Value for money, great location
Pros:

Excellent location, great value for money, friendly check in and out. Plenty of breakfast options.

Cons:

Room was basic but functional. Stuffy with windows shut, noisy with them open (but central, so outside noise to be expected). Got to relive that student digs vibe 😊

Centraal gelegen hotel. Basic kamer maar prima voor een stedentrip in Londen
Pros:

Prima lokatie in Londen, op loop afstand van de Tower Bridge. Verder zijn er twee metro stations in de buurt. Personeel is vriendelijk. De Prijs-kwaliteit verhouding is in orde.

Cons:

De kamers zijn redelijk basic. Er kan een rij staan bij het ontbijt. Dit kwam 1 maal voor in 3 dagen verblijf in het weekend.

Pros:

The breakfast had a great selection of foods and drinks, also for vegans and vegetarians! Room was clean and spacious, beds good to sleep in and toilet had all the basics you could need! Quality-price ratio is amazing, highly recommended :)

Cons:

The lack of AC is a little minus but luckily you can open the window, it worked well enough for us!

El peor alojamiento de mi vida. Todo sucio y viejo
Pros:

La ubicación es muy buena. Cerca del Támesis y de la
Zona de South Bank y el Tate Modern. Esto nos permitía ir andando a varios lugares.
En recepción no es que fueran simpáticos pero fueron los menos desagradables de todo el personal del lugar. Pedimos un adaptador de enchufe para cargar el móvil y nos lo dejaron.

Cons:

Aluciné con los buenos comentarios de Booking en este lugar porque son falsos.
El alojamiento es una residencia para estudiantes, realmente sucia, vieja. El baño es muy pequeño, olía a humedad y estaba muy sucio. La ducha es muy incómoda, Sin espacio, con la alcachofa fija y constantemente se escuchan las cañerías. La habitación es ruidosa hasta el punto de oír los ronquidos del de al lado. Las cortinas tienen agujeros. Las paredes están Manchadas. Hay moqueta, sucia también y llena de ácaros. La ventana no se puede abrir, solo inclinar. El ruido de la calle también se escucha bastante. Era una habitación doble, con las camas en fila. Una más alta que otra y los colchones súper hundidos y cedidos. No hay tele, el secador hay que pedirlo en recepción y, en caso de que les queden, esta asquerosamente sucio.
El desayuno es buffet pero todo demasiado graso. Hay fruta al menos y variedad de leches. La antipatía de las personas que sirven parte del desayuno es significativa. Solo una de ellas un día intentó ser menos antipática.
El señor de la consigna de equipaje, maleducado y con muy malas formas, empujando mi maleta de una patada.
El precio de la estancia fue bastante caro. Sin duda, el peor alojamiento en el que he estado en mi vida.
