A really great place to stay. Clean, warm and cosy. The kitchen meant that I could cook meals every day and there were a couple of supermarkets 5 minutes walk away to buy ingredients. I felt very safe there and although there were other guests staying, there was never a queue for the kitchen or bathroom. The wifi was excellent. The staff were welcoming and helpful when I arrived. The stairs weren't an issue even after 7 hours of dancing but if you can't manage stairs it's something to think about. Although it was above a pub you couldn't hear much other than the general street noise and an occasional banging door but nothing more than you would get from being anywhere where people are coming and going. If you're coming out of Waterloo station come out of the entrance nearest the Old Vic and you are only a few minutes walk away. I will definitely stay there again.
