Top Waterloo Hotel Reviews

Strand Palace Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Good location. Clean. Staff helpful. Good food the restaurant. We recommend it"

Park Plaza County Hall London

10/10 Excellent

"I had a wonderful stay at Park Plaza County Hall London. The location was excellent, within easy walking distance of Westminster, the London Eye, Waterloo Station, and many of London’s most iconic attractions. The hotel was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. What stood out most was the exceptional service. The staff were friendly, professional, and always willing to help. They made me feel welcome from the moment I arrived and were responsive whenever I had a question or needed assistance. I would gladly stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting London. Thank you to the entire team for making my trip so enjoyable."

Hotel Riu Plaza London Victoria

10/10 Excellent

"Le meilleur buffet déjeuner que j’ai vu. Un choix de nourriture variée et excellent. Le personnel de l’hôtel est vraiment très gentil et serviable. Le lit très confortable et les commodités de la salle de bain vraiment très bien. De plus aucun bruit venant du couloir ou des autres chambres ne nous a dérangé. L’emplacement est excellent à 5 minutes de marche de la station Victoria où on peut prendre le train ou le métro. Beaucoup de bons restaurants à proximité. Je recommande vivement cet hôtel."

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel

8/10 Good

"Fundamentally, it's a hostel with lockers big enough to sleep in. It's an incredibly nice, clean hostel with very nice self-service amenities, especially for the price, but you'll hear the people in the bunks adjacent to you and see people in various states of trying to sleep or relax in their pods. The pods are clever with storage but it's still very scarce, especially in the single pods. Pros: Fantastic location on a pedestrian street steps off the Elizabeth line and Oxford Street. Vending-machine amenities are both novel and genuinely useful, the lounge is cozy, the aircon works very well, and the built-in 65W USB-C charging was brilliant. If you're comfortable with mixed-gender commons in the otherwise private toilets and showers, they're quite nice. Cons: Very new and different; still service wrinkles to iron out. Staff understanding of some of the systems was spotty, and online access to add-on features like early check-in didn't work. Some vending-machine amenities were out of stock and weren't restocked during the stay. Heavy reliance on cameras reading QR codes for corridor and room locks often meant waiting and adjusting the phone until things worked. Whatever they're doing to wash their towels fills them with white lint that will cover most of you, and any clothing they come in contact with. No do-not-disturb option was presented to stave off the very persistent housekeeping staff from knocking mid-mornings. Pods are quite unfriendly to inflexible bodies."
