Excellent London City Hotel

If travelling to the hotel from Victoria Station - go by bus! We had a nightmare lugging cases on the underground - much much quicker by the bus which drops you off a short walk from the hotel.

Nice hotel in good location

The hotel is in an excellent location for shopping, food and the underground. The staff were very helpful and even forwarded on an item I left in my room. The only downside I can think of is that the hotel is very busy at checkout time so expect to be waiting for an elevator. I will definitely stay there again.

The new London Bridge and Tombs is much more scary than the dungeons.

perfect location for shopping

Checked in first to room with two single beds. When I asked they said double beds were subject to availability. However they moved us for the second and third nights to a double room which was fine but a little more in need of redecoration than the first room. Did not spoil our stay and all staff were very pleasant. Breakfasts were very good value.
