The hotel is very nice, clean, modern and the staff was friendly. We are a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children) and we were able to fit fine in the room. The location was very good as well. We walked accross the bridge everyday to go to the big bend and other attractions. Also within 1 block from the hotel there are many restaurants and grocery stores. My only complaint about my stay would be the bed mattresses. The kids sofa bed was not the most comfortable and our bed the mattress appeared to be very old because I could feel the springs on my body.

Staff and service were excellent. Located close to the Waterloo Station and Big Ben. Ideal for being in the center of most of the major London attractions. My family had the deluxe suite and it was smaller than anticipated but it worked for a one night stay.

Great location in London. Walkable to lots of Places and attractions. Not a bad option with sofa bed for family of 4. Sofa bed wasn’t too comfy but made it work for a few days. Clean lobby

There was nothing I would change with this hotel. From the moment we stepped off the train at Waterloo, it was only a 7 minute walk to the hotel door. The staff were friendly and very helpful for the whole of our stay. The room was lovely and clean and just right for our family of 4. It was right on the doorstep of the tube station, so easy to get into city centre. We would definately stay again.

We loved the location! Very walkable to main London attractions, including shopping, restaurants and pubs as well the Thames. We compared to many properties and Marlin Waterloo was the best value! The kitchenette was very handy and felt that the room was designed well for a family of 4 adults. Would definitely recommend and this would be our first choice for a return trip to London

The bedroom is too small for a family of 4. The bed was terrible, and the breakfast was not worth it. The staff was really helpful and very kind.
