Kew Rooms

The Spanish guy who let us in was friendly and extremely helpful. He helped us move the furniture round, helped us make tea, and worked hard to resolve problems. He was great to chat to. Location was good. The bed didn't collapse during the night.

We had the sense that no one had ever tried the room out since it was turned into a bedroom for guests. The sink didn't drain. The television was on a chest of drawers with no way of stretching the aerial cable to its socket. There was no kettle. There was no sound insulation for the window, so very noisy. The door bell was just outside the room, so we were disturbed when anyone arrived unable to get in. The key that we were given didn't fit the room door (lucky we checked while someone was there). The toilet seat didn't fit the toilet. The chest of drawers was full of someone else's things. There was no bulb in the ceiling light. We moved the furniture round so that the television could be connected to the aerial socket, but could only do that by blocking the wardrobe with the sofa.
