 Asked for a room with a view and not a brick wall due to other reviews I had read Got a room with no view A spiral emergency staircase with a wall behind it Couldn t even see the sky and had to go downstairs to front door to do a weather check every morning Couldn t open the blinds in case anyone was using the staircase and the windows wouldn t open So permanently in a darkish room Very claustrophobic Presume this is because we booked through booking com and got the room cheaper but it was still 250 a night room only
 Location was great Opposite new Scotland Yard Near tube station and within walking distance of many attractions Hotel was bright and clean
