A friend and I spent two nights at LSE Bankside in July. The property is in a fabulous location practically on the riverbank and next to the Tate Modern. The area is vibrant but not crowded. The accommodation is great, a basic room but clean and comfortable with a private bathroom ( great shower), with the advantage of the use of a communal kitchen. Staff were lovely, breakfast buffet style and plentiful. Added bonus was being able to leave our bags after check-out in a manned luggage room. Great stay

It is very much student accommodation, it wasn’t clear to me at time of booking so I was disappointed. It’s ok for students or budget travellers I guess but don’t be mistaken that it’s any more than a bed and toilet really.

The breakfast was great and although basic the rooms serve their purpose. The big issue for us was the noise on the corridors at night. Loads of kids running back and forth and shouting until midnight and then hammering on doors in the morning. Clearly a school or summer camp group but no supervision from adults.

Fantastic location, price, and breakfast. Stayed two nights, and it was very quiet on my floor, even though it was also busy. Would absolutely stay again (I've always liked hostels, but do love the en suite single option). Only real negative was that the kitchen on my floor never seemed to be open, so had to go to the ground floor to fill my water bottle. Not a deal breaker.

Very affordable, clean accommodation in central London, with helpful check-in staff and a really good buffet breakfast included in the price. Rooms were basic but perfectly functional and served our needs. It's not a hotel, so no TVs in rooms or air conditioning, but rooms are bigger than many hotels I've stayed in across central London and we had no issues during our stay, other than it being a bit warm overnight (but we were in the middle of a heatwave). I'd happily book again - particularly if staying with family, as twin beds are sometimes tricky to find.

Perfect stay, basic accommodation but everything you need. Breakfast included, tea/coffee making facilities in room and shared kitchen down the hall. Staff were friendly and helpful. Booked an en-suite which was perfect. Well situated in central London, 3 underground stations fairly nearby though it is a 10-12 minute walk to each which was tiring in the heatwave but for the money it's fabulous! Also was a very quiet location, expected to hear more noise from nearby rooms but maybe I just got lucky?

London was hot and humid. There was no air conditioning or fans in the room, the window only opened a couple of inches. No air at all.

The light in the bathroom flickered.
The bathroom floor needed sweeping.

We had to leave a day early since we just couldn't hear to stay there.
We are trying to figure out how to get our money back for the night we didn't stay.

Breakfast was good though.

I was weary to stay in a dorm but it was great. It was very clean. The breakfast was excellent and filling. The staff were so nice. It had a lovely safe family feeling. I loved the area. Right across from Tate. It was handy to many tubes - the walk to Blackfrairs tube is actually much quicker with shortcuts that Google Maps doesn’t show. Luggage storage in a giant room with others but they take your name and give you a number - have to show ID to pick it up so very safe. Kitchen you can use. It was extremely hot, but anyplace without air con would have been during the 30 degree heat. Ask for a fan at the desk for a wee bit of a reprieve, but still hot. Quiet where it is, but lots of action just around the corners. Great value for London.

If you’re looking for a no frills, basic stay in London, with a good breakfast, this is the place. Rooms and beds were basic and It wasn’t spotless, but it was perfect for a night. Unfortunately when we stayed it was very hot and the room didn’t really cool off even through the night, but that’s no one’s fault. Breakfast was wonderful but be prepared to wait in line for a bit to get it. It is worth it though.

Family of four (2 teenage daughters) travelling to London for a one night stay. We had low expectations given the price we paid. Everywhere else was at least double the price.
Check in was easy. We could store luggage simply and safely before and after our check in/out times. Beds and bedding were basic, but firm and comfortable.
Shower pressure was superb. Much better than at home.
Kettle in the room. Bring your own Yorkshire Tea if you want to make a proper brew. There is no drinking water from the bathroom taps so you need to use the water dispensers dotted around the place for filling water bottles.
Breakfast was great. Lots of choice. I went for the full English. There was fresh fruit and also more than enough beige food to please fussy children.
I also have to say that unlike stays I’ve had in more upmarket hotels, the coffee was decent. Well done! Good coffee matters!!!
Overall, really pleased. Highly recommended and would stay again for our next trip to the capital.

Overall, I had a pleasant stay. The location was excellent, the rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the breakfast spread was very good.

However, the customer service could be improved. During the extreme heat warnings, the rooms became very warm as there is no air conditioning. Fans were not provided proactively, and we had to repeatedly request one before it was finally arranged.

The reception staff also came across as quite rude when we asked for basic necessities such as shower gel and soap, which was disappointing.

That said, the location, food, and quality of the rooms were wonderful, and with better customer service, this would be an excellent place to stay.

The room was clean and basic, what you would expect from a student dormitory, on a par with a budget hotel including toiletries, kettle, tea and coffee plus powerful shower. No TV but you don't go to London to watch TV and no air con. Prime location next to Tate Modern
Breakfast was excellent and much better than would expect from a budget hotel, and it was included in the £58 price which made it really excellent value for this part of London - worth it for the breakfast alone! Full cooked breakfast with vegetarian and vegan options and things you won't get at Premier Inn or Travelodge like Tofu Shakshuka and excellent mango frozen yoghurt. Really good - I went early and got served straight away but when I left by 8.30 there was a very long queue so get there early when it is busy.

Excellent location. Fine for one night. Bed was a camp style spare bed with a thin mattress which wasn’t the most comfortable. It’s a student halls so it’s a basic room and shared bathroom and excellent value for the price. Breakfast is plentiful but the “hot” food was pretty cold.

Would stay again for a one night stop over.

Enjoyed our stay at LSE Bankside

This accommodation is perfectly adequate with a great location for amenities and everything that London has to offer. We had a basic room with private bathroom and although the decor is a little basic/tired, it was clean and comfortable with extras in the room - kettle, plenty of tea, coffee, milk (noteworthy, as you often have ask for more!) and toiletries. Helpful, polite staff and on requesting a couple of extra pillows, they were given to us straight away. There was a wonderful breakfast choice, though there is a queue to get in, worth noting if you are in a hurry. I wonder if there is a way that this could be improved? We stayed for one night and would definitely stay again.

Excellent!

Everything you want from a weekend hotel, crucially with nothing else you don't need!
Superb setup from reception, to bag storage to the rooms and breakfast the next day.
Rooms are simple, comfortable and quiet.

Another good stay here

Was upgraded on this visit. A very nice surprise but it was on the ground floor, close to/facing the entrance. Lovely room, very eco friendly. But I do prefer a quieter location
All the staff are incredibly friendly, very happy and enthusiastic, coping admirably with a seemingly endless queue of guests
Breakfast is excellent

Positives outweigh the negatives.

Positives: Great location, clean room, really good power shower, comfy bed, great breakfast.

Negatives: Loud slamming doors and too hot even with a fan and the window open.

Great location and decent condition for the pric

Great accomodation for the price. I had a single room with a shared bathroom with one other room but that was unoccupied so I had it to myself. The building isn't particularly up to date in terms of appearance or facilities but it did just fine (reasonable given the price paid for a central location). Didn't eat breakfast but it looked good. I slept well in the bed. No major issues or anything, would stay again.

This is a great low cost option for summer travelers. The staff are great, the breakfast is generous, the room was clean (albeit old), and the location is fantastic! My biggest complaint were the beds. The mattresses were springy and terrible. We also had a problem with noise outside since many party goers were staying for carnival, but that wasn’t the property’s fault. Overall good value for money, just wish the beds has been more comfortable.

Good location, clean and reasonably priced

Stayed here for the weekend whilst attending BBC Proms. Room spacious and clean with decent shared bathroom, and access to communal kitchen area.

Breakfast had good choice and was of a decent quality.

Accommodation very close to Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe, and within easy walking distance of buses and Southwark tube station.

Price for three nights very reasonable, given the cost of bigger chain hotels that use dynamic pricing.

It was very hot over the weekend, so maybe fans could be provided in the rooms during summer months.

Other than that, very satisfied and would stay again.

It is student accomodation but you have everything you need in the room for a hot drink, rest, privacy, to get nice and clean in the hot showers, toiletries and if you are lucky a lovely view too.
All the staff I met were brilliant naming Leila,
Natasha, Siraya,Amy, Sovna, and particularily Patricia on security. They were all well informed, helpful and cheery!
I have been to hotels in London paid much more without such an incredible breakfast offering and not had any of that! The breakfast is up with some of the 4star places I have stayed!
As a seasoned expert traveller, I really recommend.
The only comment I would make is the canteen staff need to change focus to paying customers in their approach (I could told off in front of people for taking an extra piece of fruit!!!!!! The member of staff apologised personally to me) and the bathroom floor could have been just a little more buff. Nothing to put me off though.
Thanks LSE Bankside team. I am already coming back friday night. See you then!x

Very good experience

These is hall of residence for students, the rooms become available at certain times of the year. There are several choices. The basic room we chosen was ok. The service, the staff and security nice people. The breackfast is outstanding for the price! Overall very good. 3 just represents the basic room with 3 beds and enduit toilet & shower. 4 is probably overall experience. 5 for staff and breackfast and location.

For the money that we paid it was a great option. The location is great. It’s near subway station. It is a dormitory for the London School of Economics and Political Sciences. The room was spacious but the mattress are not comfortable. The room was clean but the bathroom facilities were old. The breakfast was way more better than our expectations.

Located in central London, and walkable to most attractions, great restaurants and food options. Quiet, clean, basic and wonderful hot breakfast with lots choices.
It’s a university student residence outside of the summer months.

Excellent value in a great location

Have been here several times and always select an en-suite room. It's not in a quiet location and there is lots going on outside at all hours

What stands out is the amazing friendly reception team who work tirelessly and their ability to help beats some 'posh' hotels in which I've also stayed

The breakfast is excellent with a wide range of foods/drinks from which to choose. It is inevitably busy during the holidays but the queue moves smoothly and there is always room to sit

Highly recommended

Brilliant location

If you want air-conditioned splendour then this is not for you. If you don't want to spend a fortune but want to be centrally located then it does the job. Unfortunately our stay coincided with a really hot spell and the building was rather warm, but reception provided a fan which helped at night (but we wouldn't have been much cooler at home!). Staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfast (included) was surprisingly good with lots of choice (we enjoyed the fresh fruit, muesli and toast). Be warned, it was full of school parties who seemed to clog up public areas, but there was still plenty of room in the dining area and we weren't aware of any noise at night. So not a place for a luxury stay, but ideal for a few nights in a brilliant, central location (i.e. short walk from the Millenium Bridge).

Budget room, great breakfast!

We stayed in a triple room with private bathroom, we all slept well despite quite a bit of street noise (we were on level 3).
Every member of staff we spoke to was lovely!
If you just need a basic room for sleeping only (no TV, no frills) then you can't go wrong here.
