We stayed on the 2nd floor, and unfortunately, this was one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve had in Europe/UK. The main issue was the noise — the door to the property shuts extremely loudly, and the guests in the room next to ours (201) returned around midnight. Since the shared bathroom is located in the corridor, they kept going in and out until about 2am. Each time, the door slammed so loudly that it was impossible to sleep. It was incredibly inconsiderate, and we barely rested the entire night. On top of that, the fan in the second bathroom wasn’t working, leaving the space with a terrible odor. For the price I paid (over NZD $540 for two nights), I expected much better. You can easily find hotels for around NZD $400 in better locations with far superior comfort and have your own bathroom. The only positive was the staff member who greeted us on arrival — he was very helpful in explaining how to access the room and facilities. Unfortunately, good service couldn’t make up for the poor conditions and lack of comfort.

Unique boutique hotel in south london. Located directly adjacent to the borough street underground station. Very convenient for getting around London. Just 4 blocka to the Borough Market. There is limited access to services of any type from hotel staff. The desk is manned only 8 am to 6 pm, Monday to Friday. There is phone access to someone at all times however. There was no a/c, simply fans in our room but we were given an ice old towel when we checked in and that was absolutely perfect. We were able to keep it cold in the bar fridge in the room. And there is no lift service here...for me with knee issues and a walker it meant a long slow climb to the third floor This property suits younger, active people. Similar in many ways to a hostel.

The location is ok but the hotel offers no amenities or services. The shower's water was cold in the morning and we run out of toilet paper and it was not replaced. No air conditioning in the rooms and the rooms open on a backyard space with noisy plant rooms from commercial shops. No concierge and quite difficult for interacting if guests don't speak English.

This is a lovely property close to cafes, restaurants and public transport. It is within walking distance to London Bridge station for the train to Gatwick Airport. There is no lift and the stairs are quite steep and narrow. Ok if you have a small case or bag. Difficult with a large heavy case. Our king room was very spacious and comfortable with 2 very comfy arm chairs, opening windows, heating and a fan for warmer weather. The bathroom was nice although needed a new toilet seat lid (broken); the grout needed a good scrub and there was quite a bit of black mould. If required, I would stay here again.

Fantastic location! The gentleman at the desk downstairs is very kind and efficient. Few issues I had with my room, He immediately saw to that they were taking care of. Shared bathrooms are kept very clean. No-frills accommodation my room-definitely could use updating. Carpet looked very used and worn. I had bought slippers so that was fine. The layout was a bit awkward. The mirror was placed on the opposite side of the room from the only plug so it was a bit challenging to try and do your hair lol. All in all, for the price, this was ideal for the three days I needed a place to call homebase! The area itself for being busy was quiet at night. I was able to sleep with the window open with minimal disruption from traffic. Traveling alone I felt safe coming and going. The tube station is right next-door and you can catch any bus going either way easily. If needed, I would stay here again.

Close to transit. The carpet in the room didn’t seem clean. There was a lot of outside noise. the bathrooms were decent size and somewhat clean. I wish they had tables to set your things down in the bathrooms. The luggage storage was tight and small. The staff was friendly and helpful. The stay was decent for what we needed for a day.
