Latest 5 reviews of London Marriott Hotel - County Hall
great hotel, great location
This is the second time I've stayed in this wonderful hotel (stayed there previously in August 2004), and it's gotten even better -- renovated since I'd been there. Tour books such as Frommers overlook this one (I guess because it is part of a chain?), but you can't beat it for location if you want to see the sights of London. The hotel is on the bank of the Thames and just across the Westminster Bridge. You can see Big Ben from the hotel. It's about a block from the Westminster tube. Westminster Abbey and Buckingham palace are a short walk away. The Dali Museum, Marine Science Museum, and a McDonalds (handy if you have kids) are in the same building as the Marriott, which was formerly a government building. Wonderful architecture. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Do not know cost as I stayed with Marriott points.

Fantastic Stay
We stayed in this hotel for one night in Nov 2008. The location of this hotel is fantastic. We had a room facing the Thames with views of the Houses of Parliment and London Eye.
The room itself was a really good size, clean with a nice sized bathroom and mini-bar.
The bar is really nice in the hotel again with great views and friendly staff. You can have breakfast in the same area but it is expensive for what it is (>L20). We had it included as part of our room rate but I wouldn't bother personally.
Overall, the location of this hotel is great with stunning views.... loved it.

County Hall - Great destination!
County Hall was a great experience for us. Our room overlooked the Houses of Parliament to one side and the London Eye to the other. The room was larger than average and easily accomodated my husband, 2 kids and I. The location was just great for sightseeing and it was such a great view! Also, walking around the hotel was fascinating. It was previously the headquarters for Greater London Council so has a full history. There are cheaper places to stay but we really enjoyed our stay here. Only complaint was a long check-out.

Rodents and swimming pool adventure
I think I must have stayed in a different hotel to most people who seem to have reviewed County Hall. Yes, the location is fantastic with awesome views of big ben or the London Eye but that said it is by far a perfect hotel.
My main two gripes are:
1. Whist trying to get to sleep on the first night I heard strange scratching noises. I thought nothing of it. The next morning I noticed there were mice/rat droppings all over the bathroom floor. Fortunately I was given a new room and I slept rodent free the next night.
2. I think I walked about an extra three of four miles the day I tried to use the swimming pool. It was the most complicated puzzle I have ever had to undertake involving various codes on little pieces of paper, key cards and floor changes. It took me about 30 minutes to get from my room to the pool. Oh, and be careful not to lose, or get wet your little piece of paper with the door code on it otherwise you might end up stuck in the main hotel corridor soaking wet in your swimming costume.

Marriott London County Hall
The County Hall is across The Thames from where most tourists want to be. The walk isn't bad if it isn't raining; however, it rained the entire week we were there in July. This hotel is most definitely a business hotel making it feel deserted and unwelcoming during the day. The concierge was from Brazil and knew nothing about navigating London, nor could he give any restaurant suggestions. Our room was without air conditioning for two nights (a primary reason I booked Marriott). We had alerted the staff to this fact, and they said it would be fixed while we were out to dinner. Upon our return the air was not only not fixed, but they left a broken fan in our room as compensation. We decided to tough it out and went to sleep. At 2:00 I woke up in a sweat and went to talk to the night manager who was surly at best. We were finally switched on the third day. All in all this was a very disappointing hotel. I wouldn't go to London again if this was the only hotel available.
