Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Without exception, all the staff we dealt with from the reception on check in through to departure were first class. Friendly but efficient and always helpful. The room was comfortable and the breakfast of a good standard. A great location as it is quiet for London but minutes from the river and 10 minutes from the National Theatre and the South Bank restaurants and bars. Easy walk to Blackfriars Thames Link station.

I stayed overnight, as I was a facilitating a study day the next day. The room was really lovely, clean, comfortable and well stocked. The next day I had quite serious technical problems with my own equipment and I cannot praise the conference team, Reshma, Loredaha and Deval highly enough who stepped in to help to make it work. Without their calm and professional approach, the training would have been a disaster. Thank you so much!

Stayed for 2 nights in a double room. The staff are so friendly and helpful. Restaurant/bar is a lovely place with a great variety of food and drinks. Buffet breakfast was delicious with plenty of choices on offer. Hotel was centrally located with easy access to all attraction etc.. The reason I didn't give 5 stars was that I felt a little maintenance wouldn't go amiss i.e. bathroom sink slow to drain, shower was not very easy to adjust and the tea/coffee facilities in the room could be updated to a machine. Overall I would definitely recommend this hotel and I would return.

A really great hotel and excellent staff. The breakfast was excellent lots of choise and the restaurant food is very good. The bar and restaurant staff are very friendly and helpful. The receptionist was great, even going so far as to get us a taxi on the road when our taxi cancelled. You have hired great staff and hotel and location are perfect. We'll Done All!

Conference centre Used on several occasions over last year - most recently this week. Excellent room and facilities. It’s clean, comfortable, and easy to access from Southwark tube which helps our participants come in from all over London and beyond. The mid session refreshments throughout the day are tasty. Really professional venue with responsive and supportive staff (we were supported by Reshma and Deval)

The stay with the hotel was really comfortable. Staff is good in hospitality, very humble and always helping with the smile. They are always available to support, even at the late hours of the day. I thoroughly enjoyed their friendly. Specifically quoting one if their staff member "Isha". In a week span of our stay at Novotel, Isha proved to be the friendliest person around. She use to be our go to staff for morning buffets. Always helping us with customised hot food (being vegetarians), and ready to take care of ours. We are definitely going to carry forward our friendship with her even when back in India.

Room was the best experienced in London so far and I have stayed at the mock, ibis and hoxton. The rooms are so clean, recently renovated, spacious and the beds so soft. The lobby has complimentary fresh baked cookies that are delicious and incredibly soft. Staff is extremely pleasant. It’s centrally located across from the bus and down the street from the Underground. Breakfast was great was great and included in the room rate. In the breakfast area, Isha was incredibly helpful. She made the pancakes, helped find vegan options for my family and had a very approachable and friendly vibe. I would come back here just to experience Ishas level of service. Loved my stay here but loved Isha even more. This is a highly recommended location.

From the moment we arrived, the staff were very friendly, efficient and couldn't do enough for us. We arrived before check in time, nevertheless, the staff sat us down, offered us coffee, and made sure the wait for our room was very comfortable after a 24 hour flight. The rooms were clean and comfortable, also a great central location. Would highly recommend. A special mention must go to Guiseppe, Denisa and Naymul, for their friendliness and professional manner.
