The Mad Hatter is a hundred yards or so from the South Bank of the Thames. We visited on a Sunday evening of a Bank Holiday weekend and it was a really good find. Whilst the riverside pubs were crammed with people, the Mad Hatter was much calmer. There were a lot of people there, many of them living locally,... More

We stayed here for one night after a day at Tate Modern and Globe Theatre. An ideal location as situated a 15/20 minute walk from both these venues and probably similar to London Eye etc in the other direction. Also only about a 30 minute walk to London Bridge station. The room (209) was perfectly adequate for our short stay... More

I stayed with my wife over Friday 3rd May to take in The Tempest at the Globe Theatre; which is pretty much a stone's throw from this likeable, friendly and quirky hotel ... Although it's 3 star rating is apt and it's slightly jaded and worn (rather like a well-thumbed Sherlock Holmes novel) its helpful staff and all-round "oldy-worldy" peculiarity... More

The Mad Hatter left us with mixed feelings, so I'll list things below and you make your own decision. ~The people that work there are wonderful! No question, the people are tops. ~The hotel is affordable in a city that seldom is so. ~The pub is great. Try the nachos, you'll be surprised. ~The room is livable, but the superior... More

We stayed for 5 nights at the Mad Hatter Hotel in late April 2013. Its a small, comfortable, clean and friendly hotel on the south bank of Thames, near Waterloo underground and just 2 min from Blackfriars bridge and the river banks. In owerall it has a great location for short tourist visits to London. Most of them are at... More

Not perhaps as romantic ot traditional inside as the photograph or the name suggest but staying for one night for work we had an entirely acceptable time. The room was good value, the beer in the large bar well kept. Easy travel across the river to my meetings, close to the Tate Modern for a couple of hours wandering and... More

Don't be put off by the pub downstairs. It's a proper hotel with great service. Larger than usual rooms by London standards. The pub is open for drinks for hotel guests 24 hours. Very friendly staff. We enjoyed every minute of our stay there.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here for New Year's Eve, we got given a twin room instead of a double room which we had paid for! The woman at the desk was very rude and just said she couldn't do anything about it. Bathroom was filthy, taps looked liked they hadn't been cleaned for weeks.. We had to push the... More
