Location was great, rooms were lovely. The staff was not the best, it seemed that helping you or serving you was disturbing their day. The best service was from the guys behind the bar, those guys were great.

Carpets were dirty and old, no robes, slippers etc and the towels were extremely thin. The rooms were not well maintained, rust on fixtures and hardware. Tidy but very outdated. Gym was decent in comparison to other hotels. Staff were friendly.

Great Hotel in Southwark borough close to London bridge bus and tube stops and walking distance to borough market. Great rooms, staff and breakfast. I will definitely continue to stay here when in London as it is centrally located and very much worth the price compared to other hotels of this caliber in London.

This hotel is in a very safe area with coffee shops and healthy quick bite options directly across the street. Staff were excellent and when we needed some emergency paper work printed, they were very helpful and printed off the necessary papers for us. I will stay here again in the future.
