A hidden gem of a hotel

Fabulous rooms over a really nice but nice but rowdy pub conveniently located in South London near south bank. Provided a fridge with oat milk and Nespresso machine. Also 10% off drinks at bar.

Super, quirky room, like upcycled Victoriana. Comfy bed with big pillows. Clean and spacious. Very good value. For this price you could stay in a grotty hotel rather than a pleasant room full of character. Walking distance to an event I had in Westminster. I’d stay again without hesitation.

Lovely Room

The location was ideal for our trip to the theatre. The room was lovely and clean upon arrival and the lady that checked us in was very friendly. The room was a bit warm but there were fans provided to cool it down and cold drinks available in an upstairs fridge. As well as plenty of team and coffee
