Okay but could havebeen much better for the price point
Cons:

One of the legs on the bed was broken.
The TV remote was missing from the room and when the team brought a new remote it was the wrong one. We stopped asking after that

Perfect Location
Pros:

Brilliant location, with numerous restaurants and Southbank right at the hotels doorstep.

The room was a good size, and the view was great.

Cons:

What would have made is great would've been a small couch, as there is plenty of room for one.
