Great location for the river, within walking distance of the Thames, The Globe, the undergroynd system. Some good small local London pubs can be found only a few streets away which offered fantastic value for money meals and great beers (Tip here is to go to back street hidden away pubs, the meals are always home made and brillant and the beers are from local english breweries and not run of the mill ones that you could drink back home). I was part of a party booked and we were given a free upgrade on our room which was very clean and very large!. With breakfast we paid ?35 in total per night !!! fantastic value. The breakfast was a free for all and as the offer was so good the hotel was packed so it was a bit of a bun fight to get your breakfast but for that price you can not complain. Would I go back again, yes, staff were friendly and helpful and lets face it with so much to do and see you do not want to spend time in your hotel, it is only a base and I highly recommend this as your base if you come to London.
