8/10 Very good

Room was basic but suited our needs for one night. Included breakfast was nice, staff were friendly. Our only issue was the outside noise as the hotel is "wedged" between Waterloo station and the overground

8/10 Very good

location very good. Night time a little bit noisy. Breakfast very good
MA AYE AYE, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Worst hotel experience ever. Mould in the bathroom. Horrific smell. Avoid family room - especially when travelling with children - at all costs.

Ideal location. Room was good for 3 people. Would not recommend for old people and kids as there are a lot of stairs.

Good hotel

Friendly and accommodating staff…they stored our luggage when we got there cause it was too early to check in and also stored our luggage after we checked out. Very good breakfast.. no elevator
Fe, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Staff was very friendly and helpful. But stairways were steep and narrow. Being on 3rd floor with no elevator was hard on us with bad knees and COPD. Would use again next time in area but would request a lower room
Deborah, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great hotel, great staff.

Our stay at the Wellington was exactly what we needed. Friendly staff from check in. The room was clean and tidy, the bed was comfortable and despite being right next to the train line the noise didn’t keep us awake. The coffee bag were a welcome surprise and a lovely touch. The bathroom needs a little work as it was tired and could do with a bit of shelving and somewhere next to the sink to hang the hand towel. Breakfast was fab, and overall I would rate our stay as excellent.

Mixed experience

I recently stayed at this hotel and had a mixed experience. The check-in process was smooth and efficient, which got things off to a good start. However, there is no elevator, and accessing the upper floors requires climbing narrow, steep stairs—which was quite inconvenient, especially with luggage. The room was reasonably clean, though not spotless, and overall just okay. The furnishings and infrastructure felt quite dated—not in a charming or vintage way, but more on the worn and tired side. The bathroom was especially small and felt quite claustrophobic. On the positive side, the lobby and restaurant areas had a great atmosphere, which made spending time outside the room enjoyable. The location is excellent, very central and convenient for exploring the area. If you're looking for a well-located hotel with character in the common areas and don’t mind sacrificing modern comfort, this might be a decent pick.
Andac Baran, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Not too bad. The only thing I didn’t like was the long skinny stairs to get to the room. Hard to carry my bid suitcase up the flights.
Danny, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Terrible service

We arrived at reception having booked a room for two adults and a twelve year old child, and they told us that they did not have a room for us because there was no space for an extra bed in the room. I had booked for two adults and a child! They just said they would cancel our booking and refund the money. They did not offer to help us find a new room for the night. I can´t give a review for the room since we did not get one. But maybe that was a good thing since the noise in the pub was deafening.
Elin, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

It’s basically a big pub opposite the country’s busiest railway station so expectations weren’t high. I’d drank there a few times before but never stayed. The stairwell and carpet are tired and there was no carpet in the room. Also needed a blackout blind to deal with the bright light from the station but the glazing kept most of the noise out. But the good stuff! A lovely room - nice wood floor, excellent shower with wash products, really good coffee tray inc chocs and a complimentary fridge which inc soft drinks and a couple of little bottles of London Pride! Breakfast in the pub area was absolutely fine with the hot food to order. Great location for all central London needs if you’re a tourist (I work here) and good value for what you get. Well done Fullers
Chris, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

At first I was a bit disappointed because my Tower was a bit 'rundown' / needed some TLC & my 'window view' was truly awful. However, given the location near Waterloo Station those options are limited! BUT that impression changed as I settled & realised what value I was getting for my money! My very compact double en- suite room had everything one could want - already aware there were limitations. It was clean with generous linen supplies & complimentary provisions. The Staff were friendly, cheerful & helpful. The Food was superb, although I only had the Breakfast Option this time. My Compliments to The Wellington's Chef David - his presentation has flair & he should consider entering Professional Master Chef & could stand a good chance of making the Finals! It has a large,well stocked & very busy Bar & Restaurant area decorated with historical murals; filled with happy patrons from lunchtime on and many big screen TVs, showing all the Sport.The Location of the Hotel on South Bank is excellent in terms of Transport Services & easy access on foot to many of London's Cultural & Tourist attractions.The Wellington Hotel is steeped in a fascinating history of its own & I was sad to leave after my two night stay. I would not hesitate to book in there again - if I am lucky enough to get in! (Foot Note:The accommodation area is not suitable for those who are Physically Challenged as there are no lifts & the stairs are narrow, twisting & steep.)

Great hotel across from Waterloo Station

Amazing staff and lovely room, convenient location. No lifts will definitely be a concern for those with mobility issues.
John, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

Last minute booking to extend trip. Very friendly staff, older building, noisy as by station but ear plugs provided. Fantastic breakfast and just across road from station.

Varmt

Det var minst 35 grader varmt på rummen och det kröp råttor på fönsterbrädan utanför så vi kunde inte vädra.
Jaana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and friendly staff

Great room and breakfast great with plenty of choices. It was extremely hot as it was hottest day at 32 degrees so air conditioning would have been great. Will definitely stay again but at a different time of year.
Sally, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The Wellington is a great place to stay if you need to be close to the central action of London. Many areas are within walking distance and the Waterloo train station is directly across the street. I stayed in a room with my wife and daughter, which met our needs perfectly. It was a decent size, was clean and had moderate updates. The building is quite old, so it is quite worn in many areas. For example, carpets, walls and railings in the main stairwell. Cracked paint and built in dirt around windows etc… So if your preference is new and shiny, this won’t be for you. However, we all enjoyed our stay. The breakfast each morning in the pub was perfect, lots of options and the staff and service was excellent. I would definitely recommend the Wellington.
Robert, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Room was fine but seemed a bit tired and in need of some maintenance. Didn't stay for breakfast as starting that at 8am seems a little late for London (needed to be on the other side of London by 9am).
Robin, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Ventilation if the toilet is really poor, it smelled stinky. The room is old. I live in top floor but need to move the luggages to the stairs by ourselves without any help.
