The SD is an amazing place to stay. Why spend twice as much to stay down the road at the chain hotel when you can stay in a nice room above a bar and kitchen?!
The location is fantastic - your just a hop, skip, and a jump from Waterloo and Southwark stations (great from getting around 90% of what you’d want to see in London).
The hostess is quick to respond, has helpful tips, and leaves complimentary cider and ale in your room. She even went the extra mile to print out items for our trip. We stayed in room 2 and appreciated having our own bathroom en suite.
We wholly recommend the SD to anyone who wants to have a great, personal experience in London without breaking the bank.
