My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were modern, comfortable, and well-planned out, offering great value for money in an excellent location just a minute's walk to the river. The service was exceptional, with staff members like Ulia, Aisha, and the evening/night shift gentleman being incredibly friendly and helpful. The location was amazing, tucked into a small road near the river, close to Borough Market, local restaurants, and major attractions. The dining experience was delightful, especially in the lounge area with tasty snacks and breakfast options. Overall, a truly enjoyable experience with only a minor issue of some water overflow in the bathroom.

The hotel rooms looked luxury and even better in person, clean, and equipped with many amenities like a kitchenette. However, they needed a hook on the back of the door for coats and had little light facing offices opposite. The service was amazing, especially Ayesha at reception, always helpful, friendly, and accommodating. The location was fantastic with plenty to do nearby and dining options suitable for all tastes. The dining experience was of high quality and comfortable. Overall a comfortable and pleasant stay.
