The hotel is perfectly located right by Borough Tube Station, making it super convenient for exploring London. The rooms are cozy and equipped with a sink, tea/coffee facilities, and a hairdryer, although they could benefit from having air conditioning. The staff are incredibly kind and helpful, always ready to assist guests at any hour of the day or night.

I couldn't believe I had to leave the window open all night even after closing the radiator, and with no elevator, carrying luggage up was a hassle. However, the room was well-equipped for its size, offering storage space, a work desk, a fan, and a TV. It was modern, clean, and perfect for a single business traveler.

Staying at the hotel was a comfortable and enjoyable experience overall. The rooms, while not large, were cozy and provided a nice retreat from the bustling streets of London. However, street-facing rooms were noisier compared to those overlooking the inner courtyard. The service was impeccable, with friendly and helpful staff. The location, right next to Borough Underground Station, was incredibly convenient for exploring the city. The dining experience, especially with dishes sourced from nearby Borough Market, was delicious and convenient. The facilities were satisfactory for a pleasant stay.

My stay was overall pleasant with a few drawbacks. The rooms, while clean, could use some renovation, especially the small bathrooms. The lack of mobile signal in my ground floor room behind the café was inconvenient. However, the shared facilities were well-equipped and impeccably clean, though may not suit everyone's preferences.

My stay at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable, although a bit warm for my liking. They seem to be soundproof, which is a plus. The size is small, but that's expected given the affordable price and central location. The service was exceptional; the staff went out of their way to be helpful and were very attentive to any needs. The location was convenient, being close to public transportation and various attractions, although not very inviting at night. The dining experience was simple but good value for money. Overall, a budget-friendly option with great service and convenience.

The hotel's location is super convenient, just a short walk from Borough tube station for a quick trip to Central London. It's also near Southbank attractions, although the area may not be the most inviting at night. Being above the subway station was surprisingly quiet during the night, though no breakfast was included.

The hotel is a well-priced option in the center with small but adequate rooms, and the staff is helpful and friendly. The location is perfect for easy travel around local destinations, but keep in mind the Borough Tube Station is not operational until April or May. The dining experience was satisfactory with efficient staff, and the premises were found to be clean.

The hotel is a gem in central London, offering cozy rooms overlooking Borough High Street with the cleanest bathrooms. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, making the stay memorable. The location is ideal for sightseeing, just a short walk from Borough Market, Tate, and other attractions, but note that the Borough Tub Station is undergoing maintenance. The dining experience is good, especially at the nearby Riva restaurant, although it can be a bit pricey. Overall, a great value for a comfortable stay with convenient access to the best of London.
