Family friendly stay

Staff were really helpful and sweet. Loved the ability to use phone app to order room service and ask about any issues/book swimming pool. The pool was very busy during one session but quieter in the next and everything was very clean. Would be great to add in a swim suit dryer to the changing rooms as we came back the next day but my suit was stil wet! Overall really lovely place for families, not far from Waterloo. Pool and inclusive breakfast were a hit for kids :)

Perfectly comfortable hotel. Walking distance to many of the sights along southbank. Large, quiet room. We couldn't work out how to change between the shower heads but it was all very comfortable, functional and we had a good stay. It was annoying that southwark tube station was shut this weekend as we chose the hotel due to proximity to a tube station on the jubilee line as were going to an event at the O2. Some warning of this would have been good in the many pre arrival emails But otherwise it fit the bill well
