I had a double room with unsuited bathroom. The bed was comfortable, the hot water reliable, and the atmosphere was quiet and relaxed. I won't mention the joy of dragging my luggage up 6 flights of stairs 😆, but lack of a lift is to be expected at moderate-priced London hotels. Location was great, right next door to Borough tube station, and a short walk to Borough Market, the Globe Theater, and Tate Modern. Would stay again.

It was okay. Nothing special, the hallways were grubby and rooms were smaller than they looked on the website. Apart from that it good for a one night stay.

I got a room with a shower. The bathroom was spotless, freshly remodeled I would think. However, the bedroom walls were dirty, stained. I am sure it will look good if painted. The WiFi wasn’t available so couldn’t connect to the internet. Overall, I think it’s okay considering the price as it’s very affordable for London.

The room was good, couldn’t hear anyone else. Superking deluxe room is just two singles pushed together which was frustrating as they kept sliding apart and there was someone’s takeaway left in a shelf in the cupboard from the person staying before. Otherwise it was good

Value for money option. No lights shining in from outside or blinking in the room (other than necessary). Surprisingly quiet. I was apprehensive about the mobile phone operated door lock but it worked without a hitch. The room was basic but bed and sink in the room clean.
