Kind regards, Cameron Front Office Team Leader

Emma E. Couples - 8/12/2026 Confirmed reviews ALL

This is a great hotel for exploring the Southbank, Bankside, Borough Market on foot within 5 mins each way. Very safe and vibrant area. The hotel itself is really lovely with a nice bar / lounge area and a nice restaurant if you chose to eat there. The staff were very friendly and check in was quick. We stayed in a Superior King which was a great room, the bed was so comfortable and the room had everything we needed. The only downside was the rainfall shower was more of a trickle even when turned right up and the taps very stiff on the sink and also we had asked for a quiet room and were put into one next to a family with a rather loud toddler (especially at 7am!) so there was some unwanted noise and an unwanted wake up call, but we will definitely consider staying there again on our next London trip. I am also a Travel Agent so am more than happy to recommend to my clients and book for them!

Dear Emma, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Mercure London Bankside. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our prime location, comfortable accommodations, and the friendliness of our staff. It is gratifying to know that our facilities met your expectations and that you found our hotel appealing for exploring the vibrant Southbank area. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you encountered with the rainfall shower and the noise disturbances from neighboring guests. Your feedback regarding the shower pressure and the sink taps is valuable, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We strive to provide guests with a restful experience and regret that we fell short of your request for a quiet room during your stay. We appreciate your willingness to recommend us to your clients and look forward to welcoming you back during your next visit to London. Best regards, Mercedesz Front Office Team Leader
