Ruby Lucy Hotel London

My 1st time staying at the hotel. I chose it for proximity to Waterloo Station. It was tricky to find (London cabbie had no idea where Lower Marsh Street was!) however, it is a 3 min walk out the back door of Waterloo Station, has great pubs/restaurants on the block, and is within walking distance of the Old Vic and the National Theatre. The staff are lovely and the cleaning ladies did a great job (please leave them big tips!) My room was on the 4th floor and the 'common area' as you step off the elevator which has tea and powdered coffee facilities (great selection of teas) and an iron/ironing board. The room was tiny even by London standards. The king bed was super comfy and the linens were luxurious. I appreciated the blackout curtains. However, if you were staying with a friend/family member the glass shower had a curtain on one side, but you would be fully on display while showering (just like a stripper!) The closet was ample for my short (5 night) stay, however, there were no drawers so I was living out of my suitcase. Also, the only place to sit is the bed or a tiny wooden stool. The closet safe was large enough for a small laptop. The hotel offers free - unsecured - wifi. I enjoyed my stay and its location and the lovely staff were great. The neighbourhood is very colourful and there are street food vendors during some weekdays and lots of spots to have a drink/food.

The loveliest staff, amazing location and super clean chic room. Will definitely stay again :) very baby friendly!
