The Spotlight on The Mad Hatter Hotel

Historic Charm Meets South Bank Buzz

A classic London stay with a quirky twist, The Mad Hatter Hotel sits just steps from the River Thames in the heart of Southwark. Housed in a beautifully preserved 19th-century former hat factory, it blends old-school British charm with modern conveniences like free Wi-Fi and comfortable, well-equipped rooms. With the Tate Modern, Covent Garden, and major music venues all within walking distance, this spot is a smart pick for music lovers wanting to stay central without sacrificing character.

Why Concert-goers love it

The location is hard to beat—just a 5-minute walk from Waterloo Station, so late-night returns after gigs are super easy, even if your show runs late. The surrounding area is lively but not noisy, offering a great balance of nightlife access and peaceful sleep. With flexible check-in from 15:00 and a smooth check-out at 11:00, there’s plenty of time to recover after a high-energy night out.

Who this Hotel is great for

- Groups of friends who want nearby pubs and a central base
- Solo travelers catching that once-in-a-lifetime show
- Couples looking for a romantic weekend with concert vibes
- Fans who need a quieter space to wind down
- Budget-conscious music lovers who still want a quality stay

Food and Drink Options

The on-site pub is a highlight, serving classic English dishes and hearty pies—the perfect post-show comfort food. While there’s no 24/7 room service, the central location means plenty of late-night dining options are just a walk away. Breakfast is available and worth waking up for, even after a late one.

Nightlife Options

The hotel’s own bar offers a cozy vibe with real ales and homey atmosphere, ideal for pre-concert drinks or a nightcap. You're also just a short stroll from riverside bars, lounges, and buzzing spots around the South Bank and Waterloo.

What People Say

Guests love the historic character of the building, the superb location for sightseeing and events, and the friendly, helpful staff. Many mention the clean, comfortable rooms and the on-site pub as standout features.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests note that rooms can feel a bit dated and that there’s no elevator, which might be a consideration for those with mobility concerns. But the charm and character more than make up for it.

The Bottom Line

A cozy, character-filled base in the heart of London—The Mad Hatter Hotel is perfect for concert-goers who want charm, convenience, and comfort all in one place.

Liked: Excellent location for visiting the Globe Theatre as well as very close to good transport links. There was a super friendly and helpful guy on reception who set the tone for a very happy stay. My room was lovely with a great selection of teas and coffees, a bathrobe, charming decor and a lovely comfortable bed. The breakfast which was included was delicious with plentiful options that reached beyond the usual breakfast buffet. My only criticism was the lack of plug socket next to the bed for my phone, but this feels like splitting hairs as everything else was truly excellent.

Excellent, we will be visiting...

Liked: The whole experience was great. The staff are extremely friendly knowledgeable and happy to give you their advice. The hotel is an oasis in a place where everything is glass and chrome. Food was terrific and the rooms are very quaint all on an Alice in Wonderland theme.
Disliked: Can’t think of anything to make the stay any better.

We would return willingly. The...

Liked: Decent sized room with a good bathroom. We have stayed at the Mad Hatter a few times and know our way around the area so for us it's in a good location. A good selection of cereals, juices and bread with preserves.Excellent staff on reception.
Disliked: I prefer a shower head that is angled and that you don't have to hold.I was served scrambled eggs which was not my interpretation of the dish. The hot water container on the sideboard must have been there a long time. It was far from hot.

Superb

Disliked: The only negative was the fact that we couldn't close the top windows (Room 103) so it was very noisy, especially when the refuse truck turned up in the morning.
