LSE Bankside House map

The location of this hostel in LSE is superb, very close to the city center, there are two subway stations Blackfrairs and Southwark nearby, both ten minutes to fifteen minutes walk away. Bankside Pier is also a ten-minute walk away, where you can take the Uber boat. Opposite the dormitory is Tate Modern Museum, behind the museum is the banks of the Thames, the Millennium Bridge and St Paul's Church are all within easy reach. If you go to the Boro market, you can also walk for ten minutes. From the perspective of geographical location, the price of a single room with a bathroom, breakfast, cost-effective. Breakfast is very rich, from 7:00 to 9:30 in the morning, there are sausages, fried eggs, bread, milk, yogurt, fruit, etc.... And the dormitory is not bad, the room is very clean. The front desk attitude for check-in and check-out is also very good, it is not as enthusiastic as the hotel, but it is a normal attitude. In terms of facilities, I booked a single room, but the actual room had two beds, so the room became very narrow. The view in the room is very good, and the view is the fragmented building. The dormitory building may be built earlier, and it feels that there are many very old-fashioned places in the building, such as many rooms on the same floor (more than 40 rooms), the corridors are rounded seven times, and various fire doors are walking like a maze. The windows are open upwards, so the switches need to step on the chairs. The water pipe is not soundproof at all. If you use water next door, you will hear a very loud water pipe sound in the room (thanks to the roommates in the two rooms next door, they are very qualified. After 11 o'clock in the evening, between 8 o'clock in the morning, there is basically no water. When you use it, you can hear the sound very small. It should be a small flow). As a British student who has lived in the school dormitory for many years, I can fully accept the small room and the simple facilities (kettle, cups, tea bags, soap, shampoo, body soap, bath towels, etc., no hair dryer and fan), but to be honest, The noise of the water pipe is a bit beyond my expectations. Other things I care a little about are: 1. The number of people staying in is at least a few hundred, and there are all ages. When I come down for breakfast at 8 o'clock, I have to queue for a long time. 2. The bathroom has a very flushing smell. I don't know if it is disinfectant or paint. I can't dissipate the window for two days. I regret that I didn't ask for a replacement on the first day. 3. There is a kitchen lock on the floor where I stayed, so more than 40 rooms on the whole floor share a kitchen. These problems were not encountered when I was staying in other school dormitories, so I kind of mind. If it doesn't matter to these, then this is definitely a very cost-effective accommodation choice.

The location is very convenient as it is not far away from both of the Tran station and the underground station. The breakfast is also very good with a variety of food choices. While the room is spacious, it’s a bit old and need to share the bathroom with the other person.

You get what you pay for, and the price shows that everything is simple. Find a room to find a water room to find an exit like a maze. Have psychological preparation and material preparation. It is commendable that the breakfast is rich in variety of food.

Good breakfast and strategic location, will choose to stay again.

excellent location, very friendly staff, surprisingly good breakfast. Definitely good choice for London.
