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.

This is a modest, affordable, pleasant place to stay in a good location. Very nice staff. Renovations in progress when I was there so there was some noise, but that will soon be over. Definitely recommend it!

Overnight charm
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.
