The location is close to all main transport means. The room is a bit small, but OK for a short stay. Attiutde of staff members is very nice.

Nir Switzerland

Room is great. Great concept. And the general area with the bar and seats/sofas is very nice.

modern decor, modern electronics, excellent staff.

Gaeth United States of America

Location is fine. Would prefer breakfast be different for some days. Good ambiance. Staffs are courteous and approachable.

Yoke Malaysia

Comfortable hotel, great location just behind the Tate Modern, cool technology in the room too!

Heledd United Kingdom

Overall a very nice and clean hotel. Maybe a bit small but for a short period, is just fine. It is quite far from the center. Yes the underground\buses are convenient but when you have to spend 2 hours each day to go there and back, it's a bit disappointing. And I'm not sure we saved much by staying in "cheaper" hotel.

Natalie Israel

I loved the style of the room and the features of the iPad control made everything easy. The breakfast was fantastic, I wish I could have had more! Checking in with the touch screen was easy and the whole place has an awesome vibe from the decor, furniture music and the staff.

Jack United Kingdom

Check-in and facilities were amazing and so convenient! The hotel was exactly as described and the room was small but perfectly-formed. The rainfall shower was an unexpected luxury and the option to purchase late check-out was a wonderful treat. The menu was very limited with items sold out or not available, but when London is on your doorstep that's not a huge deal. Incredibly well-stocked bar as well. Last but not least, the staff were all wonderful.

Lily United Kingdom

Location, location, location. Sensible and perfect nest in a rather quiet neighborhood. Easily accessible to central locations: Tate Modern, Borough Market, National Theatre, Young Vic/Old Vic, St Paul’s, and more.

Staff was very helpful and exceptional, good value and has everything you need
