I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were cozy, but the bunk beds were not very comfortable. The service was good overall, but the housekeeping could be more attentive. The location was convenient, not far from the city center. The dining options were limited, with only grilled sandwiches available. The facilities were decent, but the price could be more competitive.

The hotel has its strengths and weaknesses. The rooms were cozy with bunk beds but lacked a view. The service was decent, and the location, though near a bus stop, had limitations. The dining options were simple, and the facilities were basic. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
A charming hotel with stunning views from the rooms and cozy mattresses, yet bunk beds may not suit everyone. The service is attentive, especially at the Reception desk, but some pet amenities might be missing. The location is convenient, particularly near a bus stop for easy transportation. Dining offers savory Moroccan pancakes, although the menu could use more variety. Overall, a good value for the price with room for minor improvements.
The hotel is in a convenient location, very near the bus stop with easy access to Elephant & Castle for exploring London. The rooms with bunk beds were cozy, but the view was not impressive. The service was good overall, although there were no specific standout features. The price was fair, offering decent value for the money.
