Reviews and Ratings
I stayed at the hotel and found the rooms pleasant and nicely appointed, although they were a bit warm and stuffy despite the cool fall weather outside. The service was a mix of helpfulness and some unhelpful interactions. The location was fantastic for exploring London, but the dining experience had some room for improvement.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were smaller than Premier Inn but had a reasonable sized comfortable bed. They were smart, modern, and very clean, offering great views. The location was excellent for exploring London’s main attractions, and the dining options were good, though not suited for certain breakfast preferences.
The hotel location is great for exploring South Bank attractions, with a short walk to Borough Market and Covent Garden. Rooms are dated and not the best value for money, but accessible for guests with disabilities. Service was mixed, with some delays but quick response to issues like alarms. The dining options were adequate, and the location is vibrant during the day but may feel risky at night.
The hotel was spotlessly clean and in very good condition, making it a great value for money stay. The service was lovely and very accommodating, and the location was perfect, especially for walking to sites and restaurants. The dining experience was pretty good, offering everything needed for a quick breakfast. The newly updated rooms set up to the latest standards saved time and were a comfortable retreat.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. Despite the rooms being a bit cramped for two adults and a child, they were quiet with nice dust sheets in front of the door. The location was excellent, just a 5-minute walk from the hotel, allowing easy access to the city via tube services. The service was exceptional, responding to my call promptly and being friendly and accommodating, especially after a long flight. However, the dining options were limited, and I wished for more variety, especially for those with dietary restrictions.
My stay at this hotel was really nice! The room was a good size with a comfy bed and a nice shower. However, it was quite warm during the night, and I didn't realize there was air-conditioning despite being close to the railway viaduct. The service was exceptional, especially Sheldon at the front desk, who was very helpful and friendly. The location was excellent, with a nice view of the city and many restaurants around, making it convenient to visit attractions like the Tower of London hassle-free. The dining experience was good, with lots of variety, although it could have been better. Overall, it was a comfortable stay with a good value for the price.
The hotel has a convenient location for exploring London's attractions, but the rooms need improvement in terms of comfort and maintenance. The service was a mixed experience, with some staff going above and beyond while others lacked responsiveness. The dining options were underwhelming, but there were some positive aspects to the facilities.
The hotel offered clean and comfortable rooms despite being busy. The breakfast service was efficient, no waiting for food to be replenished. Friendly staff made the stay pleasant, although some areas could be improved.
My stay at the hotel was very pleasant. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and equipped with good bathrooms; however, they could get quite warm at night as I didn't realize there was air conditioning available. The hotel was very crowded around 8.30. The service was exceptional, with some staff being very welcoming and others a bit miserable during check-in. The location is convenient, especially for exploring the sights near Tower Bridge. The dining experience had its highs and lows, with some good dishes but also some disappointing options. Overall, it was a good value for money stay.
My stay at the hotel was just what I needed - comfortable and quiet. The location near Waterloo station was super convenient for me, and the cleanliness of the room exceeded my expectations. I appreciated the prompt response from the housekeeping staff when I needed assistance. However, the extra charge for a taxi arranged by the hotel raised some questions about the service quality.
My stay at this hotel had its ups and downs. The room, though small and noisy next to the lift, had good air conditioning and a lovely bathroom. The location was incredibly convenient for the London Marathon, with easy access to London Bridge Station for transportation. However, the room didn't match the website's depiction.
The hotel rooms were warm and clean, which was lovely to come back to, but they smelt strongly of nasty toilet cleaner. The service was super friendly and helpful, even providing an extra radiator upon request. The location was fabulous, being very near to Tate and close to all restaurants, markets, and the metro. The dining experience had a nice variety, although it could use better ingredients. Overall, a great location with friendly staff, but some room scent issues and dining improvements needed.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, while clean and comfortable with nice showers, felt a bit small for a full week stay. The service was welcoming and the staff very apologetic. The location is fantastic for walking to various attractions and dining options, though the dining area was congested during my visit. The hotel offers decent value for money considering the great location.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The room was fine, with a separate sofa bed and ample space, and surprisingly quiet despite being roadside. The service was excellent, with friendly and helpful staff who went above and beyond to accommodate us. The location was superb, close to many attractions and easily accessible from St Pancras station. The dining experience was okay, with a good selection at breakfast. Overall, it was a great value for the location and service provided.
