LSE Bankside served my needs well. I knew that it's a student residence and I was ready to stay in a basic room that's normally meant for students. This is a really great option for London. The accommodation in London is super expensive and one can pay lots for a room in a hotel and be quite disappointed with its quality. I loved the location of LSE Bankside. It's the center of London and we walked to many landmarks. Sometimes we took buses or used the Tube (the stops and stations were close by (10 min walk maximum)). This residence is literally a 4-minute walk away from the Globe theatre and the Thames embankment. We also walked (15 min.) to the National Theatre. LSE Bankside is located essentially in the courtyard/back of Tate Modern, so the noise level is not terrible at all. We slept with our windows open. Of course it's London and one could hear the helicopters patrolling the center of the city even in the middle of the night, but one can hear practically zero traffic noise from this residence. The windows are huge and ceilings are high, so there's plenty of fresh air and light in the room, which is great. The beds were twin but the mattresses were comfortable, the linen was 100% cotton and clean, the bedding is quite good. For what it is -- that is a student residence -- there's nothing to complain about. The desk, wardrobe, dresser, and bedside table were all new or in excellent condition. The reception staff (mostly LSE students) are super nice and helpful. The staff in the restaurant (the breakfast always included enough food choices and it's a buffet style breakfast) is hard-working and friendly. I also appreciated that there was residence security on site 24/7. An option to leave your luggage in a constantly supervised/locked room is a bonus. Even though there're no hairdryers in the rooms, one can borrow a hairdryer from the reception downstairs. I would definitely stay in LSE Bankside again.

The hotel is located on Bankside, 5 minutes walk from the Thames and the "new" Globe theatre and directly opposite the Tate Modern. There are cafés, supermarkets and various restaurants in the immediate vicinity. If you are travelling from Gatwick Airport, you should take the Thameslink train to Blackfriars station. Then leave the station in the opposite direction (follow the signs for Tate Modern/Bankside) and you will be at the hotel in just under 3 minutes on foot (note: Google gives different information here and recommends getting off at London Bridge, which is a 13-minute walk). The hotel is only open to travellers between June and October. Otherwise it is a student residence. The hotel therefore basically has the charm of a youth hostel. And so most of the guests tend to be under 30. Everything is kept very simple, but - it must be emphasised - very clean. The beds in the rooms look like cots at first glance, but they have good mattresses and are therefore very comfortable and you can sleep very well. The breakfast - in a kind of canteen - is very extensive, with both English breakfast and Continental breakfast. The coffee and the cappuccino are very good. There are also plenty of croissants and pain au chocolat, as well as muesli and lots of fresh fruit. As I said, you shouldn't expect luxury, but you can get good accommodation for little money in this expensive city. I would like to emphasize the friendliness of the ladies at the breakfast buffet. Coupled with a pinch of humor, they serve up the fried eggs or beans. The housekeeping staff were always very friendly, polite and smiled when you greeted them. There was also a very nice young man at the reception (blond hair and glasses) who was very accommodating and helpful.

Superb location. Very friendly and efficient check-in at reception. It was a very hot weekend and I feared the worse as I knew the room would not have air-con, but I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't too warm. Two large windows which could be opened, and generally a good-sized room helped a lot. The single room I had shared a bathroom with just one other room which was a bonus. (and that room was empty for the night I was there - so even better 😃) The breakfast was great, both in terms of choice and quality.

Rooms at LSE's Bankside House are an amazing value for the rate. Accommodations are definitely on the budget side, but the en suite bathroom, cleanliness, and location cannot be beat. The Tate Modern is just ACROSS THE STREET and my room fee was less than one of my theater tickets. My son was living on one of the dormitory floors of the building while attending LSE, so it made it very easy to meet up for our sightseeing and theater outings. Strongly recommend if you're not super fussy about fancy accommodations.

Margaret

The location is spectacular, tucked behind Tate Modern. Staff are brilliant, included breakfast is varied and all you can eat. Loved being around summer students from across the world in the bustling canteen. Comfortable quiet room. Shared bathroom was only accessible by two single rooms, but I was lucky and noone was staying in the other room, so I effectively had my own private bathroom.
