Hotel Details

Location

Set in a residential area in central London, the property is within a 15-minute walk of Waterloo Station and a short stroll from Southwark tube stop.
Rowland Hill House is on a quiet street within easy walking distance of the South Bank, London Eye, Borough Market, and St Paul's Cathedral (2 km). Several pubs, cafes, and restaurants (e.g., The Ring, Carlo's Kitchen, Union Street Cafe) are within a 5-minute walk. London City Airport is 13 km away. The location is ideally suited to exploring the city centre on foot or by public transport, with bus and underground links at Southwark and Waterloo stations. The area feels quiet at night, which supports a good sleep for a city location.

Accommodation

Rooms are basic, compact, and furnished with a wardrobe, electric kettle, and shared bathroom. Some rooms have a balcony or quiet street view.
Accommodation consists of single rooms within a shared flat, each with a wardrobe, electric kettle, and kitchenware. Bed types vary and may include sofa beds, camp beds, or stacked mattresses rather than traditional beds, so it is important to confirm exactly what is in the room before booking if a specific bed type is required. Several rooms offer a balcony or quiet street view, but some balconies are used for storage and may not be usable. The shared bathroom and toilet are used by all guests and the host; morning and evening scheduling can be tight. No private bathroom is available. Rooms lack external locks, making it unsuitable for those who need to leave valuables behind during the day. Heating is available but has been reported as inconsistent. Overall, this is spare, budget accommodation best suited to travellers who only need a bed and are out exploring for most of the day.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room with a balcony when booking as availability is limited.

  • 02

    Bring your own towels and toiletries as only small hand towels are provided.

  • 03

    Confirm the exact bed type (sofa bed / camp bed vs advertised) before booking if a proper mattress is important.

  • 04

    Arrive at check-in (from 15:00) to avoid confusion as there is no 24-hour reception and access is through a lockbox.
