The Ned

Bank London|0.79km from Shakespeare's Globe
Very satisfied with a hotel, worthy of this price. When I made a mistake at the time of booking, I saw that the room information showed that the facilities for the disabled were provided, and I didn’t think about it. I found that it was a special room for the disabled. It was really embarrassing. . . Before the check-in, the hotel contacted me via Ctrip and asked me about my check-in time. My answer may arrive at noon, which will be far earlier than the hotel's check-in time. The reply will be arranged according to the situation on the day. On the day of the check-in, we arrived at the hotel around 11:00 and they were all ready. Thank you very much! The hotel was originally remodeled by the bank and opened only last year, new and atmospheric. There are seven or eight restaurants in the hotel lobby, and the taste is comprehensive. Geographically, it is located in the downtown area, walking close to the hotels around the Thames, and next to the subway station. The decor of the room is completely classic British style, the details are carefully polished, very special and very like. There are no less than 20 kinds of bath products, which is extremely luxurious. I saw a comment on the book saying that the sound of the music downstairs was noisy, but the actual experience was completely unrecognizable. The sound insulation of the window was well done. The sound of the door next door was noisy. This may be the only fly in the ointment.

Ibis Styles London Southwark - Near Borough Market

London|0.3km from Shakespeare's Globe
I stayed here while I was doing the London Marathon. I'd booked it quite far in advance (the moment I'd got a ballot place), so I got it for about as cheap as I could get it. Overall, I'm reviewing it from the perspective of both a London Marathon entrant and a regular guest. Some thoughts: LOCATION: The location is pretty good; you're a short walk from Southwark Bridge and the City, as well as the Shard, Borough Market, the Globe and London Bridge station on the south side of the river. Indeed, the fact that it was so close to London Bridge station (the trains from there are probably the best way to get to the London Marathon start lines) was essentially the reason I booked this place. All in all, the location cannot be faulted whatsoever. ROOMS: I stayed in one of the standard rooms, and it was fine. Nothing too much to complain about, but nothing too wild to rave about. The bed could have been a bit comfier, and I think the layout could have been slightly improved to have allowed more floorspace (maybe shrink the bathroom a bit and have a combined toilet/shower room?), but I get that this is a budget(ish) hotel in Central London and space is a commodity. DECOR: Themed to movies and musicals! A fun design, and there were some cool touches here and there, but it was a little cheaply done in places, which detracted from the experience. If this is what constitutes a price difference between ibis styles hotel a regular ibis hotel, I'd probably stick with a regular ibis hotel in future. STAFF: Staff seemed fine. Helpful if a bit reserved. BREAKFAST: Rather disappointing if I'm honest, especially from a marathon runner's perspective. The breakfast options are essentially continental, which in principle is fine, especially given that the clientele for this hotel seemed to be largely Continental European more than British. However, it would still have been nice if they'd offered a few uniquely British options, in particular porridge (I had to sneak in an instant porridge pot down to breakfast on marathon day, and saw other runners doing the same). Also, the quality of the stuff on offer generally speaking was a bit hit or miss. Powdery cakes, gloopy jam, a disorganised buffet, and some really odd things on offer (who has hummus and sliced red pepper for breakfast?!?). Another beef I had was the breakfast opening time on marathon day itself. I, as well as many other guests running the marathon, basically had to descend on the breakfast room at opening time (7 am), which was practically as late as we could have gone for decent pre-marathon fuelling for a start time of between 9:30 and 10:30 am. I really think they should have opened breakfast a bit earlier as a one-off. My parents decided to come down as well and stayed at a nearby Premier Inn, which started serving at 5:30 am. While I don't think they needed to go that far, starting breakfast half an hour to an hour earlier (akin to the weekday start times) wouldn't have gone amiss. Given that the

Native Bankside
4.6/5116 Reviews
Great place to stay if you visit London. The apartment is very large and is well equipped and very clean. We even had 2 bath rooms. The bed was very comfortable. Enough space in the bath rooms to put your shampoos and other items. An elevator is in the building and there is a reception 7/24.You can store easily your luggage if you arrive early or depart lately and there is even a larger toliet on the ground floor that you csn use before check-in or after check-out. Only a few steps away from the river Thames and the milllenium bridge. Many shops and restaurants nearby. The Shard and borough market is only in a 10 minutes walking distance.
LSE Bankside House
4/5108 Reviews
It’s student accommodation which becomes a 3 star B&B when term is out. So you won’t get any frills But to do get a decent sized room which is 1/3 of the price of all other Hotels around Central London. It’s is also in an excellent central location directly behind the Tate Modern and the Thames (opposite St Paul’s) and 6 minutes by Tube from Westminster - it’s nearest station is Southwark which is within walking distance. We got a triple room with an en-suite toilet and shower. There are lots of plug points, storage and good free wifi, It is safe the area around it is well lit plus you can leave your baggage for free if you have arrived early. It has plenty of lifts and the restaurant canteen area is massive. You also get a fully comprehensive breakfast, there is a queue but they do pretty much everything you can imagine. There are also lots of restaurants, pubs and cafes nearby. It has no TV and the air conditioning is a bit on the hot side but apart from that it’s well worth it for a place to crash in London. There is also no mini bar, maid service or fridge it really is geared for people who just want to go out.

Locke at Broken Wharf
4.1/5132 Reviews
Bank
Spent a night there for my business trip in the area. Very good location, few minutes away from multiple Tube stations. Not on the main road, so it’s not super easy to find, but it’s also not difficult. The “Micro Studio” is actually not small. Very comfy, very trendy, very nice. The highlight is the rainfall shower, really enjoyable after a long day of work. Will stay there again for sure!
Premier Inn London Southwark (Bankside)
4.3/541 Reviews
I booked a room with my friend for two nights during St Patrick. The staff was super nice to us, we were able to leave your luggage there and check in later without fees. The room was overall quite comfortable (really nice bed), it has a lot of space and a tub. The only thing is that we could here a bit of noise coming from the street or upstairs. We had the continental breakfast in the morning and for the price, you it’s really worth it. Very easy to check in and out, and location is just perfect !!
Novotel London Bridge
4.2/5104 Reviews
It is about 5-6 minutes away from the london bridge, there is a borough market nearby, and it is also very close to the Shard building. Although the room is not large, but it is clean, and the toiletries are full. There is free mineral water in the room.
