Native Bankside 1 Bear Gardens, London SE1 9ED

"I loved the sleek and modern design of the room. It was very clean and comfortable which always makes for a great stay. The staff were friendly and available to answer any questions about the room or the surrounding area during our stay. The room did have a kitchenette which included 2-burner stove, refrigerator, dishwasher and laundry machine. There are so many great dining options within a 5 minute walk, that we did not use the kitchen at all."

"Great location, highly accessible to a range of transport options. The room was tastefully designed with a well equipped kitchenette. The wifi connection was fantastic. I guess that the room layout/configuration varied. My room is perfectly fine for one person, could be a bit of a struggle for two people. My room is next to the lift/stairwell, whilst great for evacuation, it was noisy at times. Both the check-in and check-out were smooth. The team member for check-out was particularly caring and efficient. Thank you."

"The apartment was a lovely size and we appreciated being able to help ourselves to filtered water. Extremely comfortable bed and worked very well for 3 people as there were 2 bathrooms. The location is perfect for accessing everywhere and would stay there again. would be nice if we had been able to open a window as less of a fan of a/c but only a minor issue."

"Our premium studio was comfy, well furnished and equipped with everything we could ask for. We loved the ability to control the lighting and the AC worked perfectly. Some of the best hotel toiletries I've used too. Will definitely be staying again!"

"You won't stumble across this hotel—it's literally in an alley that cars cannot go completely through! In fact, it's the old Empire Tea Warehouse that has been converted to a brand new hotel. It seems like a new hotel inside the skin of the old warehouse and it's quite charming. The hotel location is right off an alley that ends at the River Thames. You are across the street from the Shakespeare Globe Theater and walking distance to an amazing array of restaurants and the famous Borough Market. The hotel itself is new and therefore very clean and polished. We had a room that was very odd in configuration but we accidentally booked the room that is tagged for a short stay rather than the a long stay. No matter, it was comfortable and had all the amenities of a flat—including a refrigerator, stove, washer/dryer, cookware and utensils for staying in. A grocery store is only a short couple blocks away as well. Last but not least, there is a dock at the end of the alley where you can pick up the river boats for transport or tours to Westminster or Tower of London. We highly recommend this place as a comfortable, affordable stay that checks off all the boxes. Including a helpful staff on hand 24/7."
