I needed a place to stay for a night so I decided to go for somewhere close to central London (within travel zone 1) and this place suited my needs. When I arrived I was early and there was no one to let me in but that gave me a chance to look around the area. There is a good selection of bars and shops on the street "The Cut" so I stopped in one for a drink.
When I tried again, the cleaner was there to let me in.
The room was great and the bed was comfortable. Shower was also fine.
I like the fact that even though it's central, it is a quiet area, even with the window open.
I had a problem when I went out that I couldn't get back in so make sure you ask someone to show you how the keys work!
The area itself is on the border of Lambeth and Southwark and is close to both Waterloo and Southwark tube stations. It is also close to the south bank for all you culture lovers!
There is a cleaning fee so staying for longer would be more economical but it is still cheap for Zone 1.
Donovan was a great host and even laid on a choice of breakfast which was much appreciated!
Overall, an excellent stay in a superb area.
