One night stay

Really lovely staff and friendly check in. The room was comfortable but there were some maintenance issues, the blind was broken, no plug for the sink and some water damage from possibly a roof leak as examples, that being said for our one night stay the bed was very comfy and the room was very quiet, with thoughtful additions such as a fridge with cold still and sparkling water available for free in the hall, and a coffee pod machine as well as sweets for a treat in the room. Plenty of towels provided. There was a 10% discount at the bar for guests, and we were made to feel very welcome every moment of our stay.

Blue room

Great room, location, friendly staff and very nice bar. Easy to walk to lambeth north underground in less than 10 mins. Walking down main road with beautiful area. Quiet at night. Great cafe for breakfast within a few mins walk on the way to Lambeth north called chocolatedinocompamy. Soap dispenser did not work and had leak on base of shower, it still worked but less water pressure to head of shower. Minor things as said above , great location amd good value for money.

Warm, but comfortable hotel.

We stay in the middle of a heatwave, so the room the first night was very warm. Thankfully, they had a fan, sadly they had no extension cord, so we could not put it in front of the window to bring in the cool outdoor air. The next day, I kept the blind down, so the room was not as warm. They had bottled water in a small fridge outside the door, was fantastic. In the fridge, there were also bottles of milk for tea / coffee in the morning.
Geraldine, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed for 2 nights. Loved the place.. the downstairs is a pub. The staff was super friendly and helped us carry our luggage upstairs bc they don’t have elevators. No ac but it was cold when I visited London so it’s not needed. The bed was so comfortable. Bathroom was very spacious. There is a bus stop across the street that takes you to all the tourist places.
Darys, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good location, but too expensive for what they are offering. Very small room with dirty carpet. For milk you need to go to hall, hm inconvenience for me as I like my cup of tea before I go to bed.
Jana, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

It is for me a hostel that is listed as a hotel. It was clean and ok but no lobby, no elevator. Nevertheless personnel were very nice, friendly and helpful. However I recommend the staff to fix the loose water faucet and the shower drain that was blocked.
