Hotel Details

Location

Located in a quiet residential area of Lambeth, a 4-minute walk from Kennington tube station on the Northern Line.

The property is perfectly positioned for central London access: Kennington station is a short walk, with direct connections to Waterloo, London Bridge, and the West End. On a good day, Westminster Bridge is walkable. Several pubs, restaurants, and a Tesco Express are within a 5-minute walk. The neighbourhood is quiet and feels safe, even at night, with typical terraced houses. London City Airport is 15 km away; the nearest bus stops are also within a few minutes' walk.

Accommodation

A converted terraced house offering private and shared-bathroom rooms with garden views, parquet floors, and practical amenities.

Rooms vary from compact single rooms to spacious doubles and a large king bedroom with a sofa. All rooms come with a work desk, flat-screen TV, mini fridge, electric kettle, complimentary tea/coffee/water, hairdryer, and free toiletries. Parquet floors and garden views are standard. Some rooms have a private bathroom (ensuite or private shower/WC), while others use a shared first-floor bathroom. The property has no elevator, so rooms on upper floors require stair access. Rooms are clean, quiet, and comfortable; ground-floor rooms with garden access offer extra privacy. For a longer stay, consider a larger room for more space.

Dining

No on-site restaurant or breakfast is offered, but a fully equipped shared kitchen is available for guest use.

The shared kitchen is stocked with cookware, utensils, a microwave, oven, toaster, washing machine, and a large fridge/freezer, making it easy to prepare meals and snacks. Complimentary coffee, tea, and spices are provided. Within a 5-minute walk, there are several pubs (The Old Red Lion), Italian bistros, sushi, pizza, and cafés. A Tesco Express is adjacent to the tube station. For a full English breakfast or a sit-down dinner, the local high street offers dozens of options, particularly for Asian and South American cuisine.

Facilities and Services

Free Wi-Fi, a shared kitchen with laundry facilities, lockers, and 24-hour security are provided for a comfortable stay.

Free Wi-Fi is reliable and fast throughout the property. The shared kitchen includes a washing machine and tumble dryer, and there is also a laundry service available at no extra cost. Lockers are provided for secure storage. The property has 24-hour security with CCTV and smoke alarms. Self check-in via a key safe offers flexibility.
