While I am familiar with the small room sizes in Europe, the rooms in this hotel seem particularly small. While the hotel is clean, there is a lack of attention to some details- like the apples that are put in rooms, which were a bit shriveled, suggesting that they had been there for some time.

A gym is connected to the hotel, but I didn't use it; internet service is slow.

After reading the reviews and looking on the hotel's website I really wanted to like this hotel, but unfortunately it didn't really do it for me.

On checking into the hotel I was told that I had been upgraded to one of their apartments. I'm generally happy to receive upgrades, but I was a little disappointed to get to the apartment and find that - instead of the deluxe boutique hotel room I had been expecting - it was basically a flat. This would have been great had I been staying for a longer period or travelling with family, but as a single traveller staying for one night, I prefer a hotel room. Unfortunately, as I was a little short on time I wasn't able to see if the room could be changed.

Plus points - the staff were generally friendly and the food in the Londinium restaurant was very good. I also liked that, for the deal I had, I could have room service breakfast for just the additional cover charge; as the apartment wasn't in the main building, this was a lot more convenient. The apartment itself was also spacious with a very comfortable bed and would have been fantastic for a family. Although I didn't use it, the kitchen seemed well-equipped and for a large group / long weekend it would be easy to self-cater (particularly given the proximity to Borough Market). The choice of magazines in the apartment was a nice touch - including a couple of new issues of magazines I normally buy. Also, the elements of the package I booked were all included and on the bill - one of the few times recently I haven't had to query this with hotels.

Negatives - the room itself seemed very 'lived in' and one of the chairs was quite badly stained / soiled. There were a couple of examples where more attention to detail would have been helpful. The television in the lounge didn't work (I thought at first it was due to the remote control not having batteries, but changing the batteries over didn't make a difference), I couldn't have the lights on in the kitchen as the under-cabinet light kept flickering so I couldn't make a cup of tea and the water pressure in the shower was quite poor. The housekeeping staff hadn't cleared the previous occupants' room service tray from outside the door when I first got there, and my breakfast came with the toast I had ordered but no butter.

The other thing that the hotel is really suffering from at the moment is its location. I haven't marked the hotel down for this, as it's not really within its control, but I was unable to get a full night's sleep due to very loud music going on from a local bar until 1.30am and then building work starting at around 7am. I know the location, so realised that it was never going to be somewhere to stay if absolute peace and quiet was required, but even if you can ignore the music you're likely to be woken up early.

Would I stay here again? Probably not - my stay was reasonable but for the amount I paid, I can stay in a hotel that I like more. I certainly wouldn't stay in the London Bridge area through choice until the building work was complete.

Have recently stayed for two night the London Bridge Hotel, in an executive room.

The Hotel is extremely convenient, just yards from London Bridge Rail & Underground stations. The reception and conceirge are small but functional and the overall 'entrance' is functional if a little on the small side.

The rooms are 'tired' with a need for renovation - I was 'upgarded' to a Deluxe Twin Suite and the mattress was very soft. So much so, I asked for a new matress or room change. My request was dealt with swiftly and I was moved to another room, with an infinitely better mattress and slightly better decor and fittings.
It should be noted that the initial room I stayed in (401) was next to th air conditioning unit for the corridor and it was 'of a' level as to make my uncomfortable nights sleep on the soft mattress even more fitful.

The food in the restaurant is average at best (certainly not poor, nor good), the bar/lounge food is also adequate.


In my opinion, the hotel needs refurbihment and refitting to bring it up in quality to a level where the cost of the room is accpetable and also hopefully elevate it to a 'premium' hotel in the area.

I will not return whilst the hotel is in it's current condition.

We got a great weekend bed & breakfast deal and were very impressed. High standard of decor, small rooms but very comfortable, very quiet and no issues with noise from the busy streets outside which was great, breakfast in the morning was very nice and as it's a small hotel it was very relaxed and nice not to have ther usual busy morning queues for the buffet.
Location - just round the corner from the London Bridge underground so was great, and also just round the corner from the London Dungeons.
Overall very impressed and would definately go back.
