The staff are lovely the rooms are clean with very adequate facilities. The interent is kinda overpriced as well as the laundry facilities but the price of the accomodation itself makes this not worth worrying about. Had a fantastic time. Great value! more

I struggle to find where to begin. I'll start by saying a little about the purpose of my trip/trips to London this summer and you will get a better idea. I am studying law and intend to study at the bar. Thus I was doing several mini-pupillages this summer. A mini-pupil is an intern barrister for those of you who... more

A real find for a solo traveller on a budget Bankside House is literally at the back of the Tate Modern in London. A 1930's art deco building, with aproximately 600 rooms. Easy to get to by public transport (from Waterloo station) Buses RV1 or 381 stop nearby. Southwark tube is the nearest tube stop. The building and my room... more

Location: Fantastic! Right behind the Tate Modern. It's a quiet, upscale, safe area and you are 5 min. from the millenium bridge. For evening walks along the Thames, this place cannot be beat! Building: It's fine from the outside. The reception area is bare and basic. On the right, there is a very worn brown leather couch to sit on... more

It has been the tradition of our group to stay at Bankside for 4 nights at the end of July for several years and normally it has not been an issue. However, this past year was the worst experience. When we first arrived it was caotic because the front desk did not seem to know how to handle our size... more

After hearing from friends about the high cost of decent London Hotels, I decided to book the Bankside House. I was glad I did. The location behind the Tate Modern and blocks from the Thames was perfect for us. The room was a no frills affair but functioned perfectly and the cafeteria style breakfast was more than adequate. The staff... more

Having looked at the LSE website, I was optimistic about our stay. A pity that my optimism was unfounded. Apart from the location, I can find nothing at all positive to say about this accommodation. The room resembled a prison cell and contained a bare table, a plastic chair and two [single] folding beds. I would HATE to be one... more

Stayed there for nine nights in July. At that time, the hotel was overrun by pre-teen and teen school trips making it busy and loud up until curfew (11pm and later, depending on whether or not it was a weeknight). We were unfortunate to be facing the same side as the front door and lobby where all the loitering took... more

2 guys, we were well impressed with this accommodation - traveled to London on a 1c flight :) . It was very easy to find ( just follow the orange lampposts from Southwark Tube . Also the lit tower of Tate Modern made it an easy find returning at night . The staff were nice, beds were comfy, the breakfast... more
