| A hotel guest rated their stay as 4 out of 5 and explained: stayed at the Mad Hatter on a friend's recommendation. Its location was perfect for my first visit to London, as it is central to many of the things I wanted to do and see, and is fairly close to tube stops and a river dock. For me, quality of location trumped any issues with the hotel. Since I spent very little time in the room (conscious, anyway), its quirks didn't bother me much. The room itself was fair sized, but with no air conditioning save for a stand-up fan, I could see how this might get quite warm in Summer. My view of the buildings next door wasn't very aesthetically pleasing, but I wasn't in London to sit in a room and look out a window. The bathroom seemed a bit cramped, but I've heard that this is fairly common in the UK / Europe. The room was clean and the housekeeping staff attentive, so overall I thought it was fine as a basic room for my stay. The pub is a nice place to have a pint (or three), although the service was anything but friendly. (And yes, I did know to order my food and drink at the bar, rather than sit alone looking at an empty table waiting to be served.) The one dinner I ate there was quite good, but I wasn't impressed with the breakfast. It worked out better just to pick up some basic breakfast items at the Marks & Spencer Simply Food down the road. As for the front desk staff, they were always very helpful and courteous. The best thing about this hotel in my view is its location. Tate Modern, the Globe Theatre, and Old / New Vics are a short walk. Borough Market is nearby. Slightly longer walks to the South get you to the Imperial War Museum (which anyone interested in WWI / WWII history shouldn't miss), and to the West to the London Eye. The Millennium footbridge to St. Paul's is also very close. There is a dock nearby where you can catch a Thames Clipper to locations up and down the Thames River. Waterloo and Southwark tube stations are just a few blocks. In short think the Mad Hatter was a good choice for me because it was well placed for what I wanted to do, I had modest needs as regards accommodations, and the price (booked well in advance) was reasonable. I wouldn't be adverse to staying at the Mad Hatter again; however, if (and hopefully when) I return to London I would likely stay in another area simply to be closer to parts of town I didn't get to so much this time around. |
