Cons:

I was quite disappointed that there was decorating going on on the fourth floor where we staying. I think this should have been mention on booking or maybe the room should have been discounted because of this or even free breakfast thrown in. The room its self was lovely however the corridor was dusty and dirty and it was walked into our room. Also it was noisy due to the decorating going on.

Pros:

Colazione ottima. Bar e ristorante ottimi responsabile. Posizione centrale ma un tantino distante dalla fermata della metropolitana, circa 15 min a piedi.

Cons:

Al nostro arrivo, abbiamo trovato sul nostro piano, il pavimento incellofanato in quanto erano in corso dei lavori di pitturazione che rendevano disagevole il passaggio a causa della polvere e cattivo odore.

Unwilling to offer flexibility and proper customer service
Pros:

I was not able to stay at the Novotel London Waterloo. I booked my room through booking.com and my travel plans changed, and I needed to shift my two night reservation by one night, from a Friday/Saturday to Saturday/Sunday the same weekend. I booked a non-refundable room, but I wasn't asking to cancel or for a refund. The hotel refused to accommodate me despite there being rooms available. They would allow me to book the same room for a third night but would not simply shift the reservation. Booking.com told me that how they handle these situations is entirely at their discretion. If they had honored my request, I would likely be writing a glowing review, praising them for being helpful and offering excellent customer service. Unfortunately, that is not the case. I do not recommend this hotel and will be telling all of my colleagues in London about this situation and to avoid sending referring visitors there.
