Reality check
Housekeeping only comes every 4 days for longer stays, and you have to pay £15 per bag to store luggage.
- You are a light sleeper who needs absolute darkness
- You plan to spend 100% of your day exploring London
- You prefer a gym over a hotel bar
Curățenie și Întreținere
8
- Housekeeping: Hit or miss. The 'every 4 days' policy annoys many guests. Some reports of dust in corners.
- Bathroom hygiene: Generally clean, but shower drainage can be slow, leading to wet floors.
- Maintenance: Modern and new, but high traffic means some wear and tear on carpets.
- Linens & towels: Fresh Egyptian cotton sheets, but you only get one towel per person (extra towels may cost £5).
- Odors & scents: Usually neutral/fresh, but some hallways can smell of 'yesterday's socks' or dampness due to lack of ventilation.

5 lucruri pe care trebuie să le știi înainte să pleci
💡The air can feel a bit dry/stale due to the lack of windows and heavy AC use.
💡The glass bathroom partitions mean your roommate will see a silhouette of you using the toilet.
💡The fire alarm lights on the ceiling can be surprisingly bright in the pitch-black room (bring an eye mask just in case).
💡There is zero mobile signal deep inside the building; you must rely on the Wi-Fi.
💡The lobby is huge and often chaotic with groups checking in via self-service kiosks.
