The Spotlight on Novotel London Blackfriars

Stylish South Bank Stay Just Minutes from the Action

Modern, sleek, and superbly located, Novotel London Blackfriars is a contemporary hotel in the heart of Southwark. Just steps from Blackfriars Bridge and a short walk to London’s buzzing South Bank and countless concert venues, this hotel combines comfort, convenience, and a touch of luxury with an urban vibe.
The rooms are bright and modern, featuring rain showers, 32-inch flat-screen TVs, and free high-speed Wi-Fi. With an on-site pool, sauna, and fitness centre, it’s a top pick for travelers who want to unwind after a big night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location is everything, and this hotel delivers. It’s only a 2-minute walk to Southwark Tube Station and under 10 minutes to major rail hubs like Waterloo and Blackfriars. That means easy late-night transport back after gigs, even if the encore runs long. The soundproofed rooms offer a surprisingly quiet retreat despite the central location, and the 12:00 PM checkout gives you a bit of extra recovery time.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a fun weekend in the city
  • Solo travelers catching a bucket-list band
  • Couples making a music-filled getaway
  • Fans who want a calm space to recharge
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who still want quality

Food and Drink Options

The hotel’s on-site restaurant and bar make pre- or post-show dining easy, and there are plenty of walkable eateries along the South Bank. While there’s no 24/7 room service, late-night options are nearby, and the hotel serves breakfast late enough to accommodate a lie-in after a big night.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re just moments from the South Bank’s bars, lounges, and live music venues. Whether you're into craft cocktails or pub vibes, there’s something close by. The hotel bar is also a great spot for a low-key nightcap.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, modern rooms, the friendly staff, and the excellent transport links. Many mention how convenient the location is for both sightseeing and gig-going. The pool and sauna are also standout features for those wanting to unwind.

Areas for Improvement

The pool area can get a bit crowded during peak hours, and a few guests noted that the pillows could be more comfortable. But overall, these are minor quibbles in an otherwise smooth stay.

The Bottom Line

Novotel London Blackfriars is an ideal base for music fans looking for modern comfort and unbeatable access to London’s top venues.

Beautiful hotel & so central...

Liked: Beautiful hotel & the its located right beside the tube so you can literally go anywhere on it. Staff were lovely
Disliked: Ppl worry about the see-through glass in the bathroom but it has a button inside to block it out so wasn't a problem even staying in the room with two teenagers.

Passable

Liked: The staff at the reception were friendly. The gym looked good although i did not have time to use it.
Disliked: The food provided in the breakfast was not great. There was variety but i was expecting better quality food, having stayed in a premium queensize bedroom. The water in the pool was a bit too cold, while the sauna was too mild. The shower was leaking water form above, although i asked at the reception to have this fixed, someone went there but it stayed the same. The water from the shower was not flowing out, so the water accumulated and leaked out through out the bathroom.The coffee from the coffee machine was horrible, and the pancakes were of poor quality. The staff working at the restaurant during the breakfast were not much friendly, i never heard a 'excuse me', sometimes they would bump into people when rushing through to do their work.
