I don't know how anybody can fault this hotel. Me and my boyfrend decided to have a long weekend in London and wanted a hotel that wasn't too close to the busy centre of London but very close by. This hotel was perfect. It was a 5 minute walk away from the Millenium Bridge and the Tate. It wasn't just... more

Good points... Great location, though there are other hotels in the area. Very Cheap for London, but maybe you get what you pay for. Very small loby area, with lots of people trying to book in, sadly hardly any rooms had been cleaned. So some problems there. Though dealt with in a very good way and a snr memeber of... more

Great to find a good hotel that is reasonably priced in London! A good, upcoming location which is convenient for the tube, and the bankside sites including the Tate modern. Spacious clean room and bathroom. Good breakfast. WIll definitely stay again. more

I stayed in March and found this to be a good hotel - albeit rather expensive. Unfortunately my stay in August was sadly lacking with a number of things not up to expectation... Positives - flat screen TV with Olympic coverage (although not HD), breakfast above average and attentive staff in breakfast room. Clean room (with personal safe - one... more

My wife and I wanted to find a place in easy walking distance to the Old Globe Theatre. I wasn't expecting much, but this hotel ended up being great. The staff was nice and professional. The room was spacious and very clean. It didn't break the bank either, by London's standards. There were also some decent places to eat close... more

This is a great wee hotel. I had never been to London before and was haeding down for a mix of work and sightseeing. I booked this hotel for £89 a night twin/double room rate with breakfast included which I think was great value. The hotel is pretty small. The decor is modern and immaculate. The staff are friendly and... more

This hotel is just a little bit off the beaten track. And Bankside is not as lively a place as Waterloo. That said, however, you can reach this hotel in five minutes from Southwark tube station (and not ten minutes as erroneously indicated by another poster). Turn left out of the station, cross Blackfriars Road at the traffic lights, stay... more

My company booked the Mercure for 5 nights as it is conveniently located within walking distance to Bow Lane which is just across Southwatk Bridge. It's also within walking distance to London Bridge tube station. The room was spacious for London's standard and the interior was nice - I guess it hasn't been long since it was newly renovated. All... more

Having stayed in Mercure hotels before, I was not disappointed by my latest trip. Admittedly it is a chain, and thus all hotels seem/look the same, but it is clean, quiet, safe and perfect for a city break. The hotel is about a 10 minute flat walk from Southwark tube station and that's its principal disavantage if you have a... more
