Latest 5 reviews of Mercure London City Bankside Hotel
Exactly! Whats not to like.
Agree with last review completely. Good standard chain, with friendly staff, spotlessly clean and well located. The public areas and some rooms are all recently refurbished.
Very good breakfast and the upgraded room slept myself and husband in a large king sized bed and our teenage daughter on a fold out double couch. Deal was half the normal rack rate and included breakfast.
Will certainly try for the same hotel/deal on next visit.
M&S food store opposite the hotel is great for provisions.
Excellent Hotel - really enjoyed our stay
We stayed at this hotel for my son's 11th birthday and had a wonderful time. The hotel is stylish and the staff were very helpful and welcoming, which added to the enjoyment of our stay. Our room was spacious and comfortable, beautifully clean, with a smart bathroom and power shower. I liked the way that we had a phone call from reception after we had checked in, asking if everything was all right with the room (it certainly was). The staff were also very helpful and knowledgeable about the area, offering bus and tube maps, and asking whether we had had a good day.
The location suited us perfectly - just a short walk from the Tate Modern and the Thames. It was easy to walk over the Millennium Bridge and catch buses from there to all the places we wanted to visit. There was a Pret a Manger opposite and a Marks & Spencer Simply Food nearby for those vital snacks! Although we didn't have an evening meal in the hotel (we were out and about, going to musicals etc) breakfast was very good and there was lots of choice. I'd recommend booking a time as it can be quite busy - we did and we never had to wait for a table.
All in all, a really good weekend and we would definitely choose this hotel again.
What's not to like?
It's a chain hotel. It all works well. The fabric, fixtures and fittings are in good order. It has professional (mostly French) staff. . It has comfortable rooms. It's well-located if you want to be South of the river and near the Tate and whatnot. Breakfast was good. They'll do a deal on the room rate which is just as well because the rack rate is, like all London hotels, stratospheric. Happy to go back anytime!
Excellent service
Friendly and highly efficient staff (Kai checked us in and he was very charming and made us feel very welcome).
Brilliant location - 5 mins to Tate Modern and the Thames, 10 mins to Borough Market. Although we chose the location due to attending a family wedding, I'd happily stay again for a leisure break. M&S food store right opposite, excellent selection of bars and cafes within 200 metres. The Table cafe/restaurant right next door to the hotel served excellent value food during the day and is also open in the eveing at weekends.
Room was quite small, but we had a kingsize bed and also they turned the sofa into a 3/4 size bed for our 3 year old, so that took up some space, but we still didn't feel too cramped and could get around the furniture.
Air con wasn't brilliant and was noisy, so the second night we opened the window to get some fresh air, noise from the road wasn;t that bad as it was weekend.
Bathroom was clean and perfectly functional - good selection of free toiletries too.
We didn't use the bar or restaurant at all during our stay, so can't comment on that.
I'd certainly choose to stay here again.
tiny rooms, bad bath design
The only good thing about this hotel besides the friendly staff was the location. Our booking agent told us this was considered a 4-star hotel - it's not. It's more like a 2-star. It also advertised a pool, which is untrue - there a reciprocal agreement with a health club, but it's not on site. The breakfast was inedible, the elevators were not working, and when they were fixed, only fit a max of three people, sans luggage. The rooms are tiny, with single beds. The bathrooms have a screwed up design with a half-glass door and slippery floor mats that are an accident waiting to happen. My girlfriend slipped in the shower and bashed her foot into the faucet. We ended up cutting our trip short because she was in so much pain.
If you stay here, keep your expectations low and enjoy the convenient location instead. if you're just going to sleep there, it's not too bad. Get a cheap rate - otherwise, I wouldn't bother.
