Guest Reviews
- Jane (8/5): Great location and great value for money - Location Nothing
- alexandre (8/5): -
- Gerald (9/5): -
- harriet (3/5): This is NOT a hotel - Location This isnt a hotel, nor should it pretend to be. It's a student halls of residence. If I'd lived here when I was a student I'd have been over the moon, but i'm no longer a student.
Also.absolutey freezing cold.
- PC (9/5): Comfortable, convenient and central - Good location for Globe and Tate Mod. Well-equipped, comfortable, though no breakfast possible on our date.
- Valentina Maria (10/5): -
- Eduard (9/5): - Perfect location, great facilities, pleasant personal On our last night, the fire alarm went off. We went down to the reception with some other people, but no one explained what was going on.
- JONATHAN (8/5): -
- Naomi (9/5): - The staff were very supportive, and the rooms were very clean and comfortable.
- Anna (8/5): Jó helyen volt, így választanám legközelebb is. - Étkezést nem lehetett kérni. Több reggelizőhely és bolt volt a közelben. A környék teljesen jó, könnyen megközelíthető. Segítőkész személyzet. Csendes. Kicsivel nagyobb ágynak jobban örültünk volna, viszont kényelmes volt.
- Agostino (8/5): -
- Eve (9/5): Excellent south bank location and brilliant facilities - Great welcome on reception, very clean and spacious room. Lovely and quiet. Really impressive facilitates in the room, comfy bed, good shower, kettle, fridge, TV. Nothing.
- Tom (5/5): Fine for a budget overnight stay and well-placed - The Junior Suite had a small sitting room in addition to the bedroom and bathroom. Everything was clean and towels and toiletries laid out on the bed. The location is great, just off the Southbank, behind Tate Modern. Value is reasonable considering it's central London and they had availability at short notice. The Air bnb rooms are all on the top floor, with no mixing with student rooms as far as I could see. There seemed to be an air conditioning plant outside the window which would have kept me awake had I not had earplugs. There was a ventian blind instead of curtains in the bedroom so, again, my sleep would have suffered had I not had a sleep mask.
- Ian (1/5): Overcharged with no repayment. - Location I paid for a suite, but was only allocated a basic room. Staff unable to rectify even though advised immediately apparent. Worse, they are impossible to contact to get refund of over payment.
- Nick (6/5): Good value - Location to venue No safe drinking water
- Stéphane (10/5): Génial! - Emplacement géographique. Chambre spacieuse

- Enej (7/5): - The hotel's location is excellent, and the breakfast was decent. There was essentially never any warm water available for showering in the morning.
- Sara (9/5): La mejor opción sin grandes lujos - La ubicación, el desayuno, dentro de que es una residencia, está fenomenal todo en general No hay servicio de habitaciones y el secador de pelo hay que pedirlo en recepción pero siempre ha habido disponibilidad
- Enrica (9/5): - Posizione, staff cordiale, colazione varia ed abbondante. Colonnina con filtro per riempire la borraccia con acqua fresca sempre disponibile. Nulla
- Kim (7/5): -
- IRINI (7/5): It's ok. I am not sure if I will be back. But location was great. - The location is great! And the view of the window very nice. Good breakfast! Very basic accommodation. The staff looked sad and not interested to more conversations.
Also they didn't even checked if i could check in earlier, even though I had asked them beforehand.
- Rory (8/5): Overall, amazing value for money. Will return to this accommodation in the future. - Excellent location and breakfast. Room was ideal for solo travellers. Ensuite more than adequate. Overall, amazing value for money. Will return to this accommodation in the future.
- Min-Chun (9/5): -
- Giuliana (9/5): - The location of the residence was unbeatable, just a short walk from Southwark tube station. I really appreciated having a private room, and the breakfast offered plenty of options. The staff were very kind and even provided me with a hair dryer for the duration of my stay. I also liked that my room was equipped with a kettle, a mug, and complimentary tea, instant coffee, and sugar.. Only thing missing was a bin in my room :)
- Ramona (8/5): Ich kann die Unterkunft weiter empfehlen- hat uns gefreut, da wir für wenig Geld einen schönen Aufenthalt hatten. Besond - Sehr Zentral, günstig, super Frühstück Zimmer waren einfach eingerichtet, für den Preis aber ok. Wir waren im Sommer da- es war ziemlich warm im Raum

- SIMON (9/5): access to drinking water merited clear explanation -
- Gabriele (8/5): -
- Ellen (7/5): prijs/kwaliteit - - goede ligging: makkelijk te bereiken + centraal gelegen
- uitgebreid ontbijtbuffet - heel warm tijdens hittegolf
- veel lawaai van andere airco's buiten
- badkamer basic
- Yukie (6/5): -
- Vandenheede (8/5): - Het was een goede locatie. Het hotel ligt niet zo ver van de metro, waardoor je gemakkelijk naar het centrum kan. Het personeel is vriendelijk en het ontbijt is uitgebreid voor de prijs die je betaalt. De kamer was heel basic maar tegenover de prijs die je betaalt was het een redelijke kamer met alles dat je nodig zou hebben om een paar dagen in Londen te verblijven.

- DANIELA (8/5): -
- Urszula (9/5): -
- laura (10/5): - Great hotel! Good breakfast and laundry facilities were a bonus
- Savino (7/5): - La colazione La pulizia
- Jurre (4/5): - * Good food options for breakfast especially nice options for vegetarians/vegans which is not always the case with full English breakfast.
* Good location in central London
* No problems with check-in or -out or with luggage storage after check out. * The fire alarm went of 3 out of the 4 mornings i stayed there. Not only is this an incredibly unpleasant way to have to wake up, but standing in the cold and rain outside for no good reason is not exactly my idea of a nice holiday.
* I understand that it is student accomodation but for something that is being rented out to hotelguests I expected better maintenance of the facilities, especially the room and bathroom. It seems for the last 30 years or so, nothing has been maintained, renewed or upgraded.
- Héloïse (9/5): -
- Carolina (8/5): Great location - Great location, walking distance to the Big Ben and London Bridge. Beautiful neighborhood near pretty bars and pubs, really great to walk at night. Room was okay, clean and big. Breakfast was a very unpleasant experience, a lot of people, a lot of caos, only one coffee machine, long lines, food was okay. Breakfast.
- Carla (9/5): -
- Benjamin (9/5): - Lage, Frühstück es war sehr voll. Es gab Warteschlangen beim Einchecken und beim Frühstück
- Klaus (8/5): -
- Britta (8/5): Perfect city break in excellent location - The location is excellent, right behind Tate Modern with much of central London within walking distance. We have been coming to this accommodation for four summers in a row and we will certainly be back. The breakfast buffet is amazing. So much choice, including vegetarian and vegan options, but also a traditional full English breakfast, pastries, yoghurt, fresh fruit, cereal and porridge. If you arrive before the 3pm check in, you can store your luggage. Same goes for the departure day, you can leave your luggage in their designated (and staffed) luggage room.
- Marie-Agnès (8/5): Bon séjour dans un logement très bien placé - Emplacement super, proche du centre, pas trop loin du métro
Personnel très accueillant, toujours souriant et serviable : possibilité de laisser les bagages avant la remise des clés, prêt d'une prise pour charger le téléphone
Petit déjeuner copieux et varié, très bon Bruit extérieur (soufflerie à côté avec la chaleur) que la fenêtre soit ouverte ou fermée
Pb intermittent de débit d'eau dans la chasse d'eau
- Florencia (9/5): Excelente hogar temporal!!! - La ubicación Que no tenga tele
- Matteo (6/5): -
- Keith (9/5): our third stay. - All is excellent - especially breakfast. rooms of various number of beds xxx
- Daniel (8/5): - La ubicación es muy buena, estás a un paseo andando (teniendo en cuenta el tamaño de la ciudad) de los lugares más emblemáticos de Londres, el desayuno es variado y abundante. Las instalaciones son un poco viejas y están bastante usadas.
- Stanisław (5/5): -
- Dimitris (7/5): I would stay again. - Carpet was old and stained..
- Natalia (10/5): Perfecto en familia - Un alojamiento perfecto para ir en familia, bien ubicado y todo limpio. Las instalaciones no son nuevas pero relación calidad, precio y ubicación en Londres es perfecto Se podría renovar un poco las instalaciones
- Purificación (8/5): Fenomenal para viaje de estudiantes - Todo correcto para un viaje con amigos, buena ubicación, limpio y desayuno bueno.
La moqueta olía pero como en todos los hoteles de Inglaterra
- Michela (8/5): - la posizione e' fenomenale se piace camminare, perche' la metro e' a 10 minuti, ma la colazione e' fenomenale. non c'e' l'aria condizionata e nemmeno il ventilatore
- Alessandra (8/5): - Faboluous breakfast and central position! They do not clean daily the room
- Karolina (9/5): -

- Federica (5/5): -
- Marta (8/5): -
- Elle (10/5): - The breakfast had a great selection of foods and drinks, also for vegans and vegetarians! Room was clean and spacious, beds good to sleep in and toilet had all the basics you could need! Quality-price ratio is amazing, highly recommended :) The lack of AC is a little minus but luckily you can open the window, it worked well enough for us!
- Jack (8/5): -
- Deborah (9/5): Value for money, great location - Excellent location, great value for money, friendly check in and out. Plenty of breakfast options. Room was basic but functional. Stuffy with windows shut, noisy with them open (but central, so outside noise to be expected). Got to relive that student digs vibe 😊
- Susana (6/5): - La ubicación y el desayuno muy bien No había aire acondicionado
- Diana (5/5): Regular - Es un poco confuso y pequeño Pasillos estechos
- Maria Costanza (8/5): Buon rapporto qualità-prezzo - La colazione è stata super e la posizione è ottima! Acqua del rubinetto non potabile e moquette.
- LEONARD (8/5): -
- Marcel (8/5): Centraal gelegen hotel. Basic kamer maar prima voor een stedentrip in Londen - Prima lokatie in Londen, op loop afstand van de Tower Bridge. Verder zijn er twee metro stations in de buurt. Personeel is vriendelijk. De Prijs-kwaliteit verhouding is in orde. De kamers zijn redelijk basic. Er kan een rij staan bij het ontbijt. Dit kwam 1 maal voor in 3 dagen verblijf in het weekend.
- Emilia (8/5): Für kurze Aufenthalte sehr gut, tolle Lage und leckeres Essen. - Das Frühstück war sehr lecker, es gab auch vegane Optionen.
- Estelle (8/5): le rapport qualité /prix est imbattable - l’établissement est très bien situé
quartier à côté du Tate modern muséum, métro qui dessert la gare de pancras , restaurant, pub , marché, courses
c’est une résidence étudiante louée pendant les vacances il y a la possibilité de faire réchauffer et de cuisiner à chaque étage
le petit déjeuner est très très copieux les chambres sont spartiates et ça peut être bruyant

- MIRAI (6/5): -
- Prithvirajsingh (8/5): Very nice experience. Would surely prefer this in my next trip. - Excellent location, polite staff and good value for money. London summers are turning out to be really hot. There should be a pedestal fan in the room.
- Stephen (8/5): -
- Porrino (7/5): Sono stata bene - La posizione eccellente Nelle camere non c'è un mini frigo
- Michael (8/5): -
- Trevor (9/5): Perfect location and excellent breakfast - Location and breakfast both excellent p)
- Elaine (9/5): Great value for money for a short stay - Excellent location. Fabulous breakfast spread, loads of choice, very fresh. Beds very short for my tall husband. 3 beds in what is essentially a single room very tight but manageable for a quick overnight
- VANESSA (10/5): - Excelente por el precio 👍🏻
- Lucia (8/5): - The breakfast was superb. Every type of food requirement was met, and the kitchen staff were lovely and friendly. The location was really wonderful, close to buses and underground. It was perfect for an international visitor on a short term visit. I loved the multicultural and multi-generational aspect of the restaurant in the mornings, before I was off for the day. There's nothing negative to report. The accommodation was as described.
- Hasan (10/5): -
- Susannah (8/5): -
- Jenny (10/5): Superb location, everything we needed. Excellent breakfast and value for money. -
- María (9/5): -
- Alexander (9/5): Clean, central location stay that fits in your budget vacation - A great central location. They had breakfast available but we did not partake so I don't know how good or bad it was. The building is clean and quiet and has everything you need. Room was more spacious than anticipated. Great place to stay overall. The check in process. Like, I get you can't let people in early, but you could have gotten all of the information you needed (ID, passport, address, etc.) when we dropped our bags instead of at check in when everyone was trying to do the same.
- Klara (10/5): Everything was great and the value was incredible! - We absolutely enjoyed our stay in this hotel/dorm! The photos exactly showed us what we should expect, everything was clean and beds suprisingly very comfortable. At night it was quiet which was a big plus. The two main highlights were the location and the absolutely amazing breakfast! The choice was incredible and the offer was different every day which I was really suprised about. The only unpleasant thing was that the door from the bathroom were squeaky and when you flush the toilet at night, it makes a lot of noise for long time. But it was definitely nothing too bad to reduce the great feeling we had about this place.
- Brenda (10/5): - Tout Il faudrais juste rafraîchir les chambres
- Kheira (10/5): -
- YIQI (10/5): -
- FRANCESCA (9/5): Comodo, accogliente e amichevole. - Colazione ricca e abbondante. Posizione molto comoda e non affollata dai grandi flussi turistici. Farei un po’ di manutenzione alle camere, come ridipingere le pareti. Metterei un miscelatore al lavandino del bagno al posto dei due rubinetti separati.
- Ana Belen (8/5): - La ubicación Nada
- Neil (10/5): Only a brief stay but on what we experienced nothing to dislike. - Friendly courteous service, comfortable room, excellent breakfast. Nothing whatsoever to complain about.
