For what you’re getting, this is certainly overpriced. The room is admittedly laid out in a nice way, very reminiscent of hotels abroad like you may find in France or Greece. But once you start to operate the room (using the blinds and heating, for example), things get a little dicey, and don’t perhaps work as they should. The integration of technology is done well, and I imagine that when it works it works very well.
Unfortunately, the cleaning leaves things to be desired. There was what looked like a scab attached to my towel (vile), and hairs round the edge of the apartment and bathroom not belonging to me.
I’d also take a moment to point out that the decor in this hotel is tasteless. Each wall is adorned with a mock up photo of a significant political leader (I spotted Boris Johnson, Kim Jong Un, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin) in prison garb holding up a prison identification board in the form of a mugshot. Not appropriate; and currently not funny in light of current and recent world events.
Additionally, the only member of staff I interacted with could use a little more courtesy. Perhaps it’s because it was a late night? All I know was that I found them to be coarse and rude, despite being pleasant myself.
It’s also worth noting a couple days on that I am still awaiting my deposit back, which due to their faulty card reader insisting the brand new card I’d had for about a week was “stolen”, had to manually be paid by Apple Pay rather than having a pre-authorisation charge waiting on the card.
Overall, this place could be lovely, but the prices do not accurately reflect what you’re getting, and if you’re very tired, a travelodge bed may feel every penny better and leave you with more money to explore London with!
