St Martins Lane

Este es un hotel de diseno de arriba a abajo. En la puerta ni siquiera pone que es un hotel, de hecho mas bien parece un Club. El hall tampoco parece la recepcion de un hotel, por cierto, el restaurante con cocina fusion Thai-Cuba es una pasada.

Los ascensores tiene musica chill-out y estan ilumninados unicamente por la luz de unas pantallas planas que muestran videos relajantes. Los pasillos estan muy bien acondicionados para aislar el ruido, pero lo mejor son las habitaciones.

Me quede en la 634 en la ultima planta.

La habitacion es un gran cubo blanco en el que una de las paredes es toda de cristal y da al exterior. Hay varias luces que se pueden atenuar para crear diferentes ambientes. La mesa es de marmol artificial y se ilumina junto con las luces relajantes de la cama, en las que se puede cambiar la gama de colores.

En definitiva, las habitaciones estan llenas de detalles, el mejor, la base JBL para escuchar musica con tu Ipod.

El unico inconveniente fue la conexion a internet, que primero no funcionaba y luego era muy lenta. A pesar de esto, el personal del hotel se volco para ayudarme y al final ni siquiera me cobraron el servicio de internet.

Un hotel muy recomendable.

Great location and very stylish but the rooms aren't that big, there's not much in them and bed was very soft and uncomfortable - my back hasn't been the same since! There are no tea/coffee making facilities in the room, the mirror is miles from the plug and the shower flooded the bathroom. Also the rooms are quite small and the much vaunted 'floor to ceiling windows aren't at all impressive.

We paid L37 for two very small and ordinary cocktails in the (admittedly very chic) bar and breafast was L25 per person for a filled roll and a hot drink.

This hotel has solid modern design (although I guess its not that modern anymore) with a decent location and its clean (although the wall to wall carpeting is not the best for cleanliness)

However, it seems that they are trying to make money from every single thing they can. Its an expensive hotel and I would assume that they would be happy with the customers paying that much money. For example, I went to a club nearby and the doorman suggested we take a hotel cab which cost us 18 pounds even though the regular cab would cost 5 (and I asked about the distance and was assured it was far and the price was OK).

Overall, there is a snobbish feel to this hotel. Its interesting to see the design elements if you are into that. although you can go to the bar and have a drink or lunch before going to the theater.
