 Our view was that of a hospital It wasn t fun to look into what looked like patients rooms So if you d like to avoid that don t accept room 557 There was also a lot of construction going on around the outside of the hotel It took away from the vacation feel We visited the restaurant lounge bar once and it was crowded and the service was quite slow 
 Location is the reason we chose this hotel It was easy to step outside for a taxi or walk across the bridge to catch the Tube I liked the modern decor of the rooms The living room was a little dark but our daughter was using the sofa bed which she said was fine It served as a second bedroom for us The bathroom lighting was nice and bright but the glass door didn t afford total privacy There was a mini fridge with enough room for small items and there was also a mini bar with a sink which was handy when two of us had to get ready The microwave was also handy for reheating food
