Conveniently located next door to Borough tube station, which meant no lugging the suitcase around the streets look for my accommodation. This is a great little premises with exceptionally clean rooms, crisp white bed linen and bath towels. My room was a single, at the front of the building, on the 2nd floor. The room was basically furnished but had... More

What a pleasant surprise. This hotel is outstanding value if you don't mind sharing a (very clean) bathroom. Ok, there are a few very minor grumbles such as paper-thin walls, no elevator to the upper floors, and the aforementioned shared bathroom but at the price for London there can really be no complaint. Our room, despite overlooking the Tube station... More

For less than £100 a night you can't beat this hotel. It's basic but very clean. Had a great shower that was really big. The towel was also massive which is good. The room was very clean. It wasn't the quietest room as the windows were single glazed but it was warm and the bed was comfortable. Would definitely recommend... More

The single room I stayed in was narrow and small with a bed, desk, TV, kettle and sink, it was basically clean and tidy tho' the curtain had a dirty mark on it. The shared bathroom was clean. The view from my room, at the back, was a dispiriting one - onto a block of run down looking apartments, in... More

Clean, room with arm chair, coffee making facility. Use of iron on request. 27" flat screen tv with free view type programmes. Paid for wifi - I... More

We arrived early and they allowed us into our rooms (which is great because we had a lot of luggage.) The staff was very nice. It's right by the tube, which made getting around easy. I wasn't happy that we had to pay like $6 for wireless PER DEVICE, but these days you just have to suck it up to... More

I have stayed in this hotel for one night only as i was going to Ministry of Sound club which is about 10min walking. Hotel is literally attached to Borough tube station. Ok it doesn't look impressing from the outside but the rooms are nice and I thinks recently done up. Reception is quite small and it is in the... More

This place is basic, modern and spotlessly clean, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. As I work remotely from home, and our offices are based two minutes from this hotel, I will definitely stay here again for the convenience factor. However, the walls are rather thin and on the first night, I was woken up at 3am by... More

We were looking for a place to stay for the night as we enjoyed London. We were looking for somewhere well located, clean and inexpensive. We found just that in The london City Hotel. We were booked into a double room (rm 17)which was on the small side, but very clean. It was located just next to the Borough tube... More

Even though I had checked the reviews, I was still very apprehensive as I pressed the buzzer next to the aluminium door between the pub and cafe. The narrow staircase that took me up to the first floor office that is 'reception' didn't boost my confidence. I was warmly greeted and signed in and directed to my room on the... More
