Queens Hotel, London

Advantages: Cheap, reasonably convienient
Disadvantages: slightly worn out, basic

I recently had a trip to London with a friend, and since I have been in hotels in and around London before, I was tasked with finding us accommodation for 3 nights. I knew that we would be using the hotel for bed and breakfast only, so wasn't going to waste our money on anything too fancy.

Advantages: NONE
Disadvantages: IT EXISTS
