Shangri-La The Shard, London
Clean and modern, great views. Rooms are spacious but starting to show age with things like peeling paint and worn carpets. Staff is very friendly and attentive. Room service menus are extremely limited, breakfast was ok but nothing to write home about.

The Bermondsey Square Hotel
Personally the A/c was too cool & blowing onto my bed. Spoke with a manager & it was turned down for the following evening & towel rail turned on. Room was clean, window did need a clean.
