Gayle, Mar 2026
Room had a fantastic view of the Thames. I was there for 2 nights and hated to leave room. Room was clean but housekeeping didn't really resupply used items - no new face cloths, dirty glasses left and not replaced. Also, no tea kettle. Hot water in bathroom sink erratic. However, the view made up for everything.

Pros (+) We spent 6 nights at the Mondrian with our older kids. The hotel has a great location near the best sights. Great waterfront views. We had drinks at the bars that have great cocktails and views. The rooms very modern with good quality sheets. My kids loves that their was a movie theatre in the hotel. Highly recommend!!

Pros (+) Outstanding hotel in London. Service, room, amenities, restaurants and bars were all excellent. Beautiful view of the Thames. I will definitely stay here on my next trip to London. I can't say enough about our experience at the Mondrian.
Cons (-) The only disappointment was one of the concierges seemed inexperienced. She booked us at a very mediocre tea service at a restaurant in London.
