Good. Just read the details before you decide.
Pros:

Location was easy. Staff were friendly and helpful. Affordable, especially for last minute travel needs.

This place is a college dorm and hotel during the year, but once the semester is out, it’s strictly a hotel. It was quiet. I was expecting a little rowdy and it was not.

There is a tiny kitchen on the floor to cook and store food.

Cons:

You get what you pay for for sure and if you don’t read the amenities you will fail to realize there is NO AIR CONDITIONING.

Windows do open, but there’s very little to no circulation. I asked the front desk for a fan and they did not have one as well. I ended up purchasing one at DIY 10 minutes away for $25 and it was totally worth it as a solo traveler.

It’s also worth noting that the shower pressure is fantastic. However, if you accidentally bumped the temperature handle, the water is absolutely scorching within seconds.

This is NOT a hotel
Pros:

Location

Cons:

This isnt a hotel, nor should it pretend to be. It's a student halls of residence. If I'd lived here when I was a student I'd have been over the moon, but i'm no longer a student.
Also.absolutey freezing cold.

Jó helyen volt, így választanám legközelebb is.
Pros:

Étkezést nem lehetett kérni. Több reggelizőhely és bolt volt a közelben. A környék teljesen jó, könnyen megközelíthető. Segítőkész személyzet. Csendes.

Cons:

Kicsivel nagyobb ágynak jobban örültünk volna, viszont kényelmes volt.

Fine for a budget overnight stay and well-placed
Pros:

The Junior Suite had a small sitting room in addition to the bedroom and bathroom. Everything was clean and towels and toiletries laid out on the bed. The location is great, just off the Southbank, behind Tate Modern. Value is reasonable considering it's central London and they had availability at short notice. The Air bnb rooms are all on the top floor, with no mixing with student rooms as far as I could see.

Cons:

There seemed to be an air conditioning plant outside the window which would have kept me awake had I not had earplugs. There was a ventian blind instead of curtains in the bedroom so, again, my sleep would have suffered had I not had a sleep mask.
