City London Hotel sits at 30 Borough Road, London SE1 0AJ, opposite South Bank University. Every room listed has a private bathroom, and the building has two lifts serving its floors. Other amenities on the listing include non-smoking rooms, heating, daily housekeeping, facilities for disabled guests and a tea and coffee maker in all rooms. The hotel also states that free mineral water is provided. Continental breakfast is available and paid for separately rather than rolled into the room rate. Altogether it is a straightforward budget hotel with the practical facilities most short-stay guests look for, and nothing on the listing suggests hidden extras beyond the paid breakfast.
The hotel lists four room types: Double Room, Twin Room, Triple Room and Family Room. All four come with a private bathroom, so there are no shared-bathroom options at this property. The spread runs from doubles for two guests through triples to family rooms, which makes the hotel one of the few budget listings on this site that names a family room among its standard types rather than as a special request. The listing also flags family rooms among its popular amenities, alongside free wifi, non-smoking rooms and a tea and coffee maker in every room. Exact bed configurations for each type are set out on the booking page, and the room type you choose is confirmed there before you pay. For groups of three or more, the Triple and Family Rooms are the options to compare on price for your dates.
The address is 30 Borough Rd, London SE1 0AJ, in the South Bank, Waterloo and London Bridge area on the Southwark and Borough side. The nearest station is Elephant & Castle Underground Station, a 13 minute walk from the hotel, sitting in fare zone 1+2. The hotel itself sits opposite South Bank University, which is the one landmark the listing names for orientation. This is the only walk time given on the listing, so treat it as the anchor for judging the position: a stay that puts you within walking distance of an Underground station while sitting on a regular road in SE1. Anything further afield is best checked against your own plans using the postcode, and the booking confirmation carries the full address and telephone number after you book.
