8/10

Perfectly comfortable hotel. Walking distance to many of the sights along southbank. Large, quiet room. We couldn't work out how to change between the shower heads but it was all very comfortable, functional and we had a good stay. It was annoying that southwark tube station was shut this weekend as we chose the hotel due to proximity to a tube station on the jubilee line as were going to an event at the O2. Some warning of this would have been good in the many pre arrival emails But otherwise it fit the bill well

10/10

The hotel exceeded my expectations. Staff were extremely welcoming. I was greeted by Alberto on my arrival and he was just so friendly and helpful, and also seemed highly competent. The room was spacious and clean, and I appreciated the complimentary mineral water. Gym was well equipped, and the pool was nice too if slightly cold for my taste. Breakfast was also quite good. Location was convenient an room surprisingly quiet. I thought overall that it was great value and would return.

Front desk was lovely. Easy check in, even though we arrive early they gave us one of the rooms to put our luggage. The gentleman was friendly and vey courteous. House keeping was a different story, actually one of the days our room was not cleaned at all. We made our own bed...
