London
On arrival we were greeted by staff & offered fruit, water, sweets. We were made to feel most welcome. Room was a bit small but we only used it to sleep & shower as we were out sight seeing everyday. Room was cleaned & restocked everyday and although the bed was a little bit to hard for my wife’s liking they offered to change rooms but we declined and a extra quilt on top of mattress was enough. We didn’t use the breakfast facilities so cannot comment on them. The hotel is perfectly situated for all sight seeing in London. 5 minute walk from Lambeth North tube station and 15 mins to Westminster one way & 15 to Borough market & the shard the other. Really enjoyed our stay & have no qualms about booking this hotel again.

Very clean 👌 Very small All night yelling and party shouting After thought plumbing so non continuous water suppy and occasional toilet flushing. Great staff Leave in the am and don't return to your room until after room cleaning because hallways are impassable with dirty towels and bedding. Stayed 3 nights and sheets were not changed. Would not stay again.

The service that the hotel and the staff especially Sharam and Sharuk provided was excellent.. we were offered complimentary buffet style breakfast, WiFi, bottled water, fruits and other amenities throughout our stay whereas other hotels in London charged us for everything.. The rooms were cleaned up every single day and all the amenities were stocked up during their each cleaning session.. New towels were also provided each day. The staff were kind and so helpful.. They were so generous to offer and help us in each aspect which we really appreciate.. Definitely hoping to come and stay here during our next trip to the London!!

This was our fust stay at this hotel and at furst appearance i was a little unsure. The staff were incredibly friendly, even showing us to our room. This is where i had that nagging doubt. The room was small with a small double bed against one wall, and a small on suite bathroom. I told myself, its only a base amd that we were here to visit London and not sit around in the room. Once we had spent the evening at our event and came back, i suddenly saw how charming it was. Breskfast was a continental style with plenty of croissants, pan o chocolate and a large pot of baked beans along with the usual bread, jams and butter. The dinning area was quite small including the serving area which of course was self service. But again, it still had a certain charm about it. There was a part of the dining area where there was a section of wall which had been removed which detracted from the charm. In all, the hotel is definitely within walking distances from places like the London eye and The Shard is visible and probably the same distance away as the Eye. All in all, pleasant stay and knowing now how close we were to the city, avoiding the use of the subway, we will certainly consider staying here again.

Warm and friendly welcome at the desk. This hotel has a charm about it. The ensuite room was clean, with a small refrigerator, clean towels, coffee maker, good shower and lovely view. The bed was OK feeling thin and used. Plenty of pillows and good climate in the room.

Outstanding rooms are a bit small but for a building built in 1898 understandable the breakfast well left a lot to desire. I would not call it a continental breakfast more of a something to eat in the morning, but the coffee was good and they did have milk and orange juice.

Hotel was clean and was greeted nicely. Bed was extremely uncomfortable, hard wood frame with 3 inch thick hard mattress, if all the beds are like this I recommend not staying at this hotel. Walls are paper thin, you won’t sleep if your neighbors are awake.
