    All the staff are so nice and welcoming. The breakfast is fantastic and excellent value for money. I like that the reception is staffed 24 hrs .

    I think the food would be kept hotter if there was a plastic cover available, as if you want toast you have to sort that after you have got your cooked breakfast.

  • Great location and super breakfast

    8.0

    Great location. Very helpful and friendly reception staff. Excellent choice of food for breakfast. Luggage storage was useful. Easy to find.

    Would have liked a basin in the room. Having to get drinking water from the kitchen a long way from the room, which was ok, but not v.convenient. Room doors could do with a fresh coat of paint.

  • It was basic and nothing like the photos on the website

    5.0

    Good location

    This was a hall of residence and not a hotel. Very dissatisfied and badly advertised.

  • If you’re down for a night and can put up with a lumpy bed then I’d recommend - in fact I’m happy to be going back again

    7.0

    Location is very central - on the south side of the Tate Modern. The best breakfast I’ve had in London - what a selection.

    Its student digs so wasn’t surprised by the lumpy mattress and solitary pillow. Grateful I wasn’t there during the heatwaves as the windows don’t open particularly wide.
