Seb the manager was very good and was always there if needed, very accomodating in the bar, especially with the various TV sports channels available. Nice & quiet room. Room was cleaned regularly, plenty of facilities within the room and in the communal kitchen if required, including washing machine and tumble dryer. Only a 30 minute walk to London Bridge, 15 minute walk to Old Kent Road, handy bus stop just outside the hotel for buses into and back from the city if you don't fancy the walk. Local mini market a couple of minutes walk away, big supermarket on Old Kent Road. Various takeaways in the locality if required.
Nothing really, it's not advertised as a luxury hotel, so you know what you are getting and it didn't disappoint.

The personnel was very helpful, especially with regard to storing our bikes. The visitors at the bar were very kind as well, we enjoyed staying there.
We know London can be kind of shabby, it is part of the charm of visiting. It is a pity however the neighbourhood is so bad. We hope the renovation that is going on will soon upgrade the housing around the hotel as well. The bar and hotel itself however is very nice, and really upgrades the entire place.

The staff was really friendly and helpful they made us feel welcome and made sure if we needed anything they sorted it straight away, Location was a big factor as we needed it to be close to a underground so we could travel easy around London, with Elephant and castle just up road and with buses regularly taking us too and from right outside the hotel it was awesome for this. Then price 3 of us two rooms side by side for 3 nights Friday, Saturday and Sunday no where else came close to matching price this has a backpack mentality to its customers but was perfectly suitable for me, my friend and her daughter. There is a lovely little lake just a minutes walk away from hotel beautiful wild life and nice area to unwind
First night was a struggle not on the fault of the hotel but a guest had been out to a concert got wasted on drugs or alcohol and fell out the taxi the staff did everything they could to help him get sorted but with it been first night it was loud with ambulance arriving and shouting outside etc but again this was not the fault of the hotel and they did everything to help the guy .

The rooms are situated above, The Hour Glass Pub. A good ol' English boozer and there aren't many left like this one! Drinks offers and well priced drinks keeps a steady flow of the regulars coming back each day, until late. You'll find all the Sports on the big screens. From live horse racing, football, rugby, cricket, tennis, or go for the bullseye with a game of darts in the bar?! Whatever tickles your fancy, wherever you are from, if you want to experience the real london, do it like the locals! For the bargain bookers on a tighter budget these Basic but brilliant bedrooms and big, bright bathrooms just cannot be beaten!!! Knowledgeable, friendly, hardworking staff from all over the place. Nice bunch of real people who will go out of their way to make your stay the best that London has to give.

Location was good for visiting Kings College hospital. Staff were lovely, very accommodating and kind and friendly. They turned what could have been a very lonely and scary experience into something much more bearable. Room was clean and had lots of windows, and a fan was provided which was nice for ventilation during the very hot week that I stayed. Having use of the kitchen was good and there were pizzas on offer from the pub downstairs for about £7 which is really reasonable for London prices (although I didn't have one so can't comment on how good they are!). There was even a desk in the room so I could get some work done! Even though bathrooms were shared they were kept very clean and tidy. I wasn't expecting the Ritz...it's a cheap stay in Camberwell but it did the job and was in a good location for what I needed and the staff absolutely made my stay, thank you!
Bit of an unpleasant smell through the main hallway a while after cleaning had been done, however it was kept really clean every day. The fridge in my room didn't work on arrival, however the staff changed it for another as soon as I mentioned it. When I had a shower in the shower room on my floor the automatic lighting decided to turn off shortly after I got under the water so I showered in the dark which was slightly annoying! Could do with adjusting the sensor in that room!

Very nice and helpful people, who also run the Irish pub next to the rooms. For the price range everything was solid. Public transport via bus or tube was near, as were supermarkets, etc. Good if you need a place to sleep for a few nights.
At least the room I was in had not much space to put my belongings and the building, the floors, and furniture have some years on them. In that price range ok though.

A simple but clean and tidy room. really nice welcome and the gentleman who booked us in and took us to our room was fabulous. explained everything and even gave us information about the local area. room is basic and a bit tired but it is clean and they have thought of all the extras including shower gel!! Also complimentary tea and coffee in the room and even a fridge!!
good 15 minute walk to the tube station

The staff were super friendly... Jason (i think) on reception and I met Seb too... Both good guys and very welcoming and helpful.
The room was clean and tidy but a bit basic... Tbf, all I really wanted was a bed and private shower for the night and in the am, so have no complaints. Well, maybe some milk in the fridge would have been good, for my coffee in the morning.

Clean and tidy room. The owner greeted us and was polite and friendly. We were at the top of the building so not disturbed by noise from the pub. The bus stop was right outside for ease of travelling. The kitchen looked clean and tidy although we didnt need it.
Could've done with More than 1 pillow each. The fan heater was not very effective. The bedside light just flickered when turned on so not usable. The fridge was quite noisy at night too.

it’s a good value for the money, stuff is incredibly nice. There’s a “community” kitchen that has everything you’d need so that you can cook for yourself which was great. The location is a bit far on foot but there’s a bus station right in front which takes you to center in about 10 minutes.
the rooms are really small but if you’re there mainly to have a place to sleep at like us, then it’s great value
