Disclaimer: stayed at this place while using my mom's employee rate/discount. She was also with us.
That being said, the cost per night via my mom's employee rate/discount, for three people, in a double bedroom with a pull out sofa, the price was great! I could not imagine paying the base rate of 200 pounds. The hotel is in a decent area. We found that the bus stop directly outside of the hotel was quite convenient, and took us to all the places we needed to go. Vaux Hall Tube Station is about a 6-8 minute walk, which isn't too far. There is also a quick store a block away to get water and snacks.
The hotel is overall clean. However, did notice the house keeping declining during our visit. We stayed for a total of 5 nights, and the first two nights were great. Cups were cleaned, the floor was vaccuumed etc. However, after the second day, our cups were not cleaned and stored away. I saw a crumb on the floor before we left for the day, and the same crumb remained when we returned after the room was made.
Breakfast: it kind of does the job, but it does get tiring after the third day. it's the same items: powdered scrambled eggs, british sausage, your usual toast/croissants, cereal, yogurt, canned fruit, coffee. After being there for 5 days, I was over the breakfast items. It would have been niced to just have hard boiled eggs, as the powdered eggs got gross. Oh yea there were also baked beans - I think a british thing. Oatmeal would have been nice too. read more
