East Hertfordshire District accommodation from NZ$191

Amazing

Perfect location, clean, comfortable with friendly staff, great food and drinks. Lovely extra with water bottle and choc in room.

At check-in we were given a key card & pointed to the lifts, no information was given about the hotel facilities (we were not even told where breakfast would be served). There was no information in the room either (except a room service menu) where I would normally expect to find some, either as hard copy or available on TV. The bathroom was hopeless - lighting was totally inadequate, the brightest lighting being directly above the bath, which was behind you when standing at the sink and trying to use the mirror above it and therefore left one's face in shadow. although there were lights above the sink area they were so dim as to be no help. Also, on Day2 we returned from a day out to find the bath (which we had not yet used) contained sludge, which must have come up through the plug hole. We tried to charge a meal taken at the Vicinity restaurant (within the hotel) to our room as I would have expected to be able to do, but we were told it was not possible because our room account was not set up for credit, although we had never been asked or offered the chance to do this. As a result we were unable to benefit from the promised discount on food and drink charges obtainable by declining the servicing of our room. In summary, not impressed especially at the prices charged. The only positive was the view of London Bridge, especially when it was being raised.
