Guest Ratings & Reviews
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was fantastic, with a great view and many thoughtful touches in the room, but the air conditioning didn't work properly. The bed was enormous and super comfy, providing a good night's sleep.
The hotel had some thoughtful touches in the rooms with a very comfortable bed, but unfortunately, the air conditioning didn't work. Overall, it offered good value with nice small details.
The hotel offers rooms with a good view of the Shard, quiet ambiance, and quality decor. The bed is exceptionally comfortable with nice small details that add value, but the lack of a drop-off area by taxi created a slightly unsafe situation. The location is convenient for Southbank and the city center, especially the Seabird restaurant. Dining options, including porridge at £9, were satisfactory. Overall, a comfortable stay with attention to detail and good service but could improve safety measures for drop-offs.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room had an enormous super comfy bed with many thoughtful touches, but unfortunately, the air con didn't work. The location was downhill towards Borough Market with plenty of dining options, but the lack of a drop-off area made it feel unsafe. The facilities were decent, but the dining prices were surprisingly high.
The hotel is ideally located in the vibrant South Bank area, close to Borough market with a plethora of dining options nearby. The rooms feature enormous super comfy beds, offering great value for the price. While the dining includes some options like a bowl of porridge, the smoked salmon is a highlight. However, the pricing for some dining items may not suit all guests.

The dining experience was satisfactory, and the facilities met expectations.
