Nice and neat

The hotel was very nice and neat. The location was perfect for us, within walking distance from central locations. We recommend this hotel if you need a affordable place for sleeping close to central London.

Vittorio

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
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.

Unique boutique hotel in south london. Located directly adjacent to the borough street underground station. Very convenient for getting around London. Just 4 blocka to the Borough Market. There is limited access to services of any type from hotel staff. The desk is manned only 8 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday. There is phone access to someone at all times however. There was no a/c, simply fans in our room but we were given an ice old towel when we checked in and that was absolutely perfect. We were able to keep it cold in the bar fridge in the room. And there is no lift service here...for me with knee issues and a walker it meant a long slow climb to the third floor This property suits younger, active people. Similar in many ways to a hostel.

Excellent Hotel. Spotless.

This hotel is in a great location. Just renovated to a very high standard. Staff are lovely. Bourogh market is a short walk away and Tube station just next door. Fridge in room, teas and coffee. No elevator. Only issue is if your late checkout it’s £50 per hour. So be careful.

No towels?!

Unmanned property. Check in was straightforward, but upon entering my room I discovered no towels. Difficult to address that when the property is unmanned. Never worth the £150 I paid in a million years.
