The Tower Hotel, by Thistle
Cannot adjust room temp our room was so hot, they brought us a fan which helped, Did not have a coffee maker as advertised they said they didn't have enough for all the rooms, elevators where terrible so packed and took forever, and the stairwell smelled aweful

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus
Great location but that’s about it. Dirty towels, extremely small room, sink backed up, one roll of toilet paper, AC not working. Wouldn’t recommend staying. Ended up booking a new property the same day we arrived and eating the cost of both hotels to get out of there.

Hostels are very different from hotels apparently. Not only is nothing for drinks in the room, there is not even a glass for water. Dog barking hours into the night. Poor quality food with little vegetarian options. No room service.
