Had stayed previously next door at the Novotel and driven mad by its split bathrooms, wanted to try something else. Room was bigger and somewhat more spacious than that at the Novotel (and not just, I think, because I ended up in a handicap room), though fittings and furnishings less plush. Still, the room has most of the basics covered,... more

we stayed at hotel for a weekend break, also to go to the criterion theatre to see 39 steps which was very good. we had to get a bus to the theatre from the hotel, bus stop was by st pauls which was over the bridge from the hotel. once on the bus its about 10-15mins from st pauls. that... more

This hotel seems a very nice hotel but do not stay on the 5th floor. It is noisy. There seems to be regular noise from the 6th floor/roof, not sure if its the plantroom up there or something else but there was bangs and clanks during the night. It may need further accoustic protection! I'm not the first to report... more

I primarily picked this place on our European honeymoon because we had tickets to see King Lear at the Globe (it's own amazing experience). I am glad I chose where we did. The hotel is located very close to the Thames River and the heart of London. It is a bit of a walk to get to places across the... more

this hotel is the perfect location!! The hotel is very modern the rooms were on the small side but spotlessly clean which in my view is more important than a huge room. the bar/restaurant on the 6th floor is nice, had couple drinks and chat with helpful and friendly barman,impressed! The breakfast was included in the rates and was a... more

Stayed here for one night as a treat after seeing a midnight showing of King Lear at the Globe Theatre, which is only a five-minute walk away. Check-in was a breeze and the room was fine; bright, clean and certainly bigger than the room we stayed in in New York at Easter that cost twice the price! Although quite large,... more

Nice modern hotel with a good bar. Some language barriers with the barman who, when asked if he had any nuts or Japenese rice crackers, presented us with a plate full of dry Jacobs Cream Crackers. Funny though! Very clean, comfortable hotel with contemporary design, flat screen tv and good inroom facilities. Only complaint was there only seemed to be... more

Very nice hotel with good price value if you book a long weekend for 85 a night. I have staid in London three times before and the hotels were all awfull. So I know what to expect in a hotel in London and Southwark Rose was compared to those really good! Only remark I have to make is about the... more

Really nice room, great it was air conditioned. Make sure you if you request a non smoking room when you book you also double check when you arrive. Breakfast was AWFUL! £12.95 for a full and continental...breakfast on my BA flight was more impressive. Bad tasting and just overpriced. Staff at front desk are not super friendly. more
