 I have never been charged a deposit in advance of staying in a hotel before and I have stayed in all sorts of places all over the world It was a bit of a shock to be over 100 poorer than I had expected as I walked through the door even though I got it back at the end I couldn t enjoy it during my stay I expect a small room as a single traveller so it wasn t too much of a shock There were too many little problems though like no teabags being left by room service and a long wait in the restaurant when I asked for some I eventually gave up went out and bought some And when there is a large puddle of reddy brown water that has leaked from somewhere onto the bathroom floor I would like to at least be asked by one of the 3 investigating staff members if I would like to be moved I would have said yes Some places allow you to relax and enjoy the luxury of your stay But this was an unforgettably and undeniably extremely overpriced experience 
 The breakfast was good and the staff were obviously keen to help There were gluten free options for both main course and dessert at dinner I also really liked the area and was able to explore a part of London I don t know very well with ease I love the DLR I eventually discovered a local Japanese restaurant which was excellent
