Saudi Arabia“The place is so near to some of the tourist spots like the house of parliament and London 's eye.” - Susan United Kingdom“We loved the central location. The Walrus is dated but that adds to the charm of the building. Breakfast was basic but good enough to start the day. There is a lot of places to eat next to the Walrus and a co-op opposite. The staff were friendly...”
Laurel Australia“It was in a fabulous location close to the metro and in walking distance to the Thames and Big Ben. Our room ( a private twin) was nice and bright with 2 windows but we needed the windows open as it was a bit musty with some marks on the walls.(...”- Carlos
Brazil“Great location. I stayed in a 28-bed room and had no issues—quiet guests and train noise wasn't a problem. Friendly staff, but the restrooms were small and there were only two showers on my floor.”
