Had a lovely stay at this hotel. It was easy to get around London via the overground from here. Had a great view and I was surprised by the facilities in the room including a microwave, sink, and hob. We had a quick look around all of the extra facilities in the morning and played some games in the playroom downstairs which was very fun. The sauna and swimming pool also looked great. My only complaint is that we found an old towel that had been put in one of the cupboards and had been missed by the cleaning team. Not really a complaint, clearly the people before us did a better job hiding their towels than we did.

Exploring London via the overground must have been a great experience, and we are glad to hear that you enjoyed the view and the surprises in your room, like the microwave, sink, and hob. It's always fun to discover extra amenities like the playroom and to take advantage of relaxing features like the sauna and swimming pool. I appreciate your understanding about the oversight with the old towel; it's understandable that small things like that can happen, and your lighthearted perspective is refreshing. If you ever decide to return, I'm sure the hotel staff would be more than happy to ensure everything is perfect for your stay.
