A mixed experience. The location is excellent, with great transport links and plenty of convenience shops and restaurants nearby.
I had to wait about 10 minutes after check-in for the room to be ready, and then, when I got to my room, a male housekeeper unexpectedly walked in while I was there to drop off a blanket and an extra towel. Thankfully, I was just working on my laptop, but this could have been a very uncomfortable encounter. It seemed like there was a communication lapse between reception and housekeeping. I had been in the room for about 20 minutes And he asked whether I was in the room for a long time to which I replied to yes.
The room itself was quite small and felt cramped. The layout wasn’t ideal, with the kitchen next to the bathroom, and the air conditioning was inefficient, making it either too hot or too cold. Being close to the elevators meant I could hear every bit of noise, though it wasn’t too bothersome to me. The full-length mirror was positioned so awkwardly close to the bed that I couldn’t see myself properly, which added to the cramped feeling. The windows were tiny, and even with the room’s lighting, it felt dim and a bit claustrophobic despite the nice decor and comfy bed.
I have stayed in many studio apartments In London but for a longer stay, I’d definitely look for something more spacious. Overall, while the location and staff were great, the room’s issues were a letdown.
