great location birthday cake comfortable room no hot water missing wines dusty corners
The location was superb! borough market and the shard were just a quick five-minute walk. they delivered a delicious cake to my room since it was my birthday. That was a lovely touch. the room itself was comfortable and well-appointed.
the hot water wasn't working on my second day, and the staff didn't seem to care much. the bar ran out of most wines. i found dusty corners in my room, and basic tea supplies were missing.
