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.

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

We had a gorgeous corner room on the tenth floor so our view was stunning. We had a really romantic time and the staff were lovely. Really went the extra mile with a big smile. The pool was a brilliant addition, a bit chilly but after a few lengths was ok. Was great to have a swim. We had a brilliant stay and will definitely be back. Thanks.

We stayed for my son’s birthday and the hotel staff went above and beyond to make it a special stay. I couldn’t fault the service; everyone was really helpful, friendly and polite. Babaye in particular did an amazing job. The rooms were spotlessly clean, the beds were super comfortable (even the sofa bed), breakfast was great (both service and food), and the swimming pool was fantastic. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Dear Mrs C., We very much appreciate your comments regarding your stay at the Novotel London Blackfriars. It is always a pleasure to receive positive feedback.

Had a wonderful night! It was my boyfriends 21st and the display on the bed was such a nice surprise for him. Staff were so lovely and welcoming from the welcome, to our questions being answered, breakfast service and the goodbye. Only slight complaint that really wasn’t an issue was the temperature of the swimming pool was quite chilly.

Lorna L. Families - 02/11/2020 Confirmed reviews ALL

The hotel staff were exceptional, polite, courteous, helpful and friendly. The food we had in the evening and at breakfast was okay, we appreciated the bottled water in the room. The room was lovely and clean, the bathroom was to a high standard. Unfortunately my husband and I didn't sleep very well, we couldn't get the room temperature comfortable for us, it was fairly cold to begin with , and then just warm air overnight making breathing unpleasant. I spent the night on one section of the sofa bed with one of my children on the other, it was so hard and uncomfortable exacerbating my pre-existing back pain, and my husband found the pillows to be too hard. I fully appreciate that that some of this is personal preference that simply cannot be accomodated. We found the hotel to be spotlessly clean with plenty of hand sanitising stations. We enjoyed the use of the swimming pool, although a little cold for my preference, and found it useful to book a session, again observing COVID 19 guidelines. We were pleased with the hotel's good location, and it's proximity to London Blackfriars and the Jubilee Line both of which accomodated the plans we had for our stay. We also appreciated the baggage holding facility.

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 Teone and Alina. 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 was sorry to hear that you and your husband didn't have a good sleep. Please allow us to express our sincerest apologies. Did you report to a member of staff the issue you had with the temperature? We could have come up immediately to have a look at it and provide you with an adequate solution. 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

We stayed here for 3 nights and enjoyed the hotel very much. The hotel is ideally situated for all attractions. The hotel was very clean and we stayed on the 8th floor so had a wonderful view of the Shard. We didnt get chance to use the pool but it looked nice. The bar area was very relaxing and the food looked good. The guy on front reception was very helpful. Would use this hotel again.

The hotel reception staff were fantastic, especially Dereck. My daughter wanted a hot choc for bed time and he organised this no problem. Breakfast in the room free of charge was a great service too.
