We wanted a hotel in Southwark because we were going to the Globe. This location was good, the rooms are small and basic but very clean and the self-serve breakfast included a choice of eggs, toast, croissants, yogurt and cereals plus coffee or tea and juice. The staff was very professional and accommodating. If you are looking for luxury this isn't it, but it was everything we needed.

10/10 Would Stay Again!

The room was clean, and the staff were courteous, professional, and helpful. The hotel provided a few little extras that made the guest feel so welcomed and special. The bed was quite stiff, but it didn’t negatively impact my sleep at all.

Wonderful friendly welcome. Offered sweets, fruit and I was given a beautiful rose 🌹❤️ Made to feel welcome and special which is such a unique experience these days. Lovely quirky old building that has been renovated into this hotel. Spotlessly clean throughout. Rom was clean and a proper 3rd bed, not a fold out bed, which our son appreciated. Room had fresh fruit, water, tea, coffee and delicious biscuits and a small fridge. Perfect! Will stay here again when back visiting our family ❤️ Thank you all for a fabulous visit and look forward to next time 🤩

Not great

Room was very small, considering we booked a double room. The fridge was so noisy at night. The Bed was uncomfortable. The hot water in the shower and taps took ages to get hot. My friend had a luck warm shower yesterday, which was disappointing for him 🤔 You could hear everything in speaking in the nextroom.

Bedding and overall room had long black hair. I had breakfast included which I was not even mentioned about and I went at 10:00 in morning, when it finished. Blind on sky window didn't close all the way. TV was directed sideways from bed which was hard to watch.
