"Most pleased with our stay and the location. Buses near the front door took you downtown quickly and with regular service. A short walk to the London Eye and the surprises that were there. A good location and a good stay." (108270751)
Found the buffet excellent and the wait staff very accomodating and friendly. Most pleased with the rooms.
Cannot say there were any bad points, although the check out time was slow due to difficulties with other guest bills and a short time lack of staff. No serious concerns.

"I enjoy staying at the Novotel Waterloo and I always have a relaxing and pleasant sleep." (108251573)
Cleanliness. Modernity of decor. Newness of decor and furnishings. Crispness of bed linen. Quiet at night. Attractiveness of en-suite bathroom facilities. Location.
Staff very professional and efficient and exceptionally well presented, but lacking warmth. Shower cubicle worked perfectly, but shower attachment in bath did not. Floor covering in separate W.C. was in poor state of repair, with one strip or tile missing.

The hotel was clean. Excellent location. Staff seemed new and tried their best.
Toilet did not flush properly, only one towel was put in the room daily and when asked for another towel since 2 people in room it took several hours and then had to ask again.Food was limited and very expensive in the restaurant but did taste good.

the young man on reception was very helpful and very welcoming. I hope you can pass this comment onto the hotel because it is staff like this who can make a stay at such a hotel all the more enjoyable
No soya milk. Where ever I go no matter what kind of hotel I always have to bring my own soya milk otherwise I wouldn't get a descent cup of tea!!! Nobody seems to cater for these fringe requirements so now I have given up asking

cleanliness, style (not out dated or in need of a revamp)
Had to queue to check in - only one member of staff on duty at Reception at a peak check in time of 1800. Also, bar staff weren't the friendliest...no smiles, just appeared to wish they were somewhere else (despite the fact that we spending a lot of money) - but they served us OK I suppose. Coffee at breakfast was awful. Choice and quality of food was good though.

"A sparkling reception area, with multiple check-in staff, demonstrating excellent care skills. Room and restaurant food were first-class, although more choice of dishes without bread or potato as a central ingredient would have been nice. Staff are well-trained and highly professional, anxious to meet every need. An extremely good experience." (97217817)
Very generous size room, with high quality furniture and fittings.

Excellent room,particularly the bathroom. Very good location. Quiet, but near everything.Helpful and courteous staff.
Due to re-furbishment of restaurant, breakfast was in bar. Limited hot choice at breakfast (as ever!) for vegetarians.

"We only needed a convenient place to stop-over in transit for Waterloo International and it was very satisfactory for that purpose and I am sure it would be satisfactory for a longer stay. The staff were very helpful which did not surprise me as I have stayed in Novotel Hotels in France" (99196331)
It was remarkably quiet for the centre of London. The room service was excellent

Its location and modern rooms.
The bar looked a bit tired and the reception area was smokey but this should not be a problem come July 1st!!!

Great location just off the river, opposite Westminster and a short walk to the south bank area. Very comfortable rooms, great bed. Quiet and very clean.
