central locationbasic roomlack of amenities

the location was central, close to many attractions, including st james's park and the grainger market.

the room was very basic (i knew this going in). there was no tv or any extra amenities. i also think this is better suited for a lads night out, i don't recommend bringing a partner if you want the relationship to last.
