The biggest con is this hotel is very confusing and difficult to navigate. I didn’t think I’d need help getting my luggage to my room but I should have accepted when they offered! Everything is on different levels, so even after taking the lift I had to go up and down several short sets of stairs. The signage is very poor (not a lot of it and sometimes incomplete, so there were signs pointing to rooms near mine but not to the section mine was in). I got lost the first time I left my room!
But the room itself was nice enough. The bathroom was laid out oddly (lots of space but hard to find places to hang towels), but it had a nice shower/tub. The light in the bathroom was motion activated (no switch). It kept coming on until I figured out it would turn off if I closed the door. But it came on again the second I opened the door, so it was impossible to use the bathroom at night without being blinded. I had a nice view of Blackheath, but that also meant there was a lot of traffic that kept me awake, and there wasn’t much difference in noise when the window was open or closed. The window opened a decent amount and there was a fan installed in the room (mounted on the wall). That was great since it was warm. Just don’t do what I did and pull back the sheer inner curtain all night, because I woke up the first morning with a pigeon in my room…
