Yes it's not perfect but the staff were friendly, you're over a real pub with real beer, it's five mins walk from Tate Modern and ten from the National - 40 mins walk to Leicester Square. We asked several times for a quiet room but the back rooms were all taken (presumably by people paying more than our £85 a... more

There really is only one reason to stay at this South London three star hotel at a busy and noisy juction just south of Blackfriars Bridge. It is within minutes walk of Tate Modern, Globe Theatre, Young Vic and Old Vic theatres, National Theatre, Festival Hall, London Eye and so on. Also at Waterloo station you can take a 139... more

Our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Mad Hatter. It had lots of charm at a reasonable price (for London!) Don't be afraid of the location, there's lots to do and the Hop On/Off bus couldn't stop nearer. The Pub offers great food with good variety, including a very reasonable breakfast. I left what appeared to be a valuable... more

If you have any money, whatsoever, upgrade yourself to a nicer hotel right now. That means, if you're used to any level of comfort this place won't do it for you. Starving students and travelers, fine, low budget away. Here's what I had problems with: The dark and dinghy rooms, the horrid views, price tags baked into my bread, waitresses... more

We were pleased to be only 6 minutes from the Tate Modern and Globe Theatre, but currently the neighbourhood near the hotel is mostly boarded up and looks fairly desolate. Economic downturn? Maybe that also explains why the toilet, tub and sink all leaked and they didn't fix them. We were given lots of towels each day to soak up... more

The rates are good. The pub is great (open all night for residents). The food is great. The staff is friendly and accomodating. The beds are, uh, Brittish. The rooms are clean . There is an ICE MACHINE! more

Firstly they have prioritized the rooms instead of a gigant lobby. The biggest hotelroom I've seen in a 3 star hotel in London. The bedlinen were fresh and nice and no stinky old blanket. The location is excellent. For once no problems with late arrival. Nice staff. Not the most comfortable beds, but does any hotel have comfortable beds really?... more

Had two nights here (April 18/19). The hotel was chosen for its proximity to the Royal Festival Hall at the South Bank Centre which is less than 15 minute gentle walk from the hotel as are the Hayward Gallery, Queen Elizabeth Hall (containing the Purcell Room), National Film Theatre, London Eye, Tate Modern and Shakespeare's Globe. The hotel is at... more

The location of the hotel is great, 25 metres away from Blackfriars Bridge on the Southbank. The breakfasts in the cafe were good. Nice cafe too. Only small problem: the double bed was really small, and since I planned to share it with my mother (other bed was for my nephew) we were not pleased with that ! As the... more
