just bad, the staff very rude and unprofessional. the rooms were very dirty with downright mold on it carpet and also the corridor air was unbreathable due to poor ventilation. Although the price was not high, this hotel does not deserve three stars. The only decent thing was the breakfast, otherwise I strongly advise against it.

Perfect when you’re on a budget. Location is great, just across from the Tate Museum. I felt safe and had all I needed: bed, fresh towels, hot shower. Only thing that bothers me is the side of the sink that got all wet and soekd my vanity case. Receptionist was helpful with his advice regarding transit to the airport during the tube and railway strike. Too bad breakfast was not served before I left at 6.50am.

This low cost hotel was a great value stay in the heart of London right next to the Tate Modern. The room was clean and tidy, but fairly basic. Quiet at night. And in the morning a big breakfast at the cafeteria restaurant. Friendly staff at the front desk. Trouble free accommodation.

This is a great alternative to paying high hotel prices in London. During the summer months, LSE rents out its dorms to travelers. They even offer a full English breakfast in the morning at their cafeteria... The rooms are basic dorm rooms. No A/C. It was very hot in London and it would have been nice to have a fan. This LSE location has bathrooms within the dorm rooms. Other LSE locations have bathrooms down the hall. Not an inconvenience. Just something to be aware of... I arrived about 1am and they lost the reservation (or gave it away when a group of 35 other tourists came in earlier)... They were frantic, but eventually found the error. They were still able to accommodate... Issues happen, but they resolved successfully.

Travel We stayed at the LSE Bankside House for two nights. General The LSE Bankside House is actually a student residence and can be booked as a B&B during the semester break. Location The accommodation is right next to the Tate Modern in the trendy Bankside district with numerous sights, pubs, restaurants and supermarkets. Check in Check in was uncomplicated. The staff is friendly and helpful. Rooms The rooms are clean and functional, I slept well. The bathroom was also clean and functional. Breakfast The breakfast was plentiful and good. Luggage storage It was also no problem to store the luggage on site before check in. Conclusion A very well located, for London very cheap B&B with basic facilities. Recommended.

We stayed for 3 nights at the start and end of our recent trip to England. The highest of high points for this hotel is its price, particularly for families with several children like ours; we were able to fit into a few large rooms. They are dorm rooms, but clean and safe feeling and not cramped, which is all I was looking for. The rooms do not have TVs, but we had iPads and free WiFi, so it was never an issue. It should be noted that these are dorms, not a purpose-built hotel, but if you are looking for something more substantial than a hostel it provides great bang-for-the-buck (or pound). The location rivaled the price for the best aspect of this hotel. We walked around the Tate and had immediate access to the Bankside restaurants, the Globe (where we watched a play while standing up), and the Millennium Bridge (across which we went to Evensong at St. Paul's). A brief walk to a Tube or bus stop, and we were able to get anywhere in England! Within one block were grocery stores and other services, which meant we could conveniently finish our sightseeing days with a simple meal if we didn't want to eat out at a restaurant. Many reviews will mention the breakfast, which was excellent. With a bunch of kids, the ability to get a hot, protein-rich breakfast, some hot drinks, and a couple pieces of fruit was really amazing. Finally, I was impressed by the staff. We unintentionally visited during a massive festival in London, and so the hotel was packed with a lot of people from all over the world. The staff were positive and helpful in every interaction we had with them. Everyone I saw working in the cafeteria, reception, and housekeeping were efficient, professional, and pleasant. I would definitely stay at this hotel again.

Great university accommodation. Had a room with shared bathroom- but no one else in other room so didn’t have to share. Incredible breakfast served daily. Easy transport options. Walking distance to a lot of places

Don't expect the Ritz, if you want a basic room and decent options for breakfast this is ideal. The rooms are clean enough and roomy for what we needed 2 adults and a Grandchild. The location is ideal for local amenities and the market nearby is great for walkabout food. If you like walking this is good, just walk along the Thames in either direction and you'll find lots of sights.

This is a university dorm (they rent out the rooms only during the summer months), not a hotel but the value for money is the best in London. The rooms are basic (no tv, no ac, bed not the comfiest) but spotlessly clean, some are ensuite some have a shared bathroom. The location is amazing, zone 1 right behind the Tate Modern. Good breakfast selection. Super fast wifi. Staff is very friendly. They have a security service during the night.

Very good, except the fact that it was not stated anywhere that someone would come clean your room every 2 days i think. I only was there for 5 days so I couldn't know. But for everything else it was good and funny enough there was an alarm where we had to go out. The breakfast area is very good, there is alot of options. The place is perfect, next to Tate Modern so if you plan to go to this hotel then you should check out Tate Modern.

Absolutely fantastic hotel for the location and price. Really comfortable bedroom, and staff were really friendly and helpful. Only issue was that there was no drinking water in the room, but there is a shop nearby called the Local Express (opposite the Lord Nelson) that opens late and sells bottled water!

Great 1st experience for students to live independently; they can cook, have a mini fridge in their room, or choose the restaurant dinner each night which is included in the rate inside the building, which is excellent. Good laundry, & facilities overall and clean.

A great place to stay, very central, near bus stops and underground, fantastic breakfast, great tea and coffee facilities in the room, comfortable, downsides were no air con in the room, the WiFi completely cut out one evening, and lack of mirrors in the room. Having said that I'd definitely stay again.

Compared to other UK summer Uni accommodation I've stayed at, this is very poor value for money and poor quality. The room was stifling (no air con) in normal UK summer temperature, the hot water was dangerously hot, dated interiors, worn out bedding and bed frames. I hope the students aren't paying a high accommodation cost for their courses. Breakfast was cheap and mediocre quality but filling. Good point is location behind Tate. Staff standard was variable but generally good. If you can book 4-6 weeks in advance then there will be better alternatives at real hotels for the same or less money.

The location was great right behind the Tate modern with lots of places for food and close to two underground stations (5 mins to blackfriars 15mins to London bridge). The rooms were very basic no TV or fridge. Large restaurant with a good selection for breakfast and they sometimes do dinner too.

Rooms ok, but no tv. Huge breakfast. Provides a kitchen if you want to cook own food. Eating out quite expensive in the area considering its student accommodation. Friendly staff. Location not too bad, behind Tate modern, not best for transport into city. Would stay there again.

Clean, comfortable (student) rooms. Excellent staff, good breakfast and keenly priced for such a great location. Ideal for our needs, would recommend.

This is truly a university dormitory. It’s good value for money as it’s cheap for a zone 1 location. It’s 10 min walk to the nearest tube station though part of the area we passed isn’t very nice. We witnessed a man on the bike stole a pedestrian’s phone at night! The room is very basic. There is no carpet no floorboards. We booked a quadruple room with 4 single beds. This is convenient for us as we are two mums with two kids. There is no aircon so it’s very warm in the room on a hot day. We kept window open and there was a car downstairs beeping the horns at 11pm several times trying to get attention for whatever reason. The receptionist doesn’t appear to be professional like those you see in a hotel. They look like students on summer job. Plus side is that the breakfast is quite good. There is a good variety of hot food available. The croissant and mushroom taste great but not so well with the bacon and sausages. All in all if other preferred hotels are sold out I would stay here again but it wouldn’t be my preferred choice.

I spent 1 night in this hostel as I was visiting London for the week-end. The bathroom is only shared between two bedrooms but luckily there was no one in the room next to mine so i did have the bathroom all to myself !! The breakfast is in a big refectory. Overall, really good experience and really safe even for a girl traveling alone : if you go when there's lots of tourists there will always be families with you and the front desk is really helpful. Would not hesitate going back again next time !!

My personal experience here was great! The staff were all helpful and friendly. The shower in our room was really good. The breakfast is 10/10; delicious and a huge variety. The location is amazing as you are close to 1. Tate Modern 2. Borough Market 3. St Paul’s 4. Shakespeare’s Globe and many more. And lastly, they have a luggage room!!! Which is fantastic if you arrive early before check-in and want to leave your bags so you can go out and about. Or, do the same on the day that you’re checking out. Brilliant
