“OK but marred by poor value.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2012

This is probably the most expensive hotel I have stayed in- but that may have been down to the rate charged to my company- and was poor value for money. It is a fair walk from tube so on a wet day taxis were the only real option.Room was ready at lunchtime when I arrived. OK but had slightly strange... More

Reception staff were very friendly and welcoming, we felt like things were not a bother for them. The room was really nice and modern. Ideal location and reasonably priced with that in mind. We were staying for the London marathon - so they even opened the restaurant early (0500) for the runners - a really appreciated touch. Breakfast was excellent... More

My stay was fine. Rooms were clean - a little tight, but to be expected in London. My only complaint - no moisturizing cream!! Never stayed at a hotel that did not have it. Location of hotel was good for the Eye and Tate Modern. Would go back.

The reviews do this hotel justice. We booked less than a week before due to finding out the hotel we had arranged to stay in had terrible reviews on here ( I trust Tripadvisor! ). We got a great deal, the breakfast was lovely and plenty of it and we were given a late check out free of charge. Within... More

I had a brief stay at this hotel when I was attending an event over at St Pauls. A very business-like hotel it is clean functional and comfortable but nothing stands out to make it special.
