Basic but OK

The reception staff was OK but seemed preoccupied. The room was OK, location for work was brilliant. Breakfast was OK would have been nice to have a choice of eggs but it was OK. I would have said probably a little dear for the room. The menu was also not that inviting.

Close to the Waterloo Station, The Tate, great location. Pretty affordable for a London hotel with a good location. Breakfast buffet was big, with lineups in the morning. Not a fan of their scrambled eggs. I believe they are powdered and rehydrated, with an odd texture

The property itself was great. The breakfast was an additional cost and not very good, so I'd recommend to anyone staying to walk to a local coffee shop for breakfast. We had a fire drill at 11pm our first night there. Certainly a pain if you are in the middle of a shower, sleeping, or anything else.

Loud drain noises

Very loud noises coming from drains/pipes in the room on second floor - assumed it was caused by vacuum when others flushed toilet. Informed desk but was basically told there's nothing they can do and they would 'inform maintenance'. Unpleasant, loud and difficult to sleep Otherwise offers a standard basic hotel offering in London at £150 a night
