Wonderful Stay Near Southwark

great locationmodern roomdelicious breakfast

The location is amazing. The Southwark Underground Station is just a block away. I easily walked to the Tate Modern and Waterloo Station from the hotel. Charlie's Corner restaurant impressed me with its quality. The breakfast buffet had nice options each day, even if the selection didn't vary much.

The lighting system needs some improvement, as the master switch must be on to use the bathroom light.
