Hotels near Imperial War Museums, London

We had the best time, thank you for the perfect stay!! 😁

Overall was good stay for 4 nights. Simple and good varieties of breakfast ( incl for vegetarian). Close to Waterloo UG Station and Eye of London. Helpful front desk and restaurant staff. Booked the Hop Off Londoin Bus Golden Tour bus from the front desk and it is walking distance to the Eye of London and National Theatre.

Great position on the Southbank, ideally positioned for bus and tube travel. Really friendly front desk and nice comfortable/clean rooms. Sound proofing room to room great, we were overlooking the railway track so regular low level noise but didn’t bother us as we had ear plugs.

Good location plenty of shops around and within walking distance for bits and pieces if you need them or to eat out. Good location for visiting London with easy access to tube about 10 mins up road and about 20 mins to walk to Westminster bridge.

This is a good hotel if you're looking for a more economical stay with a good breakfast. We had a great check in experience where we had arrived early and had a short wait for an early check in. The staff were very good here helping us find a table each morning for breakfast, made an ice pack for my wife's sore foot and they have a fridge to store food items behind the front desk. The location was pretty good and it was a short walk to popular attractions like Tate Modern, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, and Burough Market. There were a few restaurants nearby and we enjoyed grabbing quick bites at many of the nearby shops including Tesco, Sainsbury's and Amazon Fresh. There are lots of hotels in the area as well. The hotel is located about a 7 minute walk from Blackfriars station which offers Thameslink Service to Gatwick Airport and connects easily to the Elizabeth Line to go to Heathrow. It is within a 15 minute walk to Waterloo and Southwark stations and there are busses that go through the area too so it makes the city very accessible. It is worth checking out the train schedule because some trains go every 20-30 minutes instead of the frequency north of the Thames. The room was nicely appointed with a comfy bed, four pillows, a small work space, a small wardrobe, tea station, large television, and some shelving to store our things. We were transiting through London and had brought three large suitcases with us and there was plenty of space for those. The hotel is located in a quieter area and the air conditioning is very strong so we enjoyed each night's sleep. There were signs posted that they were undergoing some maintenance work during our stay in August 2025 so it was very noisy after 9:30 am in the hotel. This is a temporary issue. We felt that the housekeeping could improve because we were provided with dirty hand towels a couple of times and they did not vacuum the floor at the entrance of the room. The wifi was good and if you've set up an IHG account before you can quickly and easily log in but we found that we had to reconnect each night. The bathroom was pretty good with a nice new and clean shower. The shower was very good each night with an adjustable head, eco setting, good temperature control and tight seals to keep the water in. They have unique shampoo and body wash that are kale and parsley scented. There isn't much room to hang wet towels in the bathroom but they do have hooks in the bedroom that we used. The breakfast was good and we were happy it was included in our stay. They had all the fixings for an English breakfast with particularly good sausages and rashes of bacon. They also had yoghurt, fruit, cheese and some cereal for a lighter breakfast. The coffee machine was good for made to order options and there was a good selection of tea. You can make yourself a go bag as well and they will let you take food too. If you have dietary restrictions you can let the front desk know when you check in and they will accommodate. We had a good stay here and it fit our itinerary. Picking a hotel in London can be tricky but the price, location, and room were right for us.

Lovely hotel 15 mins walk from Waterloo. The staff were very friendly and when our room wasn't quite ready when we arrived, they offered a free drink voucher that was greatly appreciated. The cafe was a great place for a coffee and pastry while you wait for your room, and the reception and lounge was modern. Enjoyed our room on the 10th floor overlooking Waterloo area - loved the control panel for the lights & blinds! Very comfy large bed. Unfortunately the spa is closed, but you could still book a slot for the pool and sauna. The pool was far too cold (probably good for fitness, but no good when you want to relax), and the sauna & stream room didn't get very hot - but still nice to have this available at the hotel.

Great location and just big enough for a family of four.

The hotel location was great. The train station was 1 min away. The room was small but does have all what needed. If USB charger was available, it would be better.

Strategic location, near train station, walkable distance. Many restaurants and shops close by. Lots of tourists checking in, staff were polite and efficient. Didn’t have breakfast so can’t comment. Room was standard for a 3 star, no complaints. Excellent hotel for price.

Pros: The reception staff are great, especially Sree and Sunday, and solved problems effectively and efficiently. Location is great especially for users of Elizabeth Line to and from Heathrow. Various choices of room size. Hotel is new and clean. Cons: No electric kettle in room. You need to go down to ground floor to get hot water from the coffee machine. Water is free but not the coffee. I booked a First Class Room, but the system gave me one on the first floor with no windows. I put up with it for the first 2 days as I was busy. Later had to change room. First class room is roomy, but other rooms are on the small side.
