Hotels in Waterloo, Southwark

First off, the location is absolutely fantastic and incredibly easy to find. Most people arrive via Waterloo Underground station. After exiting, look for Exit 2 (right next to M&S). Take the escalator down, turn right, walk straight across the road for about 200 meters, and the hotel will be on your left. Big Ben and the London Eye are just a very short walk away – you can even see the London Eye from the windows! 💝Transportation: Waterloo Tube station is right there, offering effortless access to anywhere you want to go. The real highlight, though, is the extensive and affordable bus network. You can practically reach any attraction from the bus stops directly outside the hotel. Bus 188 goes east to Greenwich Observatory (passing Tower Bridge) and west to the British Museum area (Chinatown is also very close). Bus 139 takes you to Oxford Street, Bus 148 to Hyde Park and Buckingham Palace, and Bus 360 to the Natural History Museum. Just remember to check the bus stand letter when boarding, as stops with the same name are often designated by different letters. 💝Food: Food options abound! You're spoiled for choice with Thai, kebab, Indian, Chinese, Mexican, Pret, Tesco, and more. The fish and chips next to 'Wine Food' directly opposite the hotel are super cheap, and the Lebanese kebab place nearby is also very affordable. Places on Old Vic Street tend to be a bit pricier. It really depends on your personal preference and budget! 💝Breakfast: Haha, the classic, unchanging English breakfast! Don't dismiss it; it's seriously substantial and filling. Honestly, I stayed for 10 days and couldn't get enough of it! 💝Room: A standard twin-bedded room. It's a bit dated but perfectly clean. (Given London's prices, I found this location and the room perfectly reasonable). It would be even better if the front desk staff could smile a bit more!

The hotel's location is fantastic, right by Westminster Bridge. Directly across the street is the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel, which I imagine has even better window views. Our 7th-floor room offered glimpses of the train station and The Shard. However, the 2nd-floor rooms did have a bit of an odd smell. The hotel gets quite busy, so expect queues for breakfast and the elevators. It's wise to avoid peak dining times. The breakfast itself was good!

The accommodation is very good, the transportation is very convenient, then I can sleep freely in this room, then the sound is also relatively low, very good experience, next time I will come back.

Let's start with the positives: The hotel is located at the south end of Westminster Bridge, about a 6-7 minute walk from Waterloo Underground Station. From the room, you can see the London Eye and City Hall. This hotel is perfect for families, as its one-bedroom king suite is approximately 40 square meters and features a separate living/sleeping area. Upon entering, there's a sofa bed, and further inside is the king bed, with separate TVs in both areas. This setup can comfortably accommodate two adults and two children, with a bathroom in the middle. It feels spacious even with more people, and there's plenty of room for luggage. I was pleasantly surprised to find a microwave in the room. Now, for the downsides: Housekeeping service is quite basic; daily cleaning only involves emptying trash, changing towels, and making the bed. They occasionally even forgot to clean. Before check-in, I received an email stating we could get a complimentary bottle of wine if we opted out of housekeeping, but no one offered it proactively when we checked in. The hotel's breakfast is extremely repetitive; not a single dish changes daily, making it very monotonous. It's the same baked beans, sausages, and roasted tomatoes every single day... After an 8-day stay, we were thoroughly fed up with it. However, if you don't eat breakfast there, your options outside are mostly just sandwiches. The hotel does not proactively provide toothpaste, toothbrushes, or slippers. You have to ask the front desk at check-in or call from your room to request them.

The advantage is that the location is very good, the restaurant is also very convenient, and most of the people staying here are British working-class people.

The location is very convenient. It's a popular check-in spot. The room is relatively large in London. The hotel's toiletries are good. I also bought some at the mall. But the room is messy. The waiter doesn't fold the clothes... Usually they will fold them.

The hotel location was great. The train station was 1 min away. The room was small but does have all what needed. If USB charger was available, it would be better.

Staff members were extremely friendly and helpful. Location was good, quieter than city centre (plus points) and surrounded by F&B and supermarkets. Very convenient. 5-7 min walk to 2 tube stations (Waterloo and Lambert North) and 2-3 min walk to bus stops. Room was clean, just that toilet had no shelf to put things. Wardrobe rung runs perpendicular to its door rather than parallel, so clothes had to be hung behind one another and it was rather troublesome to take clothes out.

Self check-in, no front desk. Checking in after 4 o'clock is a bit tricky. The Ctrip agent has not sent me the check-in email yet, and I have been waiting outside for a long time. The room is large and has a complete set of coffee and trays. It is very close to Waterloo Station and within walking distance to Big Ben and Westminster Abbey. Good location
