Southwark Rose Hotel

We stayed here for three nights for a special birthday.Fantastic Hotel.Clean, modern freindly staff and very centrally located.The breakfast is a bit expensive if it is not included but there are plenty of little cafes in the area.

I have stayed here many times over the last 12 months on business. My company has an office just over London Bridge, near the Monument. The hotel is very modern and clean and has a reasonable restaurant on top. Location is good for access to the City & Tube and price is reasonable considering the location...as a tourist though location would be poor IMHO. The rooms are on the small side but well designed and air conditioned, which is vital for the Summer. There is free use of a safe in the room. The bathrooms have no bath, just a shower so no long soaks after a hard day!! I have always found the staff very polite and helpful. As others have said, the beds are firm and so are the pillows..neither of which trouble me. I recommend solo travelers go for the double bed option as the single beds are small. I have never had a problem with noise at the hotel, so no disturbed nights due to other peoples TVs etc. The hotel seems to be in a mobile phone blackspot for Vodafone and I get a very poor signal and my laptop 3G card simply does not work unless I go to the bar area adjacent to the restaurant. the hotle offers a paid wireless service which i have found worked very reliably.

We stayed for two nights on our way back to Australia. The Hotel is well located two minutes walk from London Bridge tube station and worked well as our launch pad. The hotel is modern and clean, however, we would not go back simply due to how rock hard and uncomfortable the bed was and the pillows were lumpy. If you are looking for a good nights sleep, unless your a very large person or commonly sleep on a bed of nails at home, you will not find it here :( Almost a perfect gem in London if not for this fatal flaw, but easily remedied. The couple who checked out before us also complained about their bed so we suspect it was not an isolated case.
