excellent stay near royal london hospital

helpful staffclean roomlate check-outreally good service
the service was really good. the gentleman at reception, though i forgot his name, was helpful. he provided key information about the room and surrounding area. the room had character, it felt both cosy and meticulously clean. i especially appreciated the offer of a late check-out, a thoughtful touch.
the sink plug did not work properly so i couldn't shave easily. it was a minor inconvenience, but it affected my morning routine.

The room had a fan. This made a big difference because it was hot. Staff members were lovely and helpful. Cigdem was really helpful. I would happily stay again!
The street was noisy on Saturday night. Access to the hotel required buzzing and waiting. Nobody answered when I buzzed. Other guests let me in to access reception.
