Review of Shaftesbury Hotels London

A FIT ROOM TO FIT IN

A FIT ROOM TO FIT IN

If you land up in one of the train compartment like single rooms, well brace yourself. This might just be one of the smallest hotel rooms in which you will ever sleep. In fact, this must be the only four star hotel in London, if not in the world, where the bathroom is so small that you have to sit askew on the toilet, with the door wide open and your one foot dangling around the entrance. This is really very stupid. Unless you move in with only your toothbrush with you, you will find very little space, if any, to put anything down.

That said, if you want to stay in a really cute little upmarket hotel, close to Paddington station, in a vicinty where it can actually be quite nice with parks close by, then you have come to the right place. The little single rooms are actually very nice, if you can succeed in moving around. And if you feel you need some excercise, lay on the bed, touch the wall next to the bed with the side of your foot and see if you can reach the TV against the opposite wall with your other foot. It is quite possible. And you do not have to be a giant to do so. In fact if a giant could fit into this neat little train compartment like room, he would have a great time writing a review about it.
