A brilliant location for exploring the cultural attractions along Southbank and easy walkable access into the West End. Also close to bus, tube and train connections. Comfortable, clean rooms, especially those with a river view are lovely. Excellent bar and restaurant options and the staff are really friendly, professional and efficient.
