    No kettle in the room 😱 this was a BIG disappointment for me.

    Nothing

    Everything was amazing. Very nice location - close to the center but in the quite area. Borough market was around the corner. Room was very clean and modern. One of the most comfortable beds that I have slept on. Amazing price/quality ratio!

    Fun, comfortable, clean and friendly

    Whilst I understand the automation of the checking in and out and there were some excellent staff close to hand to help if necessary, I worry about the loss of human interaction and so I see this in a negative light but something not unique to this hotel. ALSO - I would still like tea making facilities in the room - that would be my most negative point.

    The bed was excellent - very comfortable - the room whilst smaller than expected and a little compact, we pleasantly well laid out and worked fine

    The hotel was a great place to stay and visit London.

    The room was quiet and the bed comfortable. If you are sharing with someone you don't know too well, be aware that the toilet and shower areas are only partially separated from the rest of the room.

    The funky atmosphere, the enormous, comfortable sitting area around the bar. Plenty of magazines and newspapers available. The varied breakfast selection to satisfy many tastes. The hotel is close to the Borough Market and the Imperial War Museum.

    Ordering food during the night at the hotel was a terrible experience. Very limited menu.

    Great location. We love Bankside area. Lots of street food, super close to Borough Market, 10 mins walking distance to Southwark and London Bridge subway stations, great breakfast outside the hotel nearby. We skipped the hotel breakfast, and tried local places like The Table and Where the Pancakes Are. Also make sure to get some beer and enjoy the locals at Flat Iron Square near by. You can actually rent bikes from right across the street and ride to subway, or even some close by attractions like the London Eye or Buckingham Palace, etc.

    I had a snack late at night, which was probably past it's best. Maybe it had been reheated in a microwave, or the chef was 'asleep' at the wheel, but the food was pretty poor considering the quality of the hotel.

    Most things, it was comfortable and clean, and fairly close to the Thames and Tate Modern gallery. We like the decor, and enjoyed our stay.

    The room is a bit too small for two people. It is not possible to open the window and the climate control makes the air too dry.

    Great and helpful staff! Nice and quiet rooms with all the necessities. Location is good, lot of restaurants, the train station and underground nearby.
