The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters

The Queens Hotel & Victoria Cloisters

8/10 Good
"booked the 1 bdrm apartment, not what i expected, i dont know why they showed a picture of it looking out over the river, i think thats misleading to say the least. besides that, we did get an unrequired 2bdrm, 1 for us and other was for our suit cases??? Washing machine would have been the hi-lighting feature overall."
