It was my second stay at this hotel and it is now definitely my favourite in London! Love the vibe and the young and nice staff. Rooms are both stylish and comfortable and even baby friendly: there is a fantastic design chair in the room that is perfect for nursing! Easily accessible with strollers
SwitzerlandBreakfast was excellent, and service very good. Especially liked my coffee being topped up without having to ask!
United KingdomFabulous modern hotel, very well appointed, lovely deep comfortable beds and great Bar scene both in the cocktail bar upstairs and the more casual ones on the ground floor
United KingdomAfter having to wait for a while to check in (their system was down) I was upgraded to a fantastic room
United KingdomThe staff are always so incredibly helpful and polite. Everyone you pass in the corridors always smiles and says "hi, have a nice day" for example. late checkout as standard at midday is also a bonus.
United KingdomI booked for my 60th birthday and my with wanted to do something special, so called the concierge to arrange and spoke to Chiara and thought she was very attentive and professional and the whole experience was great. The views from the room of the Thames and local landmarks was exceptional. When we checked out Chiara was there are my wife expressed her gratitude and thanked her for helping out. I would recommend this hotel and it's in easy walking distance from Blackfriars underground and also a short walk to the Shard, tower of london and all the other main attractions in london.
United KingdomAs the room rate fluctuates when you stay here, to me the hotel is great value when the price is right and a standard room is worth it. When inflated at weekends or holidays there are other hotels better value. I left my charger in the room and went into a taxi straight away. I emailed and while very good email communication I was disappointed the charger was no longer there. That said have stayed at this hotel a number of times and I’m sure will do so again.
AustraliaSpa massage fantastic, view from bar over Thames and cocktails creative, even enjoyed cinema. Room good size for London.
SwitzerlandStaff very friendly, lowest price room still excellent even with view of offices. 12th Knot cocktail bar night club really enjoyable and great views.
United KingdomGreat looking place, super friendly staff and great breakfast.
