Hotel California was good value...

Liked: Reception staff were pleasant.Convenient location, room was fine for one person, would be crowded if two persons with luggage.Breakfast at Megaro was excellent, nice space there and friendly staff.
Disliked: I waited a long time because when she saw my suitcase, the nice lady on reception offered me a room on the ground floor instead of the one allocated to me ... my bad, the hotel has no lift, the stairs are steep and narrow, my room was to be up several flights, seems there was no one to actually help me with the suitcase which wasn't huge but weighted 17 kgs.Then I did wait a long time because the room was being cleaned, how long does cleaning a room take ?, I waited at least 25 mins, is that a long time ?The heating radiators in London are a mystery to the uninitiated, there's no such thing where I come from. Seems to me, the radiator heater should be turned on when the room is about to be occupied. I not sure the radiator even worked. No instructions are provided, nor are there instructions for the TV or a guide to the channels. The point about a hotel, is that no one staying in the hotel comes from that place .. instructions would be nice. The shower taps in London are also a mystery to someone who doesn't come from London ... everywhere I stayed over 15 nights presented a puzzle in the shower about how to access the rain shower vs the hose shower, no instructions, ever !!
