I stayed at this hotel and had a wonderful experience. The rooms were clean and comfortable, offering a fantastic view of The Shard and the railway lines entering Waterloo station, like looking down on a full-size train set. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay special, even bringing a cake to our room. However, the service at the reception desk was poor. The location was very convenient, with easy access to the subway station and in walking distance to Borough Market and the river. The dining options were varied with many choices. Overall, a great stay with some minor drawbacks.

I couldn't have asked for a better spot! The hotel had a fantastic view of The Shard and the railway lines entering Waterloo station, like peering down on a full-size train set. The rooms were cozy, equipped with 2 single sofa beds and offering a great view. The service was top-notch, with the staff making extra efforts to bring us a delicious cake right to our room. The location was perfect, within walking distance to Borough Market, the river, and the Southwark business district. However, the dining options, though with many choices, were not included in our rate. Overall, a memorable stay with amazing sights and superb service.
