5/5 Excellent
"Very nice hotel! Close to the iconic sights of London and easy to get around."
A verified traveller from Bartlett stayed at Marlin Waterloo
"Excellent for everything, restaurants and bars where all a stones through away and the gift shop which is attached to the hotel was great for snacks, drinks, don’t use the hotel shop it is way overprices and the gift shop is practically next door to it, a can of coke in the hotel shop £2.00 same can of coke in the gift shop 90p"
"Funny how things turn out for the better. I booked the hotel due to its close proximity to Pancras Station, as my stay was only for one day. At first having no view was somewhat bothersome and I hesitated booking it, but it was only for one night, so why not.
Let me tell you, this was THE BEST decision I made. After traveling over 20 hours by plane, train, the tube, walking throughout the city and staying out after midnight, the rooms in the sub level from the lobby are peacefully q-u-i-e-t. I slept so well without hearing traffic noise or sensing sunlight creeping through the curtains. If this type of room was available in every big city after a long grueling travel day, I would book in a heartbeat. The quality rest was worth it!"

"Great location being just a two minute walk from Marble Arch station and Hyde Park. Hotel is well run and very modern.
Just one minor gripe - not enough lifts which can mean long waits. There are stairs, but they are difficult to find often being hidden behind unlabelled brown doors.
Would definitely stay there again if I ever needed to."

"Lovely reception area and staff was very nice and helpful. Room was dated but we had a very comfortable stay and didn't mind for the price paid. Large quadruple room with 2 twin beds in an upstairs loft. Clean bathroom. The location was perfect for us. Took the tube direct from Heathrow to Gloucester Rd station. Short 5 min walk to hotel from station. Gloucester Rd station had direct tube lines to the main sights so very convenient. Would definitely stay here again."
