“This property's central location, near the tube, puts the city's landmarks within easy reach; plus, the on-site bar featuring craft beer and live music gives it a distinct character. However, some past visitors have noted some minor issues relating to room upkeep and inconsistent service. For a traveler on a budget, this could be a smart base of operations.”

surprisingly quiet and convenient

good room size ample space numerous sockets qr code service
the room was a good size with plenty of space for luggage, which i appreciated. i found many plug sockets, a big plus, and i liked that the window actually opened to let in fresh air. ordering extra pillows and towels via qr code was so cool (it reminded me of deliveroo!). the maids who serviced the rooms were friendly too.
the reception staff sometimes seemed a bit preoccupied with their computers and phones.

the hotel offers a qr code system for ordering amenities, a modern reception area with ample seating, and rooms equipped with kettles and ironing boards, very useful. a window that opens provides fresh air.

the breakfast offers a full buffet with many options and i was glad there was a pay-as-you-go option. there were also plenty of coffee and bakery shops in the surrounding area to choose from.

adequate, but issues encountered

inattentive staff cute atmosphere
the location to the tube station was very helpful.
the reception staff seemed inattentive, often preoccupied with computers rather than assisting guests, and this affected the cute atmosphere one expects at a hotel.

The room had plenty of plug sockets! it was nice having a window that opened so i could let in fresh air. proximity to the southwark tube station is really convenient as it's very close. i liked scanning a qr code to order pillows and towels. It felt very modern.
