Hotel Details

Location

Borough tube station is a 2-minute walk, placing the entire Underground network within easy reach.
Borough tube station (Northern Line) is just around the corner, a 2-minute walk, while London Bridge station is a 10-12 minute walk, providing access to national rail and the Jubilee Line. The location is a 10-minute walk to Borough Market and a short stroll to supermarkets, coffee shops, and pubs. London Bridge is less than 1 km away, Sky Garden 2 km, Tower Bridge 2 km, and St Paul's Cathedral 2 km. London City Airport is 12 km from the property. The apartment is situated on a relatively quiet street despite the central location. The alley entrance can be dark at night, and some find the surrounding area less comfortable after dark, particularly when travelling with children.

Accommodation

The apartment is a spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom (some units have 2.5 bathrooms) property with a modern interior and parquet flooring.
The apartment includes two separate bedrooms, a living room, a dining area, and a private entrance. The kitchen is ultra-modern and fully equipped with a stovetop, fridge, dishwasher, oven, and washer/dryer. Streaming services are available on a flat-screen TV, and a high chair can be provided for toddlers. The property is non-smoking and has a lift. The sofa bed is comfortable, but its linen may not always be fresh. Some units have a balcony with a view of The Shard, while others have a terrace. The bathroom can have mould on the ceiling and the shower head may need cleaning, and there is no air conditioning. The beds are comfortable, and the apartment is generally clean and well-maintained, though some light fixtures and flooring show wear.

Amenities

Wi-Fi is free throughout the apartment, a lift is available, and luggage can be stored from 10:00.
The property offers free Wi-Fi in all areas, a lift, and a non-smoking policy. Luggage storage is available from 10:00, allowing early arrivals to explore before check-in at 15:00. No parking is available on site. Pets are not allowed. The property has a washer/dryer, an electric kettle, and ironing facilities. The building uses a door code and a separate key for the apartment, and clear instructions with photos are provided for entry. The management responds to maintenance issues, but some have reported problems with the heating (underfloor heating not working and portable heaters provided) and an alarm battery was replaced after being reported.

Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request an apartment with two full bathrooms at booking and confirm the layout to avoid receiving a unit with only one bathroom.

  • 02

    Schedule luggage drop-off from 10:00 if arriving before the 15:00 check-in time to explore the city hands-free.

  • 03

    Choose this property only if you are comfortable with a self-check-in process and an alley entrance that can feel dark at night.

  • 04

    Bring earplugs if you are sensitive to cooking odours from neighbouring units, as these can penetrate the apartment strongly even with windows closed.
