Best value and great location to tour London. Boomers….no need to pay excessively for not being in your room except for sleep. This full of younger folks place is alive with energy and seeking newness that you may have forgotten. Very organized, clean rooms, à la cart offerings, you flexibly pay for what you need. At 8.5 pounds the breakfast works well. Easily walkable to tube and Tower Bridge as well as in a safe area. Staff available at the desk 24/7. Hostel or private room with bath, the garden, common areas, and pub all have character and enrich your experience. At age 68 and 75, we loved being around the younger energy at 1/2 to 1/3 cost of more traditional hotels.
