Good location for train network.
Pros:

Hotel is ideally located for Southwark tube station and connecting lines to London. The hotel entrance was nice and welcoming, bar area very dark though. Stayed on 12th floor but opposite lift which made room noisy. Despite having the quiet notice on our door we were woken early by the housekeepers noisily hoovering and banging the skirting boards next door. The room was comfortable though, have stayed at Ibis before so the pod bathroom wasn’t a surprise although the extractor didn’t work so got warm in there. Tea and coffee making facilities, hair dryer and iron and board in room. Have another concert stay booked for September so would request away from the lifts.

Pros:

Localização excelente, metro quase à porta, estação de comboio também muito perto. Rua pacifica, mesmo durante a noite. A curta distância a pé do Borough Market. Funcionários super atenciosos, ambiente calmo e silencioso dentro do hotel. Quarto confortável, AC a funcionar muito bem, o que foi essencial dado a nossa estadia ter coincidido com uma onda de calor extremo em Londres

Schitterende locatie vlakbij Waterloo Station
Pros:

Prima ontvangst en erg fijn dat er een restaurant met bar aanwezig is. Ik kies vaak op prijs en normaal kies ik toch niet heel snel voor Ibis vanwege het Ikea gevoel. Ik moet zeggen dat inrichting inderdaad redelijk basic blijft, maar: een voortreffelijk bed en een prima douche. Waar ik niet zo blij mee was, was de putlucht uit de wastafel als de kraan aanging. De locatie geweldig op loopafstand van de Thames en als 100 meter naar het zuiden loopt en dan rechts afslaat, kom je een super gezellig eetstraatje tegen met altijd een restaurant dat past.

Cons:

Zoals hierboven moeten ze wel kijken naar die putlucht uit de wastafel, maar het is kniezen als je hier een groot punt van maakt.
