Super godt - beliggenhed fantastisk
Pros:

Morgenmaden var god, madras, puder og dyne også god, og der var rimelig med plads på værelset. Stedet er lidt slidt, men rent og charmen er helt i top. Fantastisk god beliggenhed.

Cons:

Nogle af vinduerne var ikke helt tætte, så der er sikkert koldt om vinteren

Bestes Hotel in London ! :-)
Pros:

Das Beste Hotel, dass ich je in London hatte. Es stimmt einfach alles! Super Mitarbeiter, cooles altes authentisches Londoner Gebäude. Es war die Authentizität dieses Hotel in mitten der neuen Glastürme in Southwark, das uns sehr begeisterte. Wer modernen Komfort sucht ist hier falsch! Sehr bequeme Betten! Cooles Inhouse Pub, in welchem man ein absolut leckeres Frühstück bekommt! Ich hoffe das The Mad Hatter Hotel noch lange besteht, das wir dies wieder besuchen können.

Cons:

Absolut nichts!

4 nights/5 days in London
Pros:

The staff were great, the Pub/restaurant in hotel is excellent. Very good breakfast and good dinners—plus wide selection at the bar. For London excellent pricing. Easy walk to Black friar station and Waterloo station. It is an older building but good size rooms. Typical Britain no AC

Cons:

Nothing

Great being at The Mad Hatter
Pros:

Hotel, staff, excellent good quality food.
Mobility impaired people thought about. Ramp, lift, accessible room and bathroom ( better with a walk in shower.) Discount for residents dining in the hotel. Very pleasant, friendly and helpful staff.
Would definitely stay again.

Cons:

Walk in shower would be great.
