Excellent location The rooms especially the bathrooms are very very tied, but for £100 a night in London overlooking London Bridge, you can’t really complain, but I had no desire to eat there because of how poor the bathroom was.

The place was great, very convenient with the restaurant and the snack area with coffee and amenities. The only thing that was inconvenient was the Check in. Took us an hour after a long trip. The system was down or I don’t know what happened, but check in was at 3pm sharp and a long long line of people. The self check in was not available so that was very frustrating
