Hotel Jaz in the City is a modern hotel on the edge of a lively complex that blends living spaces, shops, and leisure. The Underground and main railway station are just a short walk away, and you are close to the City Library, the sprawling Milaneo Shopping Complex, and a vast choice of eateries. ||But every adventure has its quirks, and ours came with a few surprises. The rooms, while sleek and stylish, seemed to have a secret ambition to double as a sauna. The air conditioning was either on a break or just not up to the task, so we found ourselves sleeping with the window open, letting the city’s nighttime soundtrack drift in. ||Housekeeping played hard to get during our four-day stay. Despite using the high-tech door card system to request a service our room was never cleaned. We had to call reception twice for fresh towels and a much-needed tea and coffee refill. Not ideal, but at least the staff were polite when we contacted them, but they never advised us that service should be booked from the room, using the small tablet device.||The terrace bar was a let down as staff seemed more interested in socialising than in serving guests. And the downstairs bar/restaurant? It was always closed in the evening when we tried to visit, adding a touch of mystery to our stay.||If you are after a hotel with a prime location and don’t mind a few quirks along the way, this spot is worth considering. Just pack a sense of humour—and maybe a portable fan.
