You get what you pay for with these budget hotels, this is definitely one of the better ones I've stayed in.
Check in was pretty fast and easy. You get one room key, if you need two just ask, and our package included all the add-ons (towels, TV, WiFi etc). You do normally have to pay for these separately, so bear that in mind when booking.
The rooms are compact but pretty functional. The bathroom is at the very end of the bed with a frosted glass window which is open at the top and bottom, so you need to be pretty close and comfortable with the person you're travelling with. The air conditioning unit was very noisy, and as our window was facing a main road, leaving our window open at night wasn't really an option. Ear plugs would sort this out though. Beware when showering, the whole bathroom floods and can cause a bit of a mess.
The lift is tiny and there's only one. You might have to wait a little longer if you have luggage with you.
The hotel was really clean, have no complaints there.
The area was pretty cool, you're pretty close to Waterloo Station, with lots of lovely cafes, vintage shops and cool little bars. You're also pretty close to the main hospital in London, so be prepared for sirens through the night.
Way better than Easy Hotels but don't expect a luxury experience. read more
