Novotel London Waterloo

10/10 Excellent

"Helpful staff, clean and spacious room. Interesting layout for the bathroom but we liked it, it was quirky! Good location - 20 min walk to London Eye etc or a quick uber ride. The only downside was we could hear people running around the floor above us quite late at night, which was off putting when trying to sleep and rest. Otherwise, we’d definitely stay here again"
