This Hotel Makes Complicated Light Switches Uncomplicated

Where: Leicester Square, London, United Kingdom, WC2H 7LH

Last week, we moaned about the 10 Annoying Design Flaws that we hate encountering in our hotel stays, one of which was Complicated Light Switches. Well, thankfully, we found an anti-dote to that at the Hampshire Hotel in London's Leicester Square.

This is the light switch panel found next to the bed (actually on both sides of the bed) inside a deluxe king room. See how easy they make it for us? If hotels are going to get all fancy schmancy with their lighting, then subtle directions for us would be nice--even if we did feel a bit like a grandma who needs labels on all her light switches.

But when we were passing out because of jetlag, this made it easy for us to just click and go...to bed.

What do you think? Are these directions helpful or do they make the room look too much like a senior citizen's joint? Let us know in comments below!
