Fine for an overnight stay, but extremely expensive for the quality of accommodation. By comparison, I usually stay closer to Bank, and the accommodation is cheaper (by at least a third), fresher and generally feels better value. The room was tired, with stained carpet, air conditioning that made an horrendous racket all night, and poor pillows. The water pressure from the shower was low, although the shower itself was reasonable, if tight, with oddly low ceilings. Access to the room was circuitous, and not straightforward. In short, nothing to particularly recommend this hotel other than location, if you need to be in the City.

We stayed here for a few nights late Dec, room we were given 217 had a separate bedroom which also has a sofa bed so if you need a room with extra sleeping options as we did then this is a good room. The room was in good condition including the bathroom and it also has a kitchenette which has a sink and microwave plus kettle. Only one issue we had was being woken up about 5am from what sounded like bins being emptied however not sure if this is usual or from any building works nearby? The hotel is positioned in the business district so do consider this as after hours not much is open nearby however, it is close to the Monument and Bank tube stations which are great for any exploring. Between them you have many tube lines at your disposal to visit the major tourist areas such as Westminster etc. I should mention the Leadenhall Market is across the road and there is a Sainsburys up the road too for supplies after hours. It is also good for the Borough Market which is a short walk from the Hotel across London Bridge, the Tower of London and Tower Bridge are nearby also. Overall I would recommend this hotel if you are looking for good accommodation nearer the east end of the city.

Few good and bad points about staying at this hotel unfortunately. Firstly we were given a nice room very bright and airy only to have an issue with the air con system loudly buzzing away… waking us both up at 0630 on a Saturday morning when all you are wanting is a lie in! Then having to move to a another room so having to repack only to unpack again in the new room. The new room not bright and airy at all if anything quite dark and dim with only a small window and the air con system barely working. Very very hot and stuffy room even with air con on full blast and windows open which was a shame. The air con obviously doesn’t work properly in the hotel. We got told our bags and belongings would be moved to the new room automatically so we packed everything neat and tidy crammed it all back into our bags and left them by the door. We went out for a few hours which we told them we were going to do, came back only to explain the situation all over again to another staff member and then having to go back to the old room and move our bags to the new room ourselves which was fine, no issues but just would have been nice to know from the beginning after having been told this was going to be done for us?!? However saying that, the positives are….. A very comfortable bed, great facilities (microwave and fridge in room) excellent free coffee machine downstairs. Nice decor and lovely free toiletries to use if desired. One thing to note though would be the milk sachets as part of the tea/coffee making facilities in the rooms. Neither my partner or I have milk in our drinks we have black tea or black coffee, but the milk sachets were over a year out of date. One went off in 2020 and one in April 2021. So might be worthwhile to check before you use them. No point flagging it up to the reception desk as we don’t use them but I did put them aside date facing upwards away from the tea making facilities, hoping they would notice.
