Novotel London Bridge

Hotel is in a safe and convenient localisation , within a walking distance from tower of London, tower bridge, st Paul's Cathedral, the shard, borough market etc. In room you get tea, basic cosmetics like shampoo, shower gel and hair conditioner (but they're not regularly refilled and that may be a little discomforting), bathrobe- we run out of a shampoo in the middle of our stay , although I think that if asked - the stuff being so welcoming as they were ,would help us with that with no problems. Breakfast was fresh, tasty , although not cheap, we paid 25 pounds for one person . Windows let the wind through, and you could feel drafts around ankles (we stayed in december), also water although hot, sometimes wasn't hot enough. Additional bed , more like a couch was made with two separeted mattresses and they tended to drift apart during night and you could fall in between them Overall I would recommend it for short stay , but for that price I really expected more.

The hotel was nice and located in the center of London, close to major attractions like the London Eye, Tower Bridge, Tower of London, and Big Ben. There are also tube stations nearby, making it easy to get around the city. One great positive was that even though we arrived before check-in time, the hotel had availability and kindly gave us the room earlier.

It was our second time in this hotel as we liked it a lot. Breakfast was excellent, a great variety of healthy and 'yummy' choices! There was a nice smell in all areas of the hotel which we liked a lot! The location was very convenient with London Bridge train station close by (getting to Gatwick was very easy), Borough Market, Tate Modern and the Globe nearby. It was also quiet, the beds comfortable and we slept very nicely.

Generally the Hotel is good from check-in/out, helpful and attentive staff, rooms (size, cleanliness) and breakfast (food and service was decent). The extra bed was surprisingly very comfortable!

Breakfast was fantastic. At first glance it does not appear to be an extensive range, but items were quality and we found everything we wanted! The room was a reasonable size, smaller than expected but 3 persons fit just fine. There was a mini fridge which kept our drinks properly cold! (Usually mini fridges barely keep drinks cool, but this one was great!). Location is great - steps away from Borough Market and then in the opposite direction is Millennium Bridge. It is a very busy area though - so not so fun for kids walking to London Bridge station and having to get through the crowds.
