Good location, nice food - EXCELLENT staff. Only drawback is claustrophobic lift - rather like being locked in a single wardrobe (says it holds 2 - must be 2 anorexic dwarves). Spotless bedclothes and bathroom which is my priority, so no complaints on that score (although bedspreads could do with up-dating) Very creaky floors upstairs- so heard every footstep of... More

The Southbank Hotel was very central for all shops and attractions. Rooms were a bit basic but very clean. I did find it very warm on first night but turned radiator off after that. Meals were excellent and were served by very smart and polite staff. The menus had 4 different choices which meant there was always something you liked.... More
