uneven experience

dog hair on bedding stained furniture
the location was acceptable, providing easy access to nearby eateries.
the room's cleanliness was questionable as it had a noticeable smell, like wet dog.. the presence of dog hair on the bedding was unpleasant. i also found stains on the furniture, detracting from the overall quality of the stay.

convenient bankside stay

helpful staff useful amenities
the hotel is located near coffee shops and restaurants along the thames river. shakespeare's globe and water taxi access are a short walk away. a washer, dryer, large fridge, and stove and microwave are useful. the front desk staff offered helpful information about transport.
The light switches were complicated with unlabeled buttons. the kitchen was not fully equipped. It had two saucepans and only two small plates. the curtains did not cover all the windows, causing light to enter the room.
