The location is ok but the hotel offers no amenities or services. The shower's water was cold in the morning and we run out of toilet paper and it was not replaced. No air conditioning in the rooms and the rooms open on a backyard space with noisy plant rooms from commercial shops. No concierge and quite difficult for interacting if guests don't speak English.

Close to transit. The carpet in the room didn’t seem clean. There was a lot of outside noise. the bathrooms were decent size and somewhat clean. I wish they had tables to set your things down in the bathrooms. The luggage storage was tight and small. The staff was friendly and helpful. The stay was decent for what we needed for a day.

This is a lovely property close to cafes, restaurants and public transport. It is within walking distance to London Bridge station for the train to Gatwick Airport. There is no lift and the stairs are quite steep and narrow. Ok if you have a small case or bag. Difficult with a large heavy case. Our king room was very spacious and comfortable with 2 very comfy arm chairs, opening windows, heating and a fan for warmer weather. The bathroom was nice although needed a new toilet seat lid (broken); the grout needed a good scrub and there was quite a bit of black mould. If required, I would stay here again.

Fantastic location! The gentleman at the desk downstairs is very kind and efficient. Few issues I had with my room, He immediately saw to that they were taking care of. Shared bathrooms are kept very clean. No-frills accommodation my room-definitely could use updating. Carpet looked very used and worn. I had bought slippers so that was fine. The layout was a bit awkward. The mirror was placed on the opposite side of the room from the only plug so it was a bit challenging to try and do your hair lol. All in all, for the price, this was ideal for the three days I needed a place to call homebase! The area itself for being busy was quiet at night. I was able to sleep with the window open with minimal disruption from traffic. Traveling alone I felt safe coming and going. The tube station is right next-door and you can catch any bus going either way easily. If needed, I would stay here again.

The accommodation is next to Brough tube station so has good transport links. It is very convenient for Borough High Street and Borough Market. A short walk to London Bridge or the Thames path. A good variety of places to eat close by. The shared bathroom was very clean but would benefit from hooks to hang towels, clothes etc. Room was small but well equipped with sink, tea tray and tv but not all the plugs worked, nor did the over-bed lamp. It was in need of decoration in Dec 2024. Location is convenient for transport links and room was acceptable for a short stay where we just needed a warm clean place to sleep.

Great hotel. Great location. Friendly staff. Clean. Comfy bed. Smallish room but good for a short stay. Inner glazing helped with noise. Will be coming back.
