Location good and value for money

We booked the hotel as they offered a very good price for 3 adults in one room on their website. The hotel is behind the Financial Times building, public transport is great, the London Bridge station is 3 min walk or the Mansion house station is also 3 min walk (other side of the Thames crossing theSouthwark bridge ). We could watch even Saturday evening the Euro2008 game on the tv in the bar. The room was small (ok for us) ,clean, a double-bed and a sofabed, flatscreen TV, bathtube and shower in the bathroom and a separate WC. Iron, ironboard, hairdryer was available. I would recommend it. At the reception staff were very friendly.

Reasonable Accomodations

I was a little concerned about the remoteness of the hotel's location until we checked-in and discovered that it is only a 2 minute walk to the nearest Tube. Although not too many attractions are in this district, I did enjoy the feeling of being away from all the hustle & bustle of tourists, etc. The area surrounding the hotel is a little gritty, but I felt safe walking around at night. There are some pubs and a tapas bar that seem to be thriving. PROS -Very close to Tube -Despite not having great food, breakfast is included CONS -The room was incredibly small. We had a suite, and it was barely large enough to hold us and our luggage -The toilet is in a closet rather than in the bathroom -Room lacked any view, looked directly at a brick wall and window from building 20 feet away

we recommend it !

We (2 adults, one child) stayed there for a weekend in May. The child got a really big sofa bed, we got one double. Check-in was friendly, rom was clean. Breakfast was included (some English breakfast, sausages, cheese, marmelade, toast,...) Sometimes the breakfast room was to full and the waitresses couldn't do the dishes as fast as it should be. If you go by tube take London Bridge Station. You have to go 5 minutes to the hotel. In 3 minutes you will be at river Thames, in 15-20 minutes at the London eye. In total: we paid 330 GBP for 3 nights, 3 persons, incl. breakfast and recommend the hotel.

Nice hotel in a good location

This is a nice Novotel in a good location in Southwark rd. This is close to many transport links and there is lots in the area. Rooms are nice size in traditional Novotel fitout. Rooms are suprisingly big considering the location and spotlessly clean. The staff were extremely helpful and nice. One problem is that the hotel is extremely busy during the week with business & function so you may have problems getting a late booking. The area surrounding the hotel gets pretty quiet in the evening but its generally safe enough. I will return again should i need a good reliaible central hotel.
