adequate stay with some drawbacks

convenient locationuncleanliness issueinadequate lighting
the location proved convenient for accessing nearby attractions. (i particularly enjoyed the short walk to the city center)
My room lacked proper cleanliness. I found some questionable residue in the sink. additionally, inadequate lighting made simple tasks like hair styling difficult, as there were few mirrors and hardly any accessible power sockets. i woke up to loud banging noises early in the morning, disruptive.

a festive and super clean stay

fresh foodfriendly staffexcellent locationsuper clean hotel
the breakfast was really good with many options to choose from. the cooked food was fresh and hot (i particularly enjoyed the eggs!). the staff in the bar were friendly. the hotel was super clean. its location near the barbican theatre and city walls was ideal. a short walk brought me to central attractions and the hop-on and off bus stop.
I noticed a slight cold draft in the early hours. The fan heater took a while to start working, but eventually provided some warmth.

the location proved convenient for city exploration. the hotel's proximity to key attractions allowed us to easily immerse ourselves in the local scene. the breakfast selection stood out, it featured a wide variety of options.
during our stay, the lack of functioning air conditioning was A challenge. we relied on a provided fan to mitigate the discomfort, which proved insufficient. the dated bathroom looked worn, with the bath and curtain showing signs of age.

mixed feelings about the stay

small windowshower problem
the room was quite disappointing. i paid extra for a tower view, but the window was small and covered in condensation. it barely opened and scraped against the wall. also the shower lacked water pressure, and there was limescale buildup on the shower head. these issues, combined with the general condition of the room, made me question the overall value.
