Top Southwark Hotel Reviews

Sea Containers London

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful 5 night stay. The hotel is in a great location. Close to train stations and theaters. The rooms were very clean and not too small. The onsite restaurant was very good and the roof top bar provide a great view of London. All of the staff were extremely helpful and very kind. We will definitely be back!"

a&o London Docklands Riverside

10/10 Excellent

"I was a little apprehensive booking this hotel after reading some the reviews elsewhere. I shouldn't have been concerned as I had a great stay and a lovely room. The view over the river was great and the room itself very spacious with a good bathroom and a superbly comfortable bed. There were a fair number of students in the hotel but I think they were accommodated in a separate wing. Location good as there are buses very close that serve Surrey Quays and Canada Water stations. I did walk to Surrey Quays (about 25 minutes). Also a free (for hotel guests) ferry from the hotel pier connecting with Canary Wharf and it's amenities and transport interchange. Very reasonable rates too. No tea or coffee facilities in the room but available from the bar and reception. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again."

Mercure London Bankside

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely hotel in a great location with tasteful, modern decor and an extremely comfortable bed. Particularly liked it as it was so quiet. Many hotels state that they are soundproofed but actually dont appear to be. The Mercure Bankside was certainly peaceful and relaxing. Dog friendly too for a charge of £15 daily. Very pleasant and helpful staff from start to finish. Glass bottle included in the room to fill up from drinking water point on the hotel landing. Thought this was a great idea as it offered water as required and no plastic waste. I would definitely stay at this hotel again."

citizenM London Bankside

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were wonderful and the highlight of my stay - friendly, helpful and fun to chat with. The bar (including food) is open 24 hours, which really saved us after we got out of the theater and most places were closed. The room was comfortable. The design makes the most of the small space (my friend and I each had our own room). I liked being able to adjust the lighting to my liking."

Bermonds Locke, Tower Bridge

2/10 Terrible

"We booked the hotel for a family break and had three rooms. One of the rooms thermostat was broken and we reported this to reception. It was a very hot weekend and the room has incredibly hot. Reception informed us that there were no other rooms they were fully booked and there was no maintenance available. Considering our options we approached reception again and informed them the room would be too uncomfortable to stay and and it was not as advertised. The gentleman in reception was great and offered a refund for the room and we duly booked another hotel for one of the rooms. During the discussion we were informed that refund would take a few days and would need to go via hotels.com as per our booking which was fine. I contacted hotels.com the following week after no news and I was told to give it 72 hours to allow them to contact the hotel. I had to chase this a further three times and now 4 weeks later I have been informed that the hotel will not be issuing a refund. Avoid this hotel"

The Hoxton Southwark

8/10 Good

"Having stopped at the Holborn Hoxton many times, we have this one a go when visiting nearby for a party. The rooms were nice - nicer than the Holborn hotel, with higher ceilings making them feel roomier. Decor is great throughout the hotel and staff were friendly. Only major downfall is the breakfast - the full English is missing many components, and those there were pretty lacklustre, apart from the bacon. Service was confused, brining me 2 coffees, neither of which seemed to be a flat white like I ordered. Views of the city are great. Not as central as the Holborn hotel, but very close to Southwark station and Waterloo so still easy to get around. Nice walk from the hotel along the riverside to Tower Bridge and borough market."

Marlin Apartments London Bridge - Empire Square

10/10 Excellent

"Stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment for 7 days. Room was very spacious and had all kitchen appliances and crockery etc and fridge that was large enough to store supplies. Supermarket right at front door but other options for eating just down the street. So options to eat at home and prepare your own meal or go and get some food from surrounding area. Bathroom was large but shower over bath took a little bit of getting used to as was quite ahuge step to get in or out which may be an issue if your have mobility problems or elderly. Ysed the washing machine while staying but found it a bit tricky to work out how to use it as dryer but finally got there. There was now daily servicing of apartments but that is explained upfront before booking and again at check in. Did not find this a problem as allowed us to just get up when we were ready and able to sleep in if we wanted. We found this location to be very convenient with Borough station 3 minutes away and London Bridge station an easy 10 minute walk. Buses were also available right outside the door or up on the high street. We were able to walk to Tower Bridge and Tower of London and used the tube to easily get around to other sites. Although not out very late at night felt safe in this area. I would have no hesitation in staying here again or recommending it for travellers who want a little more room and able to do their own thing. There is 24 hour concierge if needed but did not need to contact them"
