The no potable water was a real problem. I wasn’t sure if it was safe to shower with, so I gave myself a sponge bath with the water they’d supplied for drinking. Not exactly what you want after/before a long flight. I washed my teeth with my bottled water.
The whole place was clean but has clearly seen better days. Electric sign outside is only partially lit up. Minor fixes needed in the room, crack in the wall, not good signage leading to the rooms…the label on the room key was handwritten, not printed. All cosmetic issues only, but they add up. I’m sure they are doing the best with what they have, but what they have isn’t great.
Bed was positioned in such a way that there’s no beside table, so I carried over one of the small tables under the TV and used that.
Short walk from a bus stop. The path getting there does require going under a subway under the street, exactly the kind of place I’d expect to get mugged. Didn’t feel safe.
Pros: clean, comfortable bed, full wardrobe with space for luggage, short bus ride to/from Heathrow.
