Novotel London Blackfriars

The hotel has an indoor swimming pool, a saunarium (a heated relaxation area with sauna), and a fitness center. Guests can book 1-hour pool slots at reception to manage capacity, with a limit of 14 people per session. On-site recreation includes board games, a children's play area, and live sport events shown on big screens at the bar.

Rooms have a 55-inch flat-screen TV with the ability to cast content from a personal device. The bathroom features a rain shower and a privacy glass switch that makes the shower screen turn from clear to frosted. Premium and Executive rooms add a balcony with a view of The Shard, a Nespresso machine, and bathrobes with slippers.

The hotel sits less than 300 metres from Blackfriars Bridge and a 2-minute walk from Southwark Tube Station on the Jubilee line. Major attractions within a 15-minute walk include the London Eye, Tate Modern, and Borough Market. Blackfriars Rail Station and London Waterloo are both under half a mile away.

The on-site Jamboree Foodfest & Bar restaurant serves international cuisine and cocktails, with a varied breakfast buffet available each morning. Children eat breakfast free when accompanied by a paying adult. The bar offers happy hour, live music, and a snack bar menu.

The hotel provides family rooms with separate single sofa beds for children and an option for connecting rooms (two rooms joined by a private corridor door). A dedicated children's play area and board games are available on site. Strollers can be borrowed from reception, and the indoor pool has a uniform depth safe for young swimmers.
