Would stay there again as the location was convenient for local sight seeing. The staff were polite and helpful and the restaurant, bar and food was very acceptable. The room was small but clean, however, the fridge did not work at all.

Novotel has quite a good standard and you are likely to find the same quality across countries and cities. Parking is quite expensive, but still cheaper than parking on the street. Pricing is not cheap, but OK for London, plus you save a lot because everything is withing a walking distance - you hardly need public transportation.

I stayed at the Novotel for one night on business. The public areas of the hotel are very comfortable. The breakfast buffet was excellent and I had dinner (after a very late arrival) in the bar and was very pleased. The room and bathroom were spacious and well designed. The bed was hugely comfortable. The only downside to the hotel... More

Thank you for your positive feedback following your recent stay at Novotel London Waterloo. I was glad to read you had an enjoyable stay and enjoyed the service in our Bar and Restaurant. There are indeed several bus stops close to the hotel and Bus 507 will only take 5 minutes when travelling from Waterloo station. Kind regards, Sheila Mitchell... More

The stay that my wife and I had at this hotel early May 2012 was great, helpful, happy staff, no waiting or problems with checking in and out and very straighforward and open access to all areas. Room was as you would expect for a standard price booking - very comfortable bed, no traffic noise or sounds from adjacent rooms.... More

Stayed here on business. Staff helpful, food fine and rooms were good. However, internet access is £19.95 a day (a package with all you can have of fiffy movies) and it is a fair walk from Lambeth North tube station. However, buses run from outside the hotel into the city and to Brixton and beyond

Our room had a view of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the London Eye so we felt very lucky. It is opposite the Lambeth Bridge and next to the roundabout featured on the movie, National Lampoons European vacation (where Clark Griswold says, "Look kids, Big Ben, Parliament" over and over as he is trying to get off the...
