Kelvin Business - 23/12/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

It was amazing I particularly liked the french black male who checked us in he made us feel so comfortable and welcomed he was very polite and helpful and deserves a promotion. The only downside was the fire alarm in the morning so I wouldn’t recommend going on a Monday. Apart from that it was a blast

Louise P. Families - 13/12/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

A lovely family break in a well- located hotel. The welcome from the reception staff was good, especially for the children who loved the jelly beans! Room very pleasant. Nice view of Shard. Enough space for 4 and good sized bathroom. Very impressed that the swimming pool was open and we were able to use it twice in our 1 night stay. Only slight criticism was the time it took to get served at breakfast. It felt like the poor chef was a little overwhelmed, whilst the waiting staff could have been a more attentive. Nonetheless, given the restrictions of covid which the hotel was working within, it was a really nice break and a good interruption in difficult times.

Dear Louise P., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel London Blackfriars. I was delighted to read that you had a lovely Family break in our hotel, and you were able to relax during this special times. Your recognition is the best reward for our hotel and we are most grateful for your recommendation. Regarding the breakfast, I do apologies for the quality of the services provided during your visit, I will advised the food and Beverage manager, to look into it for a future improvement. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one, with more Jelly beans :) Sincerely, Traore Babaye - Guest Services Manager.

Small room

Anonymous Families - 13/12/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We were genuinely very happy with the stay. The kindness of the staff and the location. We didn't feel comfortable as a family of 3 in a relativity small room with only a narrow sofa bed offered to our 10 years old to sleep on.

Very good

The hotel was pleasant and clean and i felt Covid safe whilst there. We did have a problem with a sink that would not drain and i reported it in the morning on check out. All the staff we encountered were helpful, friendly and professional. We stayed for one night prior to an appointment at Barts and it was the perfect location for our purpose

Great location and friendly staff

Neha Families - 08/11/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

We loved the efficiency and friendliness of the hotel staff, especially with the added restrictions of covid times and we stayed the night before London went into lockdown 2.0. Hotel is located within walking distance of trains, tubes, buses and main attractions such as London eye, Borough market, etc. We could see the Shard from our room. The bathroom was modern and lovely. It would have been an even more enjoyable stay if the furniture in the room was not as dated, the TV had the option of Netflix or Amazon prime. The Freeview channels didn't all work. However our primary purpose for the visit was to explore London and enjoy the pool, so this didn't spoil our stay.

Dear Mrs L., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel London Blackfriars. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback. I will share your comments with our team, especially with Teone, the receptionist who checked you in. I am sure that this feedback will serve as an encouragement to all of our staff as we strive to continuously improve the quality of our services. I have well noted your comment about the TV. This is something we are definitely looking into and hopefully we should be able to upgrade our TVs next year. As for the cleanliness of the bathroom and the sofa, please allow me to express my sincerest apologies. Rest assured that your feedback will be passed onto our Head housekeeper and we will take the appropriate measures to prevent any future occurrence. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Charline Decobert Operations Manager
