great breakfastconvenient locationfaulty ventilationcarpet stain
The breakfast was great. I enjoyed the variety available each morning. The location was very convenient. The bus and metro stations were nearby. This made getting around very easy!
The ventilation system didn't seem to work properly, so the room got quite warm. The staff gave me a fan, though it was a bit noisy. It wasn't a great solution for the temperature. I also noticed that the room needed a deeper clean. The carpet had some noticeable stains.

Adequate stay near the O2

ideal locationgood selectionhelpful staffpoor ventilationstained carpetunjoined beds
The hotel's location was ideal, especially because I attended an event at the o2. The station was a short walk away. The breakfast offered a good selection of food. Staff members were friendly and helpful.
The bathroom lacked adequate ventilation , which caused the mirrors to steam up after showering. The carpet in my room had some noticeable stains. The bed seemed like two single beds pushed together.
