Native Bankside

A bit hard to find, on a small back street near the Globe Theater. Spacious, modern room, quiet and peaceful place steps away from Borough Market, which is vibrant and heaving with people. Really enjoyed my stay, but 2 thing to be aware of: There is no phone in the room to contact the front desk, and no clock of any sort. Which I found strange. Also, no fire escape map on the door, like there is in every other lodging I have ever stayed in. I got up at 3 am to find the fire escape myself, for peace of mind. Also, no on site restaurant or convenience store. Steps from nice little cafe and Starbucks if you need one... That said, I would definitely stay here again. Good job, Native Bankside!!

I have stayed here before, and would recommend it in general. What I did not appreciate were the repeated check in messages that said action needed, click to pay. I had already prepaid through Expedia. The hotel is part of a chain called Numa, and Expedia and Numa seemed to be jockeying for info about check in. Annoying. Staff were great. A/C was great. Especially during the heat wave. Bathroom was very clean but wood floor was not especially clean. Some kind of nuts or seeds were present.

A bit of dusting in the room, perhaps, AC filter needs to change more often or consider using commercial grade vacuum cleaner. As for the bathroom sink, it is too small or the sink faucet should be replaced to a smaller one to fit the sink. As for the shower floor, a curbless shower floor design provides a wow factor but it is not ideal for daily usage due to drainage issue.

room was good and location was good
