Description


Location. The Mad Hatter Hotel is located in the historic Lambeth area of London, England, on the south bank of the River Thames. Major attractions within half a mile of the hotel include the London Eye and Shakespeare's Globe Theatre. Waterloo Underground station is 500 metres from the hotel.
Hotel Features. Occupying three floors in a 19th-century building, the Mad Hatter Hotel is air- conditioned and offers wireless Internet access. Staff at the 24-hour front desk can provide safe-deposit boxes.

Breakfast is available each morning (surcharge). If you fancy traditional British food head to the Mad Hatter pub on the ground floor for classic dishes such as Fish and Chips, and Steak and Ale Pie.

Parking is available nearby and costs 15 GBP for 24 hours.

Guestrooms. The 30 guestrooms are individually decorated in contemporary style with coordinated fabrics and dark wood furnishings. The bathrooms have combination tub and showers and hair dryers. Standard amenities include complimentary wireless Internet, coffee/tea makers, cable television and trouser presses.

Expert Tip. The Globe Theatre has been rebuilt twice since Shakespeare's day. The current theatre was unveiled in 1997 and, like the original, is open to the sky, so plays are only performed during the summer. However, guided tours occur year-round.

Hotel quite nice

Hotel was quite nice - better than expected as its a London Hotel! Bit surprised by cost of drinks in the bar but guessed they were increased due to Bank Holiday + Wedding.

Good enough

The hotel was clean, quiet and near the Underground. The room was slightly crowded with the double bed and single bed, small table, chair and dressing table. Since the reservation was for 2 I`m not sure why we needed the extra bed. The staff were very nice and helpful, but the neighborhood lacks any real character. We got what we needed.

Alright on the night

Comfy, quietish and friendly hotel with well prepared if predicatable 'pie and pint' fare. Minor quibbles only - room fittings slightly less than contemporary, TV signal/picture quality was indifferent, and the bathroom sink was due for unblocking, but none of this significanlty detracted from a pleasant stay in a conveniently placed hotel. Would use again if staying in S London.

Very practical though small beds

Location is excellent, 10 min walk from Victoria 2 mins from Southbank and 15 from the City. It is much quieter than expected. And all that at a good price - but beware if you are over 1.90 - beds are small.

Will go again

An ideal place to stay for South bank attractions, and very good value on a weekend deal.

One of the best!

My fiancee and myself stayed here for a concert in Brixton on 08/11/08. We arrived soaked cos of the rain and was early to book in, but the receptionist was great and said our room would be ready in about 30 mins. So we had lunch in the. Bloody lovely! The atmosphere of the pub is great, i loved the decor (not to mention the food). After our tummies were fed, we made or way to our room. It had everything we needed for the night. The bed was soooo somfy i wished i could fold it into my bag and take it home! When we came back from our concert, we knew that we could ring the bell by teh door and someone would let us in, which they promply did - at midnight that was a godsend! Breakfast the next morning was lovely! But thier fry-ups will never beat my dad's! I would definalty recommend this hotel again, but my only gripe was that it cost quite a lot and could have got cheaper else where, but when you consider the history of the building and how great the satff are, it worth it. Thank you Mad Hatter!

An Good Place to Stay for a Weekend Break

A small, friendly, reasonably priced hotel with good selection of food and drink served in the large spacious bar. Rooms tend to be very warm, particularly in the summer months, but large pedestal fans thoughtfully provided in rooms. The only criticisim is that the room we stayed in did not have a cover over the mattress which made the bed feel slightly lumpy. All in all a good place to stay with Waterloo Station and the South Bank area only about 15 minutes walk away. This has been our fourth visit and probably won't be our last!
