The Wellington was everything I expected. I liked the pub(reception) had good food and a great breakfast. rooms where small but good enough. Staff was helpful. Most of all though was the location. Just a 5 min walk from Westminster Bridge and even closer to the London Eye. was a big bonus being directly accross the road from the Waterloo... More

If you stay somewhere central in London for £95 a night, it's actually a rather good. That is particularly so when somewhere like the Wellington is right across the road from Waterloo station, and so it seemed like the perfect crash-pad for after a wedding in town. The room was not bad at all, and the bathroom facilities were decent... More

We do try to accomodate indivudual requests about early check in which in some cases is easier than others depending on the previous nights occupancy. Once again,... More

I checked in on a busy night and was given the last room. The room rate is approx 95, with breakfast. The room was v.noisy; the decoration tired; the ventilation poor. Of course if you have had one over the eight then all this will not matter........but this is not good value for money.

I am replying to your comments made on the 24th April 2013. Comments taken onboard. We are hoping to spend some money on the rooms this year. With regards to the noise, we are in central London just opposite Waterloo Station. This is something that disturbs some and not others. On the subject of one over the eight, when you... More

Stayed for one night on a Saturday. Wasn't expecting too much as we knew it was a budget hotel but the combination of location, decor, food and atmosphere left us pleasantly surprised! Fantasic central location right outside Waterloo station which was really close to the Southbank Centre - the purpose of our visit. Though there was only two of us,... More

This pub/hotel is located just opposite waterloo station entrance so is great for rail and bus links. The staff were polite and friendly if a little flustered at times due to lack of reception and breakfast staff but plenty of bar staff!! We had a double ensuite which was pretty tiny but comfortable. The bathroom was also tiny and while... More
