I loved the fact that it looks just like the hotels I used to frequent when going on business trips to Germany; all a bit bling (gold light switches!) and Dallas-era, just like you imagine a hotel room to look like when you've watched too many made for TV dramas. All a bit tired looking now, which adds to the retro charme. Each room doubles up as a mini apartment with kitchenette and built-in ironing board, and apparently some guests stay here semi-permanently. There's a laundry room in the basement, as well as spa and fitness room. I was lucky to stay with a friend who extended a business trip, but apparently the rates are very reasonable even if you have to pay yourself. It's easy to get to, just a short walk from the tube.

There are a range of rooms available, split between traditional hotel rooms and apartment hotel rooms. The staff are friendly and the customer service provided was good. The hotel's post war architecture is very distinct and is complimented by the fixtures such as the art work in the corridors. The overall standard of the room was good. We had an apartment hotel room which contained everything we needed except an oven. However, a microwave and two hobs are provided so you can cook some meals. The bedding is German style so the pillows are very soft so not to everyone's level of comfort. The apartment rooms are cleaned twice a week and more cleaning is available for an extra charge. A basic cleaning pack is provided along with some initial welcome supplies of tea, coffee, bottled water and beer.
