A Decent Hotel with Room for Improvement

super clean room well maintained room friendly staff unclear reception non-functional water station delayed tray removal
The rooms were super clean, and everything was very well maintained (I appreciated the attention to detail). The staff were lovely, and they were always helpful and friendly. The location near the Tate Modern was also convenient for transport.
The reception area was not clearly marked. I was ignored on arrival with my bags. The water station on my floor was not working, and I was not advised about it.

a decent stay

restaurant recommendation helpful manager security concern breakfast quality
the room was quite spacious and well-appointed. it included two queen beds (perfect for my needs). the guest services manager, leena, was very helpful. she provided restaurant recommendations (i went to founder's arms).
security seemed a concern. i misplaced an item in a public area. i did not notice effort to check security cameras. the breakfast quality was not great and the service was slow (i expected better).
