The towel in the bathroom had red stains on it. The room was very rundown and had peelings from the paintwork. There was someone else’s hairs on the towels that stuck to me

Great staff, breakfast, room, and location.

The rooms had been recently redone very nicely. The bed was very comfortable, the chair comfortable, and the room was well laid out, so there was plenty of room. The room cleaning staff was excellent. The front desk staff was extremely friendly and very helpful. The breakfast was sumptuous. There was something for everybody. So worthwhile! The location is fantastic, very close to Tate Modern. I was totally pleased with my stay there.

Great stay

We had a great stay and our daughter loved how ceeative housekeeping was every day making her bed with her stuffies in a new and different way. Sadly we had some bugs in our room, which is annoying but hotel cant control nature but it was annoying. We did have rude waiter the night we ate supper at hotel, because we were waiting for husband to join before ordering this led to them just ignoring us. Husband asked for a pitcher of water, they brought the tiniest class, repeatedly tried to get bill, noone would come. As professionals, to treat us badly because we are waiting on someone is ridiculous

The room was clean and had good amenities. The staff were always friendly. We ate out every meal just because we wanted to, not because we didn't like the hotel restaurant, which seemed to have a good atmosphere and looked clean. The only thing I would have changed would be that the room was a bit clinical; it lacked a warm, cosy feel, which subconsciously made it feel cheaper than some other, let's say more advertised on TV, offerings. Other than that, it was a great base for a few days city break!
