We recently stayed at Bermonds Locke near Tower Bridge in London for six days and nights. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with a few noteworthy highlights and minor drawbacks.
Firstly, the room itself was a delight. It was hip, colorful, and well-designed, making our stay visually pleasing and comfortable. The bed was especially nice and comfortable, ensuring we got good rest each night. One of the major conveniences was the in-unit laundry machine, which made managing our clothes during the stay incredibly easy. However, I did miss having a microwave in the room. Instead, there was an oven and a nicely hidden fridge, which worked well but required a bit of adjustment.
Upon check-in, we were informed that there was no daily cleaning service provided, which was fine initially. However, midway through our stay, I requested a room reset/cleaning and was surprised to learn that it would cost 40 pounds since our stay was shorter than a week. This policy was quite unexpected and threw me off a bit.
Despite this, the staff at Bermonds Locke were consistently nice and friendly. Each time we passed by them in the lobby, they greeted us warmly and were always helpful with any questions we had.
All to say, Bermonds Locke is a great place to stay if you appreciate modern, stylish accommodations with convenient amenities like an in-unit laundry machine and located in a very charming borough - the bus stop was right in front of the hotel by the way! Just be aware of the cleaning policy if you're staying for less than a week. The friendly staff and overall comfort make it a worthy choice for a visit to London. read more
