“I think this Southbank property stands out for its well-equipped apartments, complete with kitchens and laundry-ideal for longer family stays. I especially appreciate the reported attentiveness, where returning guests are known by name, along with the practical perks like on-site parking. Its location is a genuine advantage; tucked away from the noise, but an easy walk to Southbank's attractions.”
