Good location but no care to room equipment
Hotel is covered by scaffolding. No mention was made about this on booking. Staff on arrival ok but no apology for no warning of scaffolding jusy reason for it. Unlikely to have booked if known. In room using hairdryer which didnt sound particularly good, it gave a small explosion, singed my hair and started severly smoking. Tried to call Rec, but phone not plugged in and on trying to plug ot in, the wire disappeared into the wall. I had to go down from 6th floor to rec. I was given a spare hairdryer but no apology just mild surprise. Had to ask him to check the hairdryer and phone.
I mentioned issues on check out as i had asked the night rec to make a note. Day staff unaware and made another note. Apology given but nothing else. This is for a room that was £303!! Not very impressed.

Yes, I'd stay here again!
Neighborhood is fun ... not close to Buckingham Palace or Westminster Abbey, but is within walking distance to the Globe theater (full of full and edgy stuff) and St. Paul's.
All clean; good breakfast buffet though very crowded. Modernized, with friendly front desk staff.
Missing: room safe, although we dealt with it.
