There are downsides to very large hotels

Booking in was horrendous. I had to produce my booking and id and was made to feel like I was some sort of criminal. Rest of staff were pleasant and friendly. Limited plug sockets and none next to the bed

Great area to stay, close to the Underground and buses. Would have been nice to have more space to put your suitcase like a luggage rack. Also ice machines would have been great.

This property was as expected based on the online photos. I like the close proximity of the Blooms cafe. I would like to more variety in want is avaliable to eat. The staff was pleasant.
