8/10 Good
"The hotel is in a great location close to piccadilly station and is very unique following the refurbishment of a very old warehouse. In terms of the size of the room, bed, facitlities etc. we found very good. However the lighting was very poor in the kitchen and the hallway. Down lighting in the kitchen is at eye height so blinds you if you want to find something in the cabinets. In the hall, its impossible to put your clothes away into the wardrobe without the use of a phone torch. Our tv did not work ( both regular and digital), and although i wrote 2 whats app messages, this was not resolved before our departure as there was non one on site after 6pm, who could attend. Overall we still did have a great stay, its a pity a couple of basics let the property down"
