Haven't stayed here for about 6 years and it's starting to show it's age a little. Staff were as friendly as ever and really helpful at times. Easy walk to Borough Market ( try Feng Sushi) and £17 in a black cab to The West End. I still think £15 for hotel wired Internet or £9 for slow Orange wifi... More

This Novotel is on Southwark Bridge Road, close to Borough Market, and a short walk (10 min) from stations at London Bridge, Southwark or Blackfriars. There is also a bus service to Waterloo and Covent Garden (RV1).  Also easy walking distance to the Tate Modern, St Paul's, Tower Bridge, and the rest of the City of London.  The rooms are... More

This is probably the most expensive hotel I have stayed in- but that may have been down to the rate charged to my company- and was poor value for money. It is a fair walk from tube so on a wet day taxis were the only real option.Room was ready at lunchtime when I arrived. OK but had slightly strange... More

Reception staff were very friendly and welcoming, we felt like things were not a bother for them. The room was really nice and modern. Ideal location and reasonably priced with that in mind. We were staying for the London marathon - so they even opened the restaurant early (0500) for the runners - a really appreciated touch. Breakfast was excellent... More

Well located well designed business-during-the-week families-at-weekend hotel in a modern building, convenient for South Bank attractions, several stations (Tube and Network), and lots of main routes across river from Westminster to London Bridge.

My stay was fine. Rooms were clean - a little tight, but to be expected in London. My only complaint - no moisturizing cream!! Never stayed at a hotel that did not have it. Location of hotel was good for the Eye and Tate Modern. Would go back.
