There are downsides to very large hotels

Booking in was horrendous. I had to produce my booking and id and was made to feel like I was some sort of criminal. Rest of staff were pleasant and friendly. Limited plug sockets and none next to the bed

Great area to stay, close to the Underground and buses. Would have been nice to have more space to put your suitcase like a luggage rack. Also ice machines would have been great.

Poor check in experience, several hotels have separate desks and similar names. Wrong queue then your doing it twice, this could be made clearer within the foyer or on booking confirmation. Room nice, modern, comfortable and clean, top marks here, where it really counts.

A very large hotel, catering more tourists, rooms very basic, with thin walls so you hear everything from the rooms around you. Plenty for breakfest but the cooked was warm not hot, and no vegatarian option

The room had recently been refurbished and was in excellent condition. Very clean, with comfortable bedding and a beautiful bathroom. Sadly, no air-con, which would be a problem in summer. Recommended.
