Aparthotel Adagio London Sutton Point

Single beds

No open windows

Everything was fine except very displeasing firealarms, two weekly exercices, two toaster alerts, one at six a.m during our 17 nights stay. Besides, our apartment hotel was very cosy, quiet, and the staff mostly serviceable. Mentions to Clarence, Izzi, Emmanuella and Jasmine for small details. Bravo.

The hotel is situated right next to the Sutton London trainstation, with a direct connection to London Victoria Station from where you can basically go anywhere in the center via Underground services. The hotel itsself is spaceous, with a breakfast / lunch / dinner lobby on the first floor that includes a small bar. Reception is available 24/7 for questions. Staff is mostly young (and thus somewhat uninterested as we all were at that age) but overall helpful and gets the job done. The room (I was in 809) was spaceous enough, with a queen bed. I'm 6'3" and I had to lay in it horizontally for most of the trip, so tall people may want to take this into account. The room had a TV (I didn't use it) and a kitchen with a fridge, dishwasher, oven, cooking unit and a washer / dryer. Bathroom is simple, shower only, but does the job. Large mirror there, and well lit. There are bus stops near the hotel, and High Street is just around the corner and provides you with a large selection of bars, pubs, stores and two small malls. As in most of Europe, nail salons and phone shops are taking over in most of the area, but there are still some fun shops. For shopping you will want to travel to London mostly anyway. You can do that by using the Southern Train service that goes to and from London quite a few times every hour. Will take you about 35 to 40 minutes usually. I used that time to do research regarding where I wanted to go and what underground train to take so in that sense it wasn't too bad.

There was a draft in the room. I thought it was the airconditioning, which I was unable to turn off. I contacted staff and they were helpful and had the maintanance guy look at it who promptly fixed the airconditioning. However on day three of my stay I found it was actually the little air vent in the middle of the room that was causing the draft. I get a cold quite easily from such drafts, so that was not ideal but I guess with a large building like that there's always going to be little things like this and the rest of the room made up for it. Something to keep in mind is that the big mirror in the bathroom is heated to prevent condensation. This works wonders, but since the bathroom is small it heats up pretty fast in there, and as a result of that leaving the door open will heat up your room pretty fast. On the other hand, it was always nice and comfy in the bathroom, never cold. You just have to remember to close the door. Overall this hotel was way better than I expected.
