Hotel Maxim

I've been staying here every couple of years since the Maxim first opened. I always ask for a room at the rear of the hotel to avoid the traffic noise as the windows are not double glazed. Doors do not have rubber seals and the hallways are tiled. Rooms and bathrooms are spacious and room 210 also had a single bed in the room. During my 2 night stay it was very quiet as it was near the end of the hallway and I don't think that there were many other guests. The block out curtains and the reverse cycle aircon worked well. Many English TV channels. Nice white fluffy towels but the hot water took ages to arrive on my first night. My bathroom had a bidet. No kettle in the room but there is a minbar. Breakfast was included in my room rate but is very average- basic pot coffee, ham, cheese, toast and jams. I did like the- partly fresh- fruit salad, though.

I stayed here for nearly three months. A good place to stay, with and exceptional restaurant downstairs.
