a tender sanctuary

quiet charmeasy travelavailable coffeepartial elevator
my room was a beautiful studio and it felt so calming. i found coffee and tea always available near reception, a gesture i adore. the location made travel easy, i found the tube station only a short walk away. the neighborhood had such a quiet charm about it, ideal for my peaceful escape.
the elevator only reached the fifth floor, a small inconvenience as my room existed on the sixth. i wish the elevator gave me full access to my floor.

Acceptable, but Some Issues

worn furnituresmall bathroom
The room I had was a bit underwhelming. The furniture looked worn with noticeable scratches. The bathroom was small, and the two single beds pushed together (instead of the queen I booked) were uncomfortably firm, causing me back pain (honestly, it was not a great way to start my mornings). the curtains in the bedroom covered a wall instead of a window. I didn't appreciate that.

The location is great. I found the staff helpful. The room was quiet and I appreciated the comfortable bed.
The bedding was too hot for me. The sheets were not cotton. I noticed the bottom sheet was pilled. I found the water far too hot, and the taps were not labeled, so I almost burnt myself in the shower.

i stayed in a studio and i found the beds unusually comfortable. i appreciated the location , it was close to the underground station. there were complimentary drinks available in the reception area , it was a nice touch.
the shower was not good at all. the cold water didn't work properly , so the shower was hot. i had to wash my hair in the kitchen sink because it had slightly cooler water. the carpet seemed filthy and there was fluff coming off of it.
