Myself and a friend stayed for two nights in December. Our rate included breakfast.||Pros:|-Clean premises. |-Modern decor. |-Helpful, attentive, and polite staff. |-Free WiFi throughout hotel.|-Small lobby with check-in desk, seating in two sections. |-We arrived at 10am and were allowed to leave our suitcases with Reception. A member of staff put our suitcases in our room - a nice touch. |-First night - Room 19, ‘classic twin room’ - two single beds (1st floor) - located in the new extension. Small room. Keycard entry. Suitcase stand. Open cupboard with hanging space, shelves, hairdryer, iron & ironing board, bathrobes. Electronic safe (free), tea/hot chocolate/bottled water & kettle, fridge (contents chargeable, 2x free bottled water), Nespresso coffee capsule machine. Wall-mounted Philips TV. Chair. Beds with bedside tables. Telephone. Mirror. Air-con. Views of a brick wall opposite. Spacious en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower, toilet, basin, heated towel rail. |-Second night - we paid an additional £30 upgrade charge: Room 209 - ‘superior room’. Room has same facilities as Room 19 but bedroom and bathroom areas are twice the size, there are two double beds and the TV works! View of rear garden, hotel car park and surrounding housing.|-Room service until 10pm. |-Breakfast (new, larger extended section): Monday-Friday 6:30-10am, Saturday-Sunday 7:30-10:30am. Continental and full-English buffet available - excellent food choices. |-Restaurant Hide & seed open all day with last orders at 10pm. Bar open from breakfast to 11pm. |-Fitness Centre with cardio and weights equipment, open 6:30am-9:30pm. |-Boardroom. |-Car parking at front and rear. ||Cons:|-No lift. |-First night - Room 19 - room sizes much smaller in the new extension section. Even the door is only shoulder-width! |-First night - Room 19 - bathroom - tiny toilet (children’s size) and tiny shower cubicle. I felt like a giant and I’m less than 6ft tall! Not fit for use for adults. |-First night -Room 19 - faulty Philips Android TV needs replacing - screen colours washed out, volume fixed and very laggy taking several seconds to react to a key press on remote. A frustrating experience. |-First night - Room 19 - bath robes and extra lamp take up too much space. |-Checkout 11am.||Notes:|-It’s 5 minute walk to East Putney Tube station, 10 minutes walk to Putney High Street and 20 minutes walk to Putney Bridge/River Thames. |-In Putney I went to a panto at Putney Arts Theatre and a candlelit carol service at St Mary’s Church. |-I went to the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland (ferris wheel, ice sculptures, circus, Bavarian beer tent). I used the Tube from East Putney to travel into the city. I used my debit card to tap in/out.|-I used an Uber Boat from Putney Pier to Battersea Power Station and Battersea Power Station to Tower Pier.
