Advantages: not too far from main attractions Disadvantages: really unfriendly staff
...in London and picked this Novotel for its location as we thought it would be closer (or have easier acces to transports) to the centre of London.
It is actually not too far, but not exactly in Waterloo, more like a 10-15 minutes walk from it.
