"Great location and views. Room had a free mini bar."

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel (ADULTS ONLY)

10/10 Excellent

"Very handy location to transport options, food and entertainment. The capsules were very comfy for the size. The lounge area downstairs had vending machines with snacks and drinks and even a part to pull your own pint. Will be keeping it in mind for future short trips to london (this was a two night stay for work)"

Park Plaza London Riverbank

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, good service and range of food options, helpful staff - had a pleasant stay"

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"
