“The Mad Hatter's whimsical Alice in Wonderland theme is a genuine draw, and the little luxuries, like in-room coffee and chocolates, make a real difference; that's savvy hospitality. Its proximity to the Thames and main attractions, plus an authentic English pub downstairs, makes it easy to enjoy London. This hotel gets the details right.”

Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Mad Hatter Hotel is appreciated for its convenient location near transport links and within walking distance of Borough Market, with some tube stations just a few minutes away. Guests enjoy complimentary treats in their rooms, such as coffee, chocolates, and items in the fridge. A highlight for many is the breakfast, and guests also appreciate having a coffee machine and kettle in their rooms; however, some guests have noted noise from the street due to the hotel's location at a crossroads. The building exudes a charming Victorian character.
