Dear Florian P., Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your stay with us. We are pleased to hear that you appreciated our convenient location, the friendliness and responsiveness of our team, as well as the pool, Wi-Fi and our efforts to reduce single-use plastics.

Close to major attractions and public transport. The staff were friendly and polite throughout our stay, responding promptly to requests. Cleanliness did not always meet expectations; there was an unpleasant odor in the hallways. Some items were missing from the room (slippers, a blanket for the third person). The option to opt out of housekeeping services didn't work in our case, even though we requested it directly from the hotel staff. The same food every morning. Overall, we appreciated the location and the friendliness of the staff, but some housekeeping and room preparation issues affected our stay.

I think Novotel will do well to bring in a bit of variety in b'fast especially for vegetarians...also, I would like to add that when someone wants spicey (I was surprised when teh chef in the morning said the hotel do not use Chillis), it should be given - equally surprised when teh same was given during my dinner!!!

Not much choice for breakfast and not the experience you expect for the price and Staff at the restaurant entrance were not very welcoming, asked for my welcome drink and he had me go to other table at the corner as if i was punished for not paying the drink and then mentionned it's reserverd where i was literraly the only person at the whole restaurant at that time, not smart and warm welcome i see in other ALL hotels

Dear Othman L., Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are genuinely sorry to learn that your recent stay did not meet the standard you expected, particularly as an ALL Accor Gold member. We sincerely apologise for the experience you had in the restaurant. The way you were welcomed and assisted with your welcome drink clearly did not create the warm and attentive experience we aim to provide. We understand how the situation with the reserved table could have made you feel uncomfortable, and we regret that this was not handled with greater courtesy and flexibility. We are also sorry that our breakfast selection did not meet your expectations and that you felt the overall experience did not represent good value for money. Your comments regarding the accommodation, cleanliness, and service have also been noted and will be shared with the relevant teams. We truly value your loyalty to ALL Accor and are disappointed that we did not deliver the level of recognition and hospitality you should expect. Your feedback gives us an important opportunity to review our service and improve. Thank you again for bringing these concerns to our attention. We hope to have the opportunity to restore your confidence in us on a future visit. Sincerely, Katie Walsh Guest Service Manager

Lior T. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

I feel i got what i paid for. I enjoyed that the room was not dark like the current trend and the gluten free and vegan options in breakfast. The gym could be better, card for the gym is a bit waste of time and the desk is too short so not so comfortable. Staff was great. Bottom line i enjoyed my stay and will come back again.

We are delighted to hear that you felt you received good value for money and that you particularly appreciated the brightness and style of your room, as well as the gluten-free and vegan breakfast options.

Lorelei W. Families - Confirmed reviews ALL

We have stayed several times and love the hotel and staff and rooms etc. however this time the change in management and ambience and food at the new restaurant MAM was extremely disappointing and that changed our stay. We always spent alot of time at jamboree and this time we had to avoid it when possible. Unwelcoming and bad service and even the welcome drinks were limited to one type of cheap wine or a beer.

Dear Lorelei W., Thank you again for taking the time to share such detailed feedback following your recent stay with us. As a long-standing Platinum member and a returning guest, we were particularly sorry to hear that your experience with MAM affected a stay that you would otherwise describe as near perfect. I would really appreciate it if you could share a little more detail about what happened, as this would help us understand the situation properly and follow up with the team. In particular, if you remember, could you let us know what time of day you experienced the issues with the welcome and service, and what happened when you were trying to use your welcome drink? We would also be grateful to know which food or dishes you ordered at MAM for lunch or dinner and what specifically did not meet your expectations. We also noted your comments regarding the handling of ALL loyalty points and the welcome amenity, and these are areas we would like to look into further. Thank you again for your honesty and for giving us the opportunity to better understand what went wrong. Your feedback is especially valuable to us as a returning guest, and we hope to ensure your future stays reflect the experience you have come to expect from us.

Claire H. Friends - Confirmed reviews ALL

The location was perfect for a weekend in London! 20 minute walk to London bridge station and the nearest tube is just up the road! The staff were really friendly and helpful even at midnight when we were all a little bit tipsy! Our room was clean and the beds were comfy! The breakfast was lovely and the poached eggs were well worth waiting for!

Dear Claire H., Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed our convenient location, comfortable beds, clean room and lovely breakfast. We are especially pleased that you enjoyed the poached eggs! It is fantastic to hear your kind comments about our team. We will certainly pass your compliments on to the lady who welcomed you at check-in and our night team member. They will be delighted to know that their friendly and patient service helped make your stay enjoyable. We also appreciate you bringing the carpet stains to our attention. We are sorry that this affected your otherwise positive impression, and we will share your comments with our housekeeping team. Thank you for your perfect overall rating and recommendation. We hope to welcome you and your friends back for another London weekend very soon. Sincerely, Katie Walsh Guest Service Manager

Reception warm and welcoming. Made my staff feel great

Dear Bakhos S., Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We are delighted to hear that you found our Reception team warm and welcoming and that they made you feel so well looked after. Your kind recognition of the entire Reception team is greatly appreciated and will certainly be shared with them. We are sorry, however, to hear about the hair you found in your room.

Sylvain J. Couples - Confirmed reviews ALL

The Good: the location, the quality of the bedding, and the soundproofing of the room. The Average: a rather poorly equipped gym, only two elevators in service, and room housekeeping that felt a little rushed (the bed was made in quite a hurry). The Bad: some of the breakfast unfriendly staff seem to be training in telekinesis, trying to clear the tables simply by staring at the dishes. (Spoiler alert: it doesn’t work.) Overall, the value for money was nothing exceptional.

Dear Sylvain J., Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and candid feedback following your stay with us. We’re pleased to hear that you appreciated our location, the quality of the bedding, and the soundproofing of your room. At the same time, we’re sorry that several aspects of your experience fell short of expectations. We particularly regret your comments regarding the breakfast service. While we’re pleased that one of our team members gave you a warm welcome, it is disappointing to hear that the service from other members of the dining team was not as friendly or efficient as it should have been. Your feedback will be shared with the team for attention and improvement. We also note your comments regarding the gym facilities, the availability of our lifts, and the standard of housekeeping. We understand how these details can affect the overall experience, and we will take your observations into consideration as we continue to improve our service. We’re sorry that you felt the overall value for money did not meet your expectations. Nevertheless, we appreciate your honesty, as feedback such as yours helps us identify where we need to do better. Thank you again for staying with us and for sharing your experience. Sincerely, Katie Walsh Guest Service Manager

Restaurant needs improvement. Diner menu very limited . Breakfast needs substantial improvement: sausages unedible, bacon overcooked and tasteless.

Dear Mark C., Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback following your recent stay with us.
