Julie H. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

This is a beautiful hotel, but as the main reason to stay somewhere is to sleep, relax and decompress, this hotel failed. It was quite hot in our room, and the front desk was unable to help as the air circulation system was not able to be switched from hot to cold air. It was very difficult to sleep. The shower was silly; there was a shower head aimed at your stomach or barely pressured water falling fixture directly overhead drowning you- it was so odd. You are not allowed to eat or drink anything from outside the hotel in their lobby; there are signs on each table. So, if I pick up a coffee and pastry from next door, I can’t sit in their lobby to enjoy it. There were other overlooked functional details: we had a Superior Twin room, yet there was only water glass and one chair. Location was very good! Staff was amazing, some more than others. Cameron especially attempted to make our stay as comfortable as possible, but I wouldn’t recommend it to others.

Have regularly stayed at the Bankside Mecure for over 10 years. The rooms are small (it is London) but clean and the staff is always helpful. Where things have slipped are the overall booking experience (both website and app), and the general upkeep of the rooms. After I finally was successful making my booking, I had issues using my points (which the staff was eventually able to sort out but still took a lot of my time both before and during the trip). We also needed to change rooms after the first night b/c the thermostat was broken, so the heat wouldn't shut off so it was both hot and loud (plus we had our window open); again staff to the rescue with a new room, but it was an annoyance to repack after having just settled in.

The location was great, unfortunately the staff weren’t particularly friendly. My husband got walked in on whilst changing by cleaning staff, no knock, which was uncomfortable.

Zbuchea A. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We enjoyed the stay. The location is very good as you know. The reception was helpful and friendly. I would say that the bathroom facilities should be improved to justify a 4* hotel. Signaling better at the location might be also improved. But we had a good experience and we think we will come back.

Dear A., Thank you for your positive feedback regarding your recent stay. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location and found our reception team helpful and friendly. We appreciate your suggestions regarding bathroom facilities and signage, and we will certainly consider them as part of our ongoing improvement efforts. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best regards, Mercedesz Front Office Team Leader

David M. Business - Confirmed reviews ALL

The furnishings in the rooms are very old (rugs, sofa, tables, etc.). They urgently need to be refurbished or replaced. The bathroom door has swollen at the bottom due to water from the shower and should also be replaced as well. Drinking water is only available in the hallway on each floor. Room rates are too high for this kind of quality in the rooms.

Nice clean hotel. Staff were very friendly. Only complaint was the quality of the 'salade nicoise' that we had in the restaurant. It lacked taste/flavour.

Greeted at prompt check in. Status recognised and room upgraded. Amenity gift handed over. Good breakfast. Staff couldn't do enough. In stark contrast to NOVOTEL GREENWICH that I stayed at the week before which was a dreadful experience - from check in to departures and pretty much all points in between.
