Basic but good for short stay

Basic hotel but clean and modern, fine for a short stay. Quiet location and very close to Jubilee line. Only quibble was a slightly leaky toilet which made the wetroom a bit smelly by the following morning.

The towel in the bathroom had red stains on it. The room was very rundown and had peelings from the paintwork. There was someone else’s hairs on the towels that stuck to me

Great staff, breakfast, room, and location.

The rooms had been recently redone very nicely. The bed was very comfortable, the chair comfortable, and the room was well laid out, so there was plenty of room. The room cleaning staff was excellent. The front desk staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was sumptuous. There was something for everybody. So worthwhile! The location is fantastic, very close to Tate Modern. I was totally pleased with my stay there.
