lack of storage sewage smell
the location was acceptable since it was near tottenham court road station.
I was disappointed with the lack of storage space (not even a small shelf!). there was also a strange sewage smell in the halls. It was quite off-putting, especially on my floor, and i did not like it.

restful sleep helpful staff
i found the experience wonderfully peaceful. the complete darkness in the cocoon 1 accessible room made for restful sleep i also found the central location offered easy access to many attractions. the staff was helpful throughout my stay.
i noticed the absence of a physical key which relied solely on a phone app. while i understand it is for limiting contact it would be nice to have a physical option as well. i hope this can be considered for future convenience.
