ;-) Seriously though, no complaints at all!

Great time in London, though...
Liked: Great view of the skyscrapers and St Katherine's Docks, nice colour scheme & pictures in the room. Comfy bed
Disliked: The desk and bedside cabinet are clearly in need of replacement. The chair is too big to go under the desk, and in such a small room this is crucial. The wheel to the one corner of the bed was left exposed, and consequently I caught my little toe on it just after I'd had a bath. The toe immediately started to bleed, and some some time before it stopped, and I then had to rush to get the show that I'd come to London to see at the Barbican Centre. The wheels need to be turned so that they recede under the bed

Excellent
Liked: I was informed beforehand that the hotel was temporarily closed because of rising infections, so I was transferred to a hotel at Trafalgar Square. I was given a very warm welcome from the receptionist and check-in was quick and easy. Furthermore I was upgraded to a beautiful deluxe room at no extra charge. Thus, the location was amazing.?
Disliked: Nothing!
