good variety reasonable price plastic prefab caravan smell
The breakfast had a good variety and was reasonably priced at £13 each staff were very helpful i thought.
The bathroom reminded me of a plastic prefab unit. I reminded me of i was in a caravan and it smelled like one too. Only one light worked in the bathroom.

Charmed by Southwark Stay

great location plentiful variety
This location are great, Southwark station just around the corner. It are an easy walk to many places of interest. The breakfast buffet surprised me, it was plentiful with good variety.
The lighting system prove a bit tricky. One have to switch on the master switch before operating the bathroom light. This takes getting used to and felt unnecessarily complex.

quick check-in helpful staff great location hard bed discouraging room foam rubber pillows
Check-in was quick. I got to my room without any hassle! The room was clean, and most things I needed were there. Breakfast had a good variety and was quite reasonable! All staff members were very helpful. The location is great.
The room was very discouraging. It seemed like a manufactured room. The bed was the worst I have ever slept on. It was hard as rocks! I couldn't sleep the second night. The pillows seemed like chunks of foam rubber.

awesome stay near southwark!

great location convenient service nearby supermarket
the hotel's proximity to southwark station is a real plus. i could easily hop on the tube and explore different parts of the city (it saved me a ton of time!). the hotel also let me store my luggage before check-in and after check-out, a super convenient service. the staff even pointed out the nearby tesco express.
The room lacked a mini fridge. I could not store some drinks.
