Marriott County Hall Hotel

My friend and I stayed for one night over Thanksgiving weekend (Nov 2004). This was our first trip to London. The location is absolutely unbeatable with a tube stop and several tourist destinations in such close proximity. The hotel staff was so hospitable and generous. The decor in the rooms was "old english country", if you will, which some people might enjoy - if your tastes are much more modern then the room environment might not be for you. The tea service in the room was excellent. The only annoying thing was walking across... more

Actual hotel stay was fine - I was in London on business. Due to late booking, I suppose, I was relegated to a room on the second floor that had a excellent view of the backside of an ornamental statue. I requested a room change on the day suggested by the receptionist but no room was available. If only I could post a picture for you to see... My recommendation: make sure you request a river view or confirm that the view on the "jubilee gardens" is unobstructed.

This is the best hotel we have stayed in the UK. Obviously the location is second to none with views of river Big Ben and London Eye. The staff are extremely welcoming and friendly and genuinely seem pleased to greet you and ensure your stay is as pleasant as possible. Hotel is very well maintained, rooms large and facilities spotless. Super pool, large and quiet when we were there. Difficult to say which is better the quality of staff or location; whichever I would not think of booking an alternative when in London

I have written a number of reports for tripadvisor and most in anger! This one however is going to be pleasant. Whether you're a tourist staying for a longer time or a native visiting our keepers capital this is a great hotel. Its good for views at night time and daytime, good for all of London's attractions, most of which can be walked to. It has car parking (£25, or £35 for valet, per day that is) but is inside the congestion charging zone charged at £5 per day. Though most of the staff are not English (Something i despise and resent is... more

My husband and I spent 6 amazing nights at the London County Hall Marriott. We used marriott points to pay for the hotel. We were pleasantly surprised that we were upgraded to a river view without asking and Yes, we did have concierge access! The concierge suite was adequate. We did get our bottled water, soda, continental breakfasts and appetizers(if we were in the hotel) daily. At london prices and with the exchange rate, that saved us a nice amount of money. Our view from our hotel room was obstructed by the ugly London eye,... more

Stayed Sept 6 - Sept 11 2004. Second stay. Hotel is very nice and clean, as expected from Marriott. Rooms are average sized and clean -- the location is the $$ of this property - right across Westminster Bridge from Parliment Square and next to the London Eye. High speed internet STSN in every room. Room service good. Lap pool and work-out room available. Good to great staff service. I guess I am rating this *** due to its average rooms for the price (everything is $300+) -- some have views of Big Ben, others nothing. Lobby and... more

Myself and two friends stayed here on 4th/5th September as we were celebrating two BIG birthdays! I had booked the room online with Marriott Hotels in April originally and it was secured against a credit card. I had asked for a high room with River Thames views which proved to be awesome! The view at night was absolutely spectacular! We were given a sixth floor room with a balcony. We actually spent quite some time sitting on the balcony waving to the people in the PODS of the London Eye! The location is just brilliant! Room... more

I stayed four nights at the Marriott County Hall from 09/02/04 through Labor Day. The location can't be beat - just across the Thames from all of central London's attractions. I never used the Tube or a taxi - I walked as far as Kensington Gardens. The staff was supremely professional at all times, courteous, always offering a cheerful hello. My room had a lovely side view of the Thames & the London Wheel as well as the Jubilee Gardens though I had booked through Priceline. The room itself was tastefully decorated and quite comfortable,... more

This was the first stop on a 2 week trip in Europe and the location can't be beat for first timers. We could see Big Ben out the window (we spent 25 GBP to upgrade to a river view) and the London Eye was right there too! Being right on the Thames is great (although you can't get a nonsmoking room with a balcony). The tour buses stop right in front of the hotel and the river cruises leave from right near the hotel! The pancake stand by the river is great! A nice, classy hotel in a great location!

Really liked the hotel - the rooms were huge. Stayed there on Marriott points, so it cost an extra 40 pounds / night to upgrade to a river view with access to the exec lounge (free evening cocktails and breakfast). Decided that it wasn't really worth the extra money, so I downgraded to a regular room. It was further from the elevator (FYI - there's only one set of elevators, so if you're in room 401, you're at the far end), but it was just as nice if not nicer, and still had a good view. The staff was very nice all around. Great location as... more
