Bottom Line

With minimal amenities and generic furnishings, the 162-room Days Hotel Waterloo is a basic, functional hotel located opposite the Imperial War Museum in the Waterloo District of the London borough of Lambeth. While the Days Hotel London covers the basics, those seeking a more individualized hotel experience might want to try the nearby Wellington Hotel.

Oyster Hotel Review

Days Hotel by Wyndham London-Waterloo

Scene

A budget chain hotel with crimson red splashes of color amid generic furnishings

From the unadorned brick facade to the worn brown leather seats in the lounge, Days Hotel Waterloo provides minimal excitement. The open-plan layout of the lobby and lounge opens the space up a bit, but the limited natural light makes the reception area feel a bit claustrophobic. And while there is plenty of seating available in the lounge area, seats are spaced a little too close for comfort. A few small details, such as the exposed brickwork in hallways and red crimson theme throughout the hotel add a touch of individuality, but the overall feel is generic and bland.

Location

A five-minute walk from Lambeth North tube station in southeast London, on busy Kennington Road

Located in the Waterloo District of the London borough of Lambeth, the Days Inn London Waterloo is across the street from the Imperial War Museum. The London Eye and the the Waterloo Train Station are within a 10-minute walk. While Lambeth North station is a five-minute walk from the hotel, it only services the Bakerloo line, which might make the location slightly inconvenient for some.

Rooms

Clean and functional, with a crimson red theme amid generic furnishings

Standard rooms come with one double or two single beds. A limited number of family rooms that can sleep up to two adults and two children are also available. All rooms include coffeemakers, flat-screen TVs, and 23 free foreign-language channels. All bathrooms have been recently renovated, with marble walls and new shower fixtures. While splashes of red liven the look of the rooms, the worn furniture diminishes the effect.

Features

Standard on-site features in a standard corporate chain hotel

Days Hotels -- not to be confused with Days Inns -- are from the same Days brand but distinguish themselves with fully cooked English breakfast offered to guests, as opposed to a continental style breakfast offered in Days Inns. Breakfast is not included in the standard room rates however -- and neither is the Wi-Fi. In addition to the breakfast, the restaurant also serves dinner seven days a week, and there is an outdoor patio area to use when the weather permits. A daily happy hour with reduced-price drinks at the 24-hour bar is a major perk here.
