Novotel London Waterloo Hotel

Novotel London Waterloo is located about halfway between Vauxhall gay village and Waterloo station, making it extremely well-connected. A 15-minute walk will get you to the Vauxhall gay nightlife, but also to Big Ben and Westminster. Covent Garden, the Southbank Center, and Soho are only a little bit further. Pleasuredrome, one of London’s popular gay saunas, is within walking distance of the hotel.

The hotel itself is very modern, offering good value for money for a high standard of service and comfort. All the rooms are decorated in a contemporary style with a monochromatic palette and bright touches of color. Those with a convertible sofa can sleep up to four people.

The Superior rooms are on the smaller size (which is standard for London), so upgrade to an Executive room if you need more space. These also come with added perks like a Nespresso machine and Bose sound system.

The hotel has a restaurant and a bar, both of a good standard, as well as a well-equipped gym with sauna facilities. The staff are excellent, offering friendly service and happy to go above and beyond for the guests.
