The staff were extremely welcoming and made our stay very relaxing. The location is perfect for walking to London Bridge, Borough Market and Tower Bridge, St Katherine's Dock. Our only negative experience was the hotel bar was closed at 10.30pm instead of the advertised 11pm so we could not have a nightcap.

The room was very clean and the bed, although only a standard double, was comfortable. It was a bit dark in the room but there were nice complimentary soft drinks and snacks. The heated toilet seats were an added luxury. We drank at the bar and had dinner at the restaurant and breakfast. The staff were all polite but we found the service very slow e.g had to wait quite a long time for drinks to be brought over and the restaurant was nearly empty. In The morning at breakfast, despite staff being around, empty dishes were not cleared from our table until we were leaving even though we started having to pile plates up. The food however was very good and we enjoyed our stay.

A charming hotel in the centre of London

We stayed for our wedding anniversary. What a well run place we've discovered. We were made very welcome. They gave us a beautiful suite which was a welcome surprise. The cocktails in the bar were out of this world. Kalum deserves a pay rise! The breakfast too. What a delight. We tried some of the Indian options, and boy were we pleased we did. What a memorable and charming place to stay. We loved having a Toto toilet in the room too.
