20. I will start with the pros: location, cleanness and low speed wifi for free and the cons: no way this is a 4 star, at least if you are from Europe you should not be able to guess this is anywhere near a 4 star; the room was very small and the bathroom very basic and old; no mini bar and if your sleep is light get ready to wake up each time someone slams a door in the corridor since walls are not thick and due to the size of the room you are basically sleeping in the corridor; expect to pay for leaving your luggage in the hotel after check out; hi speed wifi for a fee and USD 0.25/minute with a credit card in the business centre; the hotel is old-looking as a whole.

25. Theres free wifi available in the room which was handy for us as we booked all our tickets for ESB, Top of the rock, circle line, Madame Tussauds etc. Only thing was the computer room with printer was out of order, so we emailed everything to Staples which is across the road and it cost like 10 cents or something.

27. We would recommend the hotel to other people staying, we enjoyed the location, the ease of where it was to other places, and also enjoyed the Skylight diner a couple of times just down the road (found it preferable in quality and value to the Tick Tock Diner attached to the hotel), able to use the business centre to print off our boarding passes for the 2nd half of our trip which was useful and the free internet wifi was good with no downtimes or slow use.
