clean room cozy space creative cocktail strong noise unpleased staff concierge limitations

The room was very clean and cozy I appreciated its proximity to Covent Garden. The Gallery cocktails were creative and delicious I enjoyed the cute service. The staff emailed about my needs before arrival I was able to freshen up in the fitness center.

I found that whenever water was used in the bathroom it created a strong noise I could also hear noise from outside.
