Another good stay at Blackfriars

Customer review rating 4.5/5

Mika S. Families - 20/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Our second time on this hotel and pleasant as always. One issue that has not been changed was the cleaning and small items in room. Especially at times when hygienic levels should be even more clear. E.g. the glasses in bathroom were just put on to the table plainly and not on disposable papers. Small thing, but makes all the difference world. The sauna and swimming pool were great. The breakfast as great as ever. Maybe a bit more fruits needed, but I guess that is more seasonal thing.

I will share your comments with our team. 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 do apologies, for the inconvenience that you had in your room with the cleaning and the service of the small items, I have already advised our Housekeeping Manager, to look into it, for an internal follow up. Thank you again for sharing your experience, and we hope your next visit will be as pleasant as the previous one. Sincerely, Traore Babaye - Guest Services Manager.

Graham M. Couples - 18/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Good stay. My only complaint is the condition of the towels. A child would struggle to dry themselves with those. They are way too small. Also to touch them you would feel that they were made of stone. I stay in hotels on a regular basis and it would be safe to say that these towels are the worst by far.

Dear Graham M., Thank you for taking the time to tell us about your experience at the Novotel London Blackfriars. I was happy to read that you had a good stay in our hotel. I am also sorry to hear that our towels, did not meet your expectations; please allow me to express my sincerest apologies.

Excellent Service + Above and Beyond Expectations

Customer review rating 4.5/5

Chelle Business - 17/03/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

Lovely location - really a great neighborhood central to everything. I arrived VERY early from the USA and my room wasn't ready. After decamping in the adjoining bar they made a room ready for me in under an hour. Very much appreciated. The room was clean and comfortable. Restocked with water and biscuits each day. Room service was prompt and tasty. Reasonable prices, too. The one dinner we had at the adjoining restaurant was very disappointing. The Nachos were a microwaved mess of weird cheese that held the chips in a vice grip. We saw another table send theirs back. We simply didn't eat them and carried on with the fish and chips which were good.

This was my second stay at this Novotel. An excellent room, comfortable and quiet, a very modern bathroom with an excellent shower, a good bed that gave me a very good night of sleep. I really enjoyed the breakfast with a wide choice and quality food. My stay was not the cheapest I could have found, but, all things considered, I believe this to be very high value for money.

Executive room was clean and tidy however staff at checkout APART from Emma were very uninformed and unfriendly. Breakfast was ok. I left at 11am one morning to return at 4pm to do work in my room and it still was not cleaned- this is not acceptable. The leisure facilities were a disgrace- filthy and cold locker/ shower room. Sauna was freezing. Pool was freezing and jacuzzi was freezing. The only reason I didn’t given less than 5 score was because the room was nice and the breakfast was ok.
