The hotel was exceptional and all the facilities were excellent. We would reccomend this hotel to everyone. Its location is wonderful, The OXO Tower just next door and Bourgh Market just a few minuets walk away. Wonderful views accross the River Thames and spectacular at night with the |London lights.
There was nothing we didnt like about the hotel or the location. everything was just perfect. I think you would be hard pushed to find something wrong with this hotel.

Staff were very friendly and helpful - The hotel bar is great with loads of options (off menu too) and amazing cocktails. Lovely atmosphere around the hotel and very comfortable. Location is very convenient.
The rooms are very basic for the price paid, particularly when you consider that breakfast isn't included in most rates.

We had one of the deluxe rooms with river view which was incredible. The hotel has great facilities and the bar and restaurant area down at the river side have a great vibe.
