my single room turned out to be a family room, and it was a great surprise. i really appreciated the extra space as i was traveling solo. the location meant shops and food were very close, so i could grab what i needed quickly.

the location was good. it was just around the corner from paddington station, made travel easy.
My room was NOT good. there was no lift and i was on the fourth floor. this meant a VERY long climb up very steep stairs. also, there was no drinkable water in the room. I had to go downstairs to get any.
