From check in to check out the General Manager was friendly and very professional. Eshma helped us at 2AM with our food cravings! Shes so wonderful and very nice! Kudos!

The good. Fairly quiet and comfortable. Close to Waterloo station and buses. The breakfast was good but a little expensive and not open early or for long.

The bad. The staff the first couple of days was quite rude. I got the impression that because we were foreigners we were treated poorly. That's fine. I literally walked by a staff member and said good morning and she looked me in the eye and kept walking.

Nice stay. Good location.

We booked this hotel due to its location of the tube and the fireworks display New Years Eve. It was a 5 min walk to the Waterloo Tube station and within a 10 min walk to the Imperial War Museum. The room was super small but what more do you really need than a place to lay your head down. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They let me drop of our suitcase before we checked in so I didn't have to lug it around London all day. The Bar has a happy hour from 3-6p and a nice breakfast selection. I would like to warn people that the Free Wifi is only for 30 min. after that you have to pay $3 for 24hrs.

Great value in great location

Probably the best value accommodation in London. The rooms are of a reasonable size, the bed is very comfortable, the breakfast is fine, there is a bar/restaurant. I was on the 8th floor and had a lovely view. Staff sermed genuinely friendly, unlike some Premier Inns I have stayed at. The location it's excellent, many bus routes stop over the road and Waterloo Station is a 5 minute walk away. It is only a leisurely 15 minutes walk to the theatre district. Would thoroughly recommend staying here over a character filled but often compromised B & B.

Hotel in central London

The evening I booked in, I noticed no shower Curtin on the shower. Having reported the issue, the Curtin was put in place. The following morning I found no shampoo/ body lotion in the dispenser in the shower. I had to report the problem on two occasions before it was sorted out. There was a layer of dust on a shelf with a folded white towel resting on it. The carpet under the bed and around the bedroom door was dirty. The inside of the bedroom door was covered in a white dust. The door that gave access to the bedrooms from the lift wouldn't open when I inserted my bedroom key card on the middle night of my stay and it wasn't fixed before I checked out. I ended up having to get out of the lift on the previous foor and walking up the stairs. On the morning that I checked out, the hotel couldn't provide its normal range of breakfast became of the large crowd of people that presented for breakfast. They seemed understaffed and badly organised. The hashbrowns were disgusting. The sausages were delicious. There was a water leak beside the toilet.

Good value hotel

This hotel is a good clean basic point from which to explore many areas. We walked easily into Covent garden (15-20 mins) and enjoyed exploring the South Bank and Gabriel's Wharf. Staff personable and helpful, giving me Earl Grey tea bag for morning tea in my room. I would recommend to anyone who doesn't mind walking a bit, and likes to find interesting areas in south london. One point - please hotel management - you are not the only hotel to do this - can you put plugs, mirrors and dressing tables together so one can dry hair easily in front of a mirror for example.

Central to London attractions

The hotel staff were without exception friendly and hard working. The room was clean, however as we had seen from previous reviews, impossibly hot. We didn't expect this to be a problem visiting in October, but despite two fans on constantly it made for very uncomfortable sleeping conditions. The unseasonably warm weather, whilst welcome in the day didn't help.
Also, despite booking through Expedia for 2 adults and a child, the booking was only made for a double room, not a family as expected. Luckily the Travelodge was able to find us a family room, but families take care when booking, very misleading, it appears our child travelled with us as an 'optional extra' which 'could not be guaranteed until arrival' at the hotel!
Overall, a good stay, good location, and reasonably priced food for the quality. A free left luggage facility would have been helpful, such as other hotels offer, though bags can be left at Waterloo for £10 each per day.

Very clean hotel. Staff very pleasant and friendly. Welcomed us. Food very reasonable and drink not expensive. We were one adult and two teenagers so nice to be somewhere close to Subway, Macdonalds, Sainsburys local etc for getting snacks. Travel just across road and bus service superb. 10 mins walk to London Eye, Aquarium etc. Tube and Waterloo train station 5 mins away. Good sized family room. Just a bit hot but hotel provided us with a fan so did their best. Lifts to all floors. Breakfast cheap as kids eat free. TV in room plus kettle. Bedding clean, bathroom great. On the whole would go back and for price a good deal. Not lots of luxuries but ideal for a base for sight seeing and enjoying London - Oh and 10 mins walk from Imperial War Museum.

Plugs

I was surprised that there was no hair dryer in the room. It was lucky I found out before I took a shower! In addition, when I did get a dryer (from reception), the lead was not long enough to reach the mirror. The plug was at the far end of the small table but the mirror was half way down the wall. I stay in London a lot and thought that this problem disappeared years ago!
Suggest either (a) move the mirrors to a more convenient place (b) put a mirror over the table , (c) add a mirror over the table or (d) put a longer lead on the hair dryers!
My room was 520.
Can I also suggest that your web site indicates whether or not breakfast is included in the price offered?

Überteuert, kein gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis

Das Zimmer an sich war ok, allerdings für den Preis überteuert. Es gab Wischflecken an der Badezimmerarmatur, keinen Becher für Zahnbürsten, keine Toilettenbürste. Auf dem Laken gab es Flecken (die zwar wahrscheinlich nicht mehr rauszuwaschen waren, ist für 170€ pro Nacht trotzdem nicht schön). Es gab KEINEN freien WLan und auch kein inbegriffenes Frühstück (was mir bei der Buchung so angegeben wurde, dann aber nach Abschluss der Buchung doch nicht mehr dabei war, was ich erst im Hotel gemerkt habe!) Ich würde dieses Zimmer für diesen Preis nicht mehr buchen. Das Personal war aber sehr freundlich.

Das Zimmer war nicht sehr sauber und es war noch Müll darin. Wurde also vor Ankunft und auch während meines Aufenthaltes nicht gesäubert. Handtücher wurden auf Wunsch ausgewechselt aber Tee/Kaffe nicht nachgefüllt die Tassen nicht ausgetauscht und der Mülleimer nicht geleert. Das Hotel ist unmittelbar neben einem Krankenhaus was dauerhaften Sirenenlärm bedeutet, was mich sehr unruhig schlafen lies. Ich habe mit etwas über 80 euro pro nacht gut das doppelte gezahlt weil es wohl in der Urlaubssaison war. (Also Preise vergleichen) Ansonsten ist Waterloo mit ÖPNV und unmittelbarer Nähe zu vielen Attraktionen ein sehr schöner Ort um Urlaub zu machen und man fühlt sich auch vergleichsweise sicher. Die Bar und Lobby war sehr schön aber oft nicht besetzt als ich dort war. Für den regulären Preis ist das Hotel also ok und man kann darin Urlaub machen. Für den Preis den ich gezahlt habe war es ungenügend aber da ich wusste, dass es normal billiger ist, war das meine Schuld und ich hätte eventuell meine Erwartungen anpassen sollen.

Ikke eksisterende kundeservice og ikke eksisterende rengøring. Såfremt man ønsker at hotelværelset rengøres, så skal skilt være hængt op inden kl. 11. Selvom dette gøres, bliver der ikke rengjort. Rengøring er meget manglende, hvor kun skraldespand tømmes. Vi havde bestilt værelse til to personer, men der var kun 1 stk. badehåndklæde hver gang, selvom dette blev påpeget flere gange. Lagen blev ifølge personale udskiftet 1 gang om ugen, fordi det er nye Covid-19 tiltag. Lagen blev ikke udskiftet, selvom vi bad personalet gøre det.
Wi-fi er ikke tilgængelig og koster penge. Dette er ikke oplyst nogle steder.
