Pros: recently decorated room, comfortable firm bed, clean white cotton bedding, reasonably quiet, great view of river, free and plentiful continental breakfast with cereals, muffin/croissant, toast with jam & cheese, yoghurts, pleasant and helpful staff.
Cons: room needed more detailed cleaning, shower head was stuck in holder and hard to adjust, skimpy tea & coffee in room & no decaf coffee, TV subject to atmospheric interference and channel hopping a challenge (maybe new batteries in hand set needed?), damaged fan and bedside lamp, windows didn't close fully and the handles were loose. There was a wedding party in the basement on Saturday night which had very loud music until midnight. Rusty curtain pole needing more rings and rusty radiator needing painting with rad enamel.
Note that I booked the cheapest room which was a family room with river view. On arrival I was given Rm 305 which was very small, had nowhere to hang clothes and a very outdated accessible bathroom with a hole in the wall, a flimsy shelf over a sink that was cracked and a view of the river only by craning your neck. Although the website has the caveat that you may not get a room like the one in the picture I found this totally unacceptable. However the Receptionist was reasonable and I was given a more acceptable room. It was the helpfulness of Sanjit and the other staff on duty during my stay, its location a good 3 nights sleep and the view that made my stay reasonably pleasant.
