Southwark Rose Hotel

( 3 stars , London , United Kingdom )

Good Good location for the Tate, Southbank, St Pauls and the London Eye

I was delighted (and surprised) with the location! I was very happy that the hotel was within a very short walking distance of the Globe and the Tate Modern. The nearby river boats were very convenient and fun as a means of transportation. The location was quiet, yet central to a lot of activities and it was much nicer than I anticipated. On the downside, the walk to London Station wasn't the best in the evening. Perhaps there was a better underground location to use in the evening and we just didn't know about it? Maybe more information about that could be provided at check-in? We really liked the two entirely separate rooms in our suite and the fact that there were separate bathroom areas for the toilet and sink/shower. The suite also had a lovely design and decorations and special features -- two coffee makers, microwave, refrigerator, etc. The sofa bed was actually comfortable! Just a few negatives... Since we had 4 people staying in the room, I thought that we would automatically have enough bedding, pillows, and towels for 4 people, but I had to call down to the front desk twice until someone brought them up for us. Also, most hotels I stay in have tissues (Kleenex) in the rooms (which I missed, since I needed some). Overall, although prices in London were quite a bit more expensive than we had expected, we were very happy with this hotel and would highly recommend it to people planning a visit to London! The staff was very courteous and helpful and allowed us to check-in early and also kept our backpacks in the closet on the day we checked out, while we toured London.

Excellent location very helpful staff. good location. bed rather hard. noise of traffic diturbed us a little.

I booked the hotel for myself and my son before he attended an important interview in London. I wanted him to be comfortable and to have internet access to prepare for his interview. The hotel fulfilled all my expectations and I found it reasonably priced

+The dining facility and the standard of the food

+Clean, comfortable, modern well equipped, friendly staff, reasonable price.

+Our room was lovely and clean, with plenty of space for our clothes. The bathroom was really clean and the shower was great! It was quite luxurious really. -I found the staff of the hotel very unhelpful, they never asked if they could help us, and as I had mentioned at the desk that it was our first time in London I feel they could have done more to be welcoming.

+location -no common space cosy,bar and restaurant area are closed a good part of the day

+comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. Good service

+good price , convenient location -staff were not particularly welcoming and did not explain how to use the security system for the elevator.
