Carpets were dirty and old, no robes, slippers etc and the towels were extremely thin. The rooms were not well maintained, rust on fixtures and hardware. Tidy but very outdated. Gym was decent in comparison to other hotels. Staff were friendly.

Great Hotel in Southwark borough close to London bridge bus and tube stops and walking distance to borough market. Great rooms, staff and breakfast.
