Yeah. Have all the fun from downstairs, 10 Downing Street, drink, drink and eat all that yummy food and try crawling one floor up to a rather gloomy but well kept big room. Expect not much of service as there are just a couple of boys running errands. No bed coffee can be expected even if requested. The staff seems... More

The staff is lazy but friendly and there is no in-house kitchen except for tea/coffee service, which is also average. There is a... More
