We really enjoyed the hotel. The location was good and walking distance to sights and the Borough Market. The beds were comfortable, and the room was clean. I thought the room was a little small as we had 2 family rooms utilizing the not so comfy sofa beds. With the bed open, you can't utilize drawers or walk around the bed.

The hotel is fantastically located only a few minutes walk from the Tate Modern, walking distance to a few tube lines and Waterloo station. The hotel staff Jessica was very kind and helpful. We flew into London early in the morning, after spending almost 24 hours on the plane, we were all exhausted, she checked us in early so we can have a shower and get changed, and she even offered biscuits. Though they are not that expensive, this nice welcoming gesture made us feel like home. Thank you!

The general service is a little rude, especially for a girl on the reception named Tsiana she is not quite nice, overall all the other members are nice and kind. It seems there’s a lack of training for some staff members. …
