Pros:

most things....the view is epic..rooms are great and staff supper helpful

Cons:

you should do staggered checkins so you coulds checkin at say 11.00 am but would then need checkout at 10-11 the next day..that way you wouldnt have half the hotel wouldnt be leaving at the same time and you could have more generous checkin. i think checkin at 4pm and checkout at 12 is really poor..

Pros:

3e séjour dans cet hôtel.
Vues incroyables depuis le lobby, le restaurant, la chambre, la piscine, le sauna … une expérience vraiment exceptionnelle !
Borough Market et gare de London Bridge au pied de l’hôtel, très pratique. Tout était nickel, j’y retournerai certainement :)

Cons:

Rien !

Far superior 5 star hotels to choose from in London
Pros:

Views are great. Location is great. That’s about it.

Cons:

To be honest our stay was just average. The room and views were amazing but some of the windows were not just dirty they were filthy. We booked a window experience in Gong, the space we were crammed into was tiny, for £250 I would have expected more and much better service, we asked multiple times for sparkling water that never arrived, glasses not topped up, dishes not cleared away, a very average experience, later that evening I asked if they or another bar would be showing the England quarterfinal and I was laughed at and told “this is a five star hotel of course not” I was well aware it’s a five star hotel that’s why I booked it! The staff member was rude and condescending. Breakfast was also poor, a limited selection that you’d find in any decent 4 star hotel. The room and the views are 5 star but everything is really isn’t.
