My 13 year old daughter and I stayed one night for some sightseeing in London. The hotel was clean, quiet and perfect . Easy walk from Blackfriars station. Very friendly staff (particularly Daniel on check in) who facilitated a room for an early check in so we could drop our bag and freshen up,
We visited the pool (need to pre book) was a bit chilly but bearable and plenty of towels .
Breakfast was plentiful with lots of selection. Air con worked and complimentary bottles of water were good.
Reasonable price for London and the staff being so helpful is rare (in my experience of other London hotels)
Be aware it’s cashless at the bar and restaurant.
Would stay again,

3 night family break
Great location, very easy to walk from Waterloo and close to the London eye.
Good swimming pool and gym. Would of been nice if the pool was a little warmer. Great bar and we had good food. Expensive and service charges even if you're just buying a single drink. Maybe this is normal these days, but annoying. Good breakfast and the staff were excellent. Room was nice, the kids loved the see through shower! Good air conditioning and TV. A little cramped with the kids beds, but we were comfortable and it worked for our three night stay. We would stay again.

Stayed with family (with a teen and a tween) for bank holiday. Great location for transport, restaurants, West End plays. Book for the pool but it wasnt overcrowded as a result and kids loved it. Food was ver good, both room service and the breakfast. Staff were really helpful and delivered excellent customer service.

Finding a family room with two tall teens is getting tricky but we had enough space here and the single beds were comfy and big enough. Bottled water, real milk, tea, coffee and biscuits in the room was all a great bonus. As was the decent wifi! The bathroom was a little odd since it is separated from the room by a mostly opaque wall but we managed!

Book a hotel with a pool but it was very cold, my daughter was shivering. It can also only have 14 people in at one time. Not ideal when it has 100s of rooms.

This was our first time staying in a European hotel. I had read that most European hotels were smaller than American hotels. While the room wasn't large, it certainly was large enough for our family of 4 to sleep comfortably. The bathroom was spacious as well. We were particularly happy to find water and snacks available in the room.
The hotel is situated in an excellent part of town that is walking distance to The Queen's Walk, and other tourist friendly attractions such as the London Eye. We enjoyed being able to walk everywhere!
The pool is small so we had to make a reservation to use it. However, the reservation process was super easy and I was able to swim and use the sauna after a long day of traveling.
