basic but central

basic room lack 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.

the location was very central to everything i wanted to see and do. the staff was helpful with directions and suggestions for local attractions. the bathroom sparkled and looked recently updated, it was really clean. communication was fantastic from the beginning to the end.
the room was small, a little more space would be nice. i would not choose to stay more than a single night because of it.
