Short review: I just finished a 5 night reward stay at this property. The property is 5-7 minutes away from both the Blackfriars (Circle/District) and Southwark (Jubilee) tube stations.

I was upgraded to a Spacious King room. I don't believe there are many suites available at this property after gleaning the floor map. There were three of us including my spouse and 13yr old. The room was very nice with comfortable bedding and an artsy and modern bathroom. The room wasn't that large but certainly comfortable enough for us, recognizing that the size is typical of London hotels. The front desk were kind enough to comp breakfast for my kid as well.

Breakfast was as indicated in previous posts: good quality but lacking the breadth of options. They serve a very typical english breakfast. I especially enjoyed the espresso drinks served.

Pros:
  • beautiful property including rooms and bathroom
  • decent brekkie
  • very nice staff
  • fast, modern elevators
  • great location on south bank - Globe Theatre, Tate Modern, St. Paul's Cathedral, Borough Market....
Cons
  • no lounge which would have been a nice retreat in the rare London heat
Overall, I would not hesitate to stay there again.
