Insisted I had reservation
They called police and police advised I would find another hotel late at night

Chose this hotel because it was close to a work venue, the evening food menu had many things that weren't available and my eggs benedict at breakfast was very disappointing so i can't really recommend the food!

I’d highly recommend this hotel. Fabulous value for money in central london.
The staff were polite and very helpful and informative.
The room was clean and well appointed with great quality condiments.
Breakfast was delicious with a good choice from the buffet and table service menu.
Rooms a the back of the hotel away from the road are quieter

Before our stay Luke was really responsive to my emails. He was working for most of our stay and was really friendly, approachable and helpful.
It was so nice to have fresh milk in the room fridge, instead of the small packs usually offered. Bottles of water were also placed in the fridge for us. These were replenished every day. Its the first hotel we've ever stayed where there were facecloths provided in the bathroom. Ideal to have a safe in the room too.
It was our 40th wedding anniversary and the room was set with balloons a heart and love birds on the bed which was lovely. The lady who cleaned our room daily was very efficient and friendly. We had room 304 which overlooked the back of the hotel. It was quieter at night than our friends' room (302) which was at the front, it did have secondary double glazing though.
Not having been to London we had a black cab from Paddington which was £34. Our return we used Uber and was £25.73. We also used the Freenow taxi app which was excellent.
My only wish was that the bacon at breakfast was available as unsmoked, as well as smoked. The breakfast was good. Cereal, fresh melon and fruits, yogurts, cheese/meats as well as full English. The lady taking our orders remembered everyone's perfectly somehow without writing down. Bar menu not huge, but what we had was nice.
Just sad to hear that the building will be replaced by a new development in a few years.

Great stay overall. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The room we stayed in was very clean and had a personality of its own. Very close to different transports options and walkable to some popular areas.

Lovely unique hotel, convenient to Waterloo & South Bank. Great bar & restaurant with London prices. Staff were friendly & welcoming. Room was good, albeit hot - but it was the hottest day of the year! - and a bit noisy due to the traffic outside.
I'd go back .....

Very friendly staff. Clean and well thought out rooms. Very little road noise at night even with the window open but the area tends to quiet down at night. Central and easy to get everywhere. Couldn’t ask for more in London.

What a great homely place to stay, very friendly staff, you have to try the steak and ale pie , it is the best, and the full English breakfast is the best i have had in a hotel, no hesitation in recommending this hotel

Staff was amazing, Luke was especially helpful! Location was awesome. Right at the Blackfriars bridge & walking distance to everything we wanted to do! A reminder that old properties don’t have modern conveniences, like a/c and extra outlets to charge all your devices. Room was a little shabby and hot but the staff did their best to accommodate with an extra fan. All in all, would recommend, maybe just not in July or August. Breakfast buffet and menu were really nice and the refreshments in the room were welcome in light of the heat! Thanks Mad Hatter!

While our check in process was pleasant and friendly, that was the only highlight. The hotel has an adorable theme and appeared to be at one point, clean and maintained. When heading to our room, you immediately smell an awful smell of fish and notice hanging air freshener disks hanging every few feet. When we entered our room, it too had the same unwelcoming scent. Our room appeared dated, not thoroughly clean and had leaking water on the bathroom floor from a towel warmer that didn't work. The bed was comfortable enough, but the room was so hot and stuffy. We opened the windows which opened ou to an abandoned lot with trash and weeds. I honestly think we could have overlooked all of the above, although we shouldn't need to. The most unsettling part of our visit is when we went down to the hotel restaurant/pub for dinner and cocktails. There were several employees busy decorating for a birthday party in the establishment. We sat ourselves after standing at the entrance for several minutes. We waited another 10-15 minutes at our table, and still no one. We watched another family of four get up from their table and leave. My husband finally went up to the bar and enquired about service. Victoria, the young lady at the bar, appeared put out and very concerned about continuing her party preparations. When my husband didn't hear something she said, she repeated herself loud and slow while rolling her eyes. Done! We took our $300 pounds down the street where we had a wonderful exp

Great staff, nice enough hotel, good location - the major complaint is that the bathroom plumbing had multiple issues: no hot water for shower/tub was the biggest problem, but there were leaking pipes around toilet so the floor was constantly wet. The hotel needs to hire a plumber and fix this room. I didn't significantly reduce the overall rating as I am confident they'll fix this for the next guest.

We had a lovely 5 night stay at the Mad hatter Inn. Very good location. Easy access to Southwark tube station. Close to Borough Market which is a must see.
Hotel room was comfortable and very clean. Fair price, especially for London. Nice to have a pub downstairs. Hotel staff very engaging and friendly. Only issue was a faulty electric tea kettle. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend to others.

My husband and I loved the Mad Hatter Hotel! The Alice in Wonderland decor is an extra plus! The front desk staff was OUTSTANDING; extremely helpful and personable. Its location is an easy walk to the Waterloo Train Station and the Underground. The room was clean. A bonus was the attached restaurant/bar-GREAT food. We would definitely stay there again!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Lovely big rooms. Just the noise of the roads at night was the problem for me as we were opposite the traffic lights. We changed rooms the second night which was much better. Ideal location, close to Waterloo station
