What guests think

Park Plaza London Waterloo is widely appreciated for its handy location and modern feel, with many guests complimenting friendly staff, while feedback also points to some operational hiccups and areas where the experience can be inconsistent.

Rooms are modern and comfortable, but repeated comments mention dim lighting, small layouts for some, inconsistent air conditioning, and bathroom designs with sliding doors that limit privacy; train or road noise affects a minority of rooms. Service is often warm and helpful, though responsiveness varies at times and housekeeping can be inconsistent, with occasional misses on replenishing toiletries or cleaning. Breakfast is popular yet often crowded with queues, and on-site dining quality varies. Overall, expect a modern, well-located base with good amenities and occasional rough edges.

We were really impressed with the room - very modern controls, nice bathroom, nice bed. Loved it all except 1. No HDMI access to the TV - had to use Chromecast which isn't as good. 2. Fairly strict 8-8 enforcement of kids..my kids were told to come out of the pool at 8pm so I was in the pool alone until 817 when the next adults came in...if they had let us stay until the next guests came in that would have been better..they did allow us early in the next day. 3. Breakfast was manic but lots of staff and lots of food.

We enjoyed our stay. Very convenient location with Lambeth North tube station across the street. Good dining options around the area. Room was small but very clean and beds were comfortable. Staff were pleasant. We made use of the pool but did not find the water very clear and there were some obvious repairs needed around the edges.

Park Plaza Waterloo was a very nice stay. Nice room, friendly staff and good gym. Only downside the pool was freezing. It says on the sign 27 degrees but it was definitely not and a lot of people said the same whilst in there. Apart from this a very pleasant stay and would return for a good spot close to tube in London.

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel. We traveled with kids and family. The service was good. One thing to note for families is that the pool is only available with reservation and kids are not allowed before 8am and after 8pm. I get the policy but it limits the possibility of kids getting into the pool. I booked it for this reason and we only got to use it once 😞.

One of our favourite hotels in London and perfectly located near Waterloo. The review would normally be 5 stars for every option, but this year there were a couple of small issues (may not seem major, but when you're paying for somewhere like the Park Plaza, you expect it). The bathroom this year was in poor condition with the sliding door between shower and toilet extremely hard to move. We did tell reception, sadly no one came to check it out. We were also missing a refresh of coffee, towels and water in the room on our final night. We didn't get back to the hotel until 2am on our last (third) night, so missed spotting these until the morning.

Cleanliness of this hotel was not good, concidering the price. We had ants in our room, inluding in the bed. We got a room switch, however under the bed had used tissues, the bed headboard was all scratched up and the general standard was low for the price paid. Not good at all.

The room was not ready on arrival as apparently Housekeeping were still working on it. They were going to change rooms however it became available so unsure if this happened. The bed was very comfortable and accessories were lovely, however the room was tatty with scratches on the floor and a chair was all scratched up. Did expect more from the Park Plaza. In the evening, there was not much variety for food, only options available were foods with gluten in, nothing else available. In the morning, I realised that the shower gel was empty so had to use hand soap instead.

Unfortunately I am a bit disappointed with this stay. We stayed for one night for my birthday. Room: A birthday cake was left on the table which was a nice touch. However, very noticeably, the bed headboard was peeling badly and one big flap was half off. The side tables were so dusty The bathroom door was mouldy/water damaged. The king bed was comfortable. The sofa was laid out into a sofa bed and made up- not what we wanted, but it was a minor inconvenience for one nights stay. The room was right next to the trainline, which again is a minor inconvenience for one nights stay, but you could hear the trains, even when the blackout blinds were down, so not good for light sleepers. I did request to change rooms by phoning down to reception but was informed that I’d have to come downstairs to make that request. As I was short on time, I didn’t bother. Food: We came back to the hotel late (around 11pm) and was a bit hungry, so decided to order from the night menu- however when we scanned the app, the web page was blank, so I rang catering to be told that there is no room service available currently which again was disappointing as was not informed of this at check-in. We ended up ordering food via uber eats. Spa: I was informed at check-in that you can book your swimming slot by scanning a QR code. The silicone at the sides of the swimming pool were peeled off and flapping in the pool. Area around the pool did not look so clean. Wouldn’t stay at this Park Plaza again.

Great value hotel in downtown London, close to public transportation and just over the Westminster bridge. Breakfast was filling and delicious and staff were polite and professional. Our room was clean but bathroom did not have a main door. There is only a sliding door between the shower and the toilet which obviously affects privacy. Also, if you take a shower past 9am, there will only be cold water so take it earlier or the night before. Regardless of these minor inconveniences, I would still recommend this place.

The hotel is quite modern. On the other hand, they may go a bit too far with the energy efficiency. The hallways are very dimly lit as are the bathrooms in the rooms, with very poor lighting. There is very little privacy as there is no door on the bathroom. Just a sliding glass door on the toilet. The glass door slides across to the shower, so y two people can’t use both at the same time.

Very clean and spacious room, and the overall hotel facilities are quite satisfactory. Well maintained building, very courteous staff. However, the air conditioning had a mind of its own—fluctuating between too warm and too cold with not much control. The bedroom could also use better lighting. Otherwise, the location is excellent—right across from a metro station and just a 15-minute walk to the London Eye, Westminster Bridge, and fine dining.

Hotel was very good except the following things I didn’t like: 1: the air freshener at lobby was too strong to my liking; 2: I was assigned to a room on 3rd floor that had the window facing to a light well of about 3.5m wide, basically looking into the room on the opposite side. The window sheer was somewhat transparent especially when the indoor lights were on. I had to let the blind out curtain down.

We had a wonderful stay at Park Plaza Waterloo. The staff was outstanding, and the concierge team—Tony and Michael—were especially amazing: incredibly helpful and full of great information! The front desk staff was equally fantastic. Breakfast was delicious, and the servers were kind and accommodating. One suggestion would be to introduce a little more variety at breakfast, as we stayed for 11 days and the offerings were mostly the same each morning. That said, everything was consistently well-prepared and tasty. The gym facilities were excellent, and we really enjoyed the sauna and pool as well. Park Plaza is also very kid-friendly, with a playroom and a mascot that greets the children each morning—such a thoughtful touch! The hotel is in a great location, about a 10-12 minute walk from the London Eye, with Big Ben and other attractions nearby. We traveled a long way to the UK, and staying at Park Plaza made the journey absolutely worth it. We had a truly wonderful time and were very sad to leave. We will definitely be back!

I’m deeply disappointed with the management of this hotel. Due to an unexpected whilefire at the airport we were scheduled to fly out of, all flights were grounded. I contacted the hotel immediately to explain the situation — something entirely beyond our control. Despite notifying them before our planned check-in and providing full context, the hotel refused to issue a refund or offer any form of accommodation, stating that the situation was also beyond their control. While I understand that policies are in place, their complete lack of flexibility and compassion in such an extraordinary circumstance is truly disheartening. We never had the opportunity to stay at the property, yet were charged the full amount —. This was a very disappointing experience. A real shame, and a poor reflection on the values of this hotel.

On the 4th day I went to the manager and that’s when they realized it was actually broken and had to order a part. By this time my it was my last day. Just would have preferred if the staff didn’t lie to me day after day.

Stay at this hotel at your own risk. The cleaning people do with your property what they want, including throwing your stuff out. And they don't clean. The floor was dusty the whole time.

Easy walk from London Waterloo, but also very close to Lembeth walk tube station, lovely entrance way with chilled water. All the staff we encountered were super helpful there was also a good presence of (perhaps management) people ensuring everything was running smoothly. The room was clean with a great air con system to ensure it was never too hot or cold. We used the pool twice and was easy to book it lots of available towels, clean changing rooms, and again a presence of staff ensuring it was clean and floors were mopped and dry. If I was going to be picky the edges of the pool there were seals that were a bit mucky and starting to come off. Probably my only disappointment was breakfast the queue was quite long (9.30 Saturday morning) and then the food was ok, bacon was good. Bread was a bit stale and just felt lacking in some bits. A little slow to refill things especially orange juice and the breakfasts area just felt a bit chaotic and not overly enjoyable. I would definitely stay again but next time maybe go out for breakfast x

We returned early from our night to have a drink in the hotel, returned around 22:30 and the bar was closed. We were not given any explanation for why this was the case when we asked and the staff member was quite rude about it. We raised it at reception when checking out the following morning who said they will get in touch with us. I am still waiting for contact but the receptionist was lovely. Overall, I would definitely stay again.

The. Room was comfortable and good value, and the hotel well located for a London city break, or a longer holiday visiting London and south-east England. However, catering let them down: when asked for decaf tea, both for the room refreshments and at breakfast, it took several requests before we were told that it is not available; there were long queues for breakfast, even outside their busy period; and the quality of the hot buffet left a lot to be desired. Overall breakfast at £22 each was diabolical value!
