唐宁顿城堡

帶小孩去summer camp在這裡住了兩週，房間乾淨，空間大，有早餐，交通方便，治安好。服務人員很棒，希望下次來住的時候電梯已修好！ 以後來英國都先考慮他～～

Some random thoughts: 1) Someone's hair easily spotted all over the bathroom's white walls when we checked in. Told front desk ( later with photos taken at the scene when repeated requests to clean them were futile ) as well as left notes to housekeeping yet the strands were never removed. 2) No green tea sachets and was bluntly told " we don't have green tea ". This is Marriott! 3) Telly not working properly and later fixed; cracked walls along doorframes with paint worn off. 4) Housekeeping never saw the broken chair until we reported it to front desk. 5) Stains on faucet and shower hose are indelible. 6) Room is small--bed directly placed beside bathroom with a very narrow gap in between where one can hear everything that's going on inside. The bed functions as an extended space to put pjs so it is THAT close, plus bathroom is small. 7) Shower drainage slow & blocked even when lid is removed. Prob still lingered on day 7. Lucky to have powerful water pressure and three shower jet settings are forceful. Bathroom door is hard to open once locked. 8) lipstick/ tea stains on cups not washed off even when offloaded fresh from dishwasher. 9) Pantry with kettle and coffee machine. Fridge and dishwasher in room. Washing machine (free) is downstairs. 10) Borough Market, London Bridge, The Shard and Borough tube station close by. 11) Bed and quilt very comfy and daily housekeeping does not include fresh linen and towels. 12) Free 24/7 gym but toilet there is musty and smelly.

The room was extremely small. No place for a suitcase except on top of the small built-in desk. No space in the bathroom even for a small trash bin. One could not bend down to pick up anything without smacking one’s head on the side. In fact, entering the narrow shower requires one to enter sideways and to carefully hold onto a handle to avoid falling (and I’m a fit person). The shower doors would not close all the way, the room AC rattled and was so loud it sounded like a lawn mower in the room. The elevator uses an old fashioned metal sliding door you must manually close when leaving otherwise it won’t respond to calls from other floors. Guests don’t always do this and staff do not keep an eye on it so be prepared to have to walk down or up stairs most of the time. For “breakfast”, which is extremely light the tables one sits at are the size of a shoe—enough for a cup of coffee. And there are only 3-4 places. The public rooms, and ballrooms, however, are beautiful! I was eventually moved to a larger room but only on the last day of the stay, and even that process was awkward with poor communication from the staff. For the price I paid—£440 per night—I would never go back.
