average stay with a few hiccups

erratic air conditioningthin walls

The room was quite small. A bit disappointing considering what i expected. the air conditioning was also erratic. it kept switching off automatically, so i had to get up several times during the night to turn it back on. plus, the walls seemed thin. I could hear noises from other rooms, disrupting my sleep a bit.

The cleaning was very good with new water bottles, biscuits, tea and coffee provided every day. The hotel location has close proximity to two tube stations with access to three tube lines. (So convenient!).

The walls were quite thin. I could hear the man in the room beside me snoring and watching television.
