Rooms & rate
What you're paying for
Four tiers — Shoebox → Snug → Cosy → Roomy. The rate includes a breakfast bag and an hour of free local calls, with no resort fee. Shoebox rooms are genuinely tiny; for a stay over two nights, size up to Cosy.
Why we say this
Insider secrets & local vibes
The Southwark location puts the Tate Modern, Borough Market and the river within a 10-minute walk — rare value for the price tier.
Not independently verified — estimated
The entry-level 'Shoebox' rooms live up to the name; size up if you'll spend any daytime in the room.
