Ibis Styles London Southwark - Near Borough Market

London|0.3km from Shakespeare's Globe
I stayed here while I was doing the London Marathon. I'd booked it quite far in advance (the moment I'd got a ballot place), so I got it for about as cheap as I could get it. Overall, I'm reviewing it from the perspective of both a London Marathon entrant and a regular guest. Some thoughts: LOCATION: The location is pretty good; you're a short walk from Southwark Bridge and the City, as well as the Shard, Borough Market, the Globe and London Bridge station on the south side of the river. Indeed, the fact that it was so close to London Bridge station (the trains from there are probably the best way to get to the London Marathon start lines) was essentially the reason I booked this place. All in all, the location cannot be faulted whatsoever. ROOMS: I stayed in one of the standard rooms, and it was fine. Nothing too much to complain about, but nothing too wild to rave about. The bed could have been a bit comfier, and I think the layout could have been slightly improved to have allowed more floorspace (maybe shrink the bathroom a bit and have a combined toilet/shower room?), but I get that this is a budget(ish) hotel in Central London and space is a commodity. DECOR: Themed to movies and musicals! A fun design, and there were some cool touches here and there, but it was a little cheaply done in places, which detracted from the experience. If this is what constitutes a price difference between ibis styles hotel a regular ibis hotel, I'd probably stick with a regular ibis hotel in future. STAFF: Staff seemed fine. Helpful if a bit reserved. BREAKFAST: Rather disappointing if I'm honest, especially from a marathon runner's perspective. The breakfast options are essentially continental, which in principle is fine, especially given that the clientele for this hotel seemed to be largely Continental European more than British. However, it would still have been nice if they'd offered a few uniquely British options, in particular porridge (I had to sneak in an instant porridge pot down to breakfast on marathon day, and saw other runners doing the same). Also, the quality of the stuff on offer generally speaking was a bit hit or miss. Powdery cakes, gloopy jam, a disorganised buffet, and some really odd things on offer (who has hummus and sliced red pepper for breakfast?!?). Another beef I had was the breakfast opening time on marathon day itself. I, as well as many other guests running the marathon, basically had to descend on the breakfast room at opening time (7 am), which was practically as late as we could have gone for decent pre-marathon fuelling for a start time of between 9:30 and 10:30 am. I really think they should have opened breakfast a bit earlier as a one-off. My parents decided to come down as well and stayed at a nearby Premier Inn, which started serving at 5:30 am. While I don't think they needed to go that far, starting breakfast half an hour to an hour earlier (akin to the weekday start times) wouldn't have gone amiss. Given that the

Native Bankside
4.6/5115 Reviews
Great place to stay if you visit London. The apartment is very large and is well equipped and very clean. We even had 2 bath rooms. The bed was very comfortable. Enough space in the bath rooms to put your shampoos and other items. An elevator is in the building and there is a reception 7/24.You can store easily your luggage if you arrive early or depart lately and there is even a larger toliet on the ground floor that you csn use before check-in or after check-out. Only a few steps away from the river Thames and the milllenium bridge. Many shops and restaurants nearby. The Shard and borough market is only in a 10 minutes walking distance.
LSE Bankside House
4/5108 Reviews
It’s student accommodation which becomes a 3 star B&B when term is out. So you won’t get any frills But to do get a decent sized room which is 1/3 of the price of all other Hotels around Central London. It’s is also in an excellent central location directly behind the Tate Modern and the Thames (opposite St Paul’s) and 6 minutes by Tube from Westminster - it’s nearest station is Southwark which is within walking distance. We got a triple room with an en-suite toilet and shower. There are lots of plug points, storage and good free wifi, It is safe the area around it is well lit plus you can leave your baggage for free if you have arrived early. It has plenty of lifts and the restaurant canteen area is massive. You also get a fully comprehensive breakfast, there is a queue but they do pretty much everything you can imagine. There are also lots of restaurants, pubs and cafes nearby. It has no TV and the air conditioning is a bit on the hot side but apart from that it’s well worth it for a place to crash in London. There is also no mini bar, maid service or fridge it really is geared for people who just want to go out.

Locke at Broken Wharf
4.1/5133 Reviews
Ordinary rooms have no windows and no views. The river view rooms look at the Millennium Bridge and the tate. It is very convenient to go to the South Bank. Go downstairs and directly cross the bridge. Activities in the north need to walk a little bit uphill, the bus station is very close, and the subway station needs to take two more steps. The cafe on the first floor of the hotel is very good. It is suitable for a cup of coffee and a croissant before going out in the morning. You can work downstairs during the day. Overall very recommendable.
Premier Inn London Southwark (Bankside)
4.3/541 Reviews
Stayed at Prem Inn Bankside for a Feb getaway with my wife. Overall a great base if you dont mind walking. Staff were exceptional, very helpful, nothing too much trouble and always really courteous and helpful. Room was clean, spacious and surprisingly quiet given this was London and close to eating and drinking places. I would stay again and happy to recommend for a sensibly priced option in London. Close to Borough Market and plenty of eating and drinking options.
Novotel London Bridge
4.2/5104 Reviews
The rooms are medium in size, with a double bed of 1.5 meters, and a 1.2 meter sofa bed can be added for free if needed. It is suitable for children. It is not a problem to sleep in two big and two small rooms. The sound insulation is also good. Good location, borough, London bridge, mansion house are all within 10 minutes walk. The borough market is right next to the hotel.
