Shared space building with communal working areas and office spaces make it a weird set up. Lighting in the room was very dim and made it difficult to do things like shave in the bathroom using the mirror. Bed was comfy and breakfast good. Better places to stay in the area tbh.

The staff were incredible and honestly made me feel so welcome. Considering the price, i was a little disappointed, the room had a really bad smell and there was mould growing in the bathroom (particularly on the ceiling and around extractor fan) which was concerning. The location is awesome! Overall a lovely property but the room may need a little TLC.

I loved The Foundry Hotel! My husband and decided to have a little mini-holiday and love the decor and space. Sadly, a flood in the middle of the night, meant we had to change rooms at 1 am (suitcases open, etc etc). The staff was great about it (and the night receptionist gave us a nice bottle of white wine to say thank you for our understanding), but I haven't heard anything from management about compensating us in any way (although I did ask).

I love the repurposing of old buildings, and The Old Foundry has done this with great practical and aesthetic execution. The room was small, but we knew this when we booked. It had all the amenities we needed, including Africology products in the bathroom. The breakfast was excellent and the staff friendly, helpful and responsive to every need.

Fantastic concept, facility and ideal location close to the Waterfront. Only concern is walking out the main gate to the Waterfront, especially at night. Hotel needs to come up with a plan to make safe walking access viable, it shouldn't be difficult. If they get that right, it's a serious winner!

Looks great but not a good idea to stay there

Upon arrival. The receptionist did not say welcome. Just gave me the key and sent a cleaner to show me the room. I have a bad back and asked for the elevator and was told they don’t have it. I asked the cleaner about info and she just left. Went back to the receptionist and said that he neglected to give me information. He told me all I need to know is in writing in the room. I asked him to tell me verbally about wifi and breakfast times. He told me that breakfast is not included. I’m a gold member and my booking clearly said that breakfast was included. The heating did not work properly and the room was freezing. They sent the maintenance guy three times and he was just making it worse. Finally they gave me a small portable heater big enough to heat a small car. Not a presidential room with tall ceilings. I had work to do but the lighting in the room was very dim. The presidential room comes with a bath tub. But I was told by the cleaners not to use it because the water will flood the room. The staff knew I was unhappy and they did not make any attempt whatsoever to apologize or make it up to me. I stay in hotels a lot and this is by far my worst experience. I will not return nor recommend this hotel to anyone.

The hotel has 2 potential access points: 1 through a gate directly to entrance steps, another through a carpark round the side. The second access is used after 7pm when the gate is locked. Neither suitable for limited mobility needs & difficult for large suitcases. Walkable to V&A in daylight: Uber back. Check-in fine. The feel of the place is odd. No lift so had to carry heavy suitcase up & down stairs. Emily, only member of staff I came across on arrival, offered to help. Initially put in room 1 having booked a luxury room. Room included a kitchenette but was minimally kitted out. Basic bathroom. Safe did not open. Main door did not actually lock: card mechanism on the door did not work so supplied with a key to the deadbolt: this had been fitted with a Yale lock haphazardly & a good tug from inside/shove from outside opened the door easily. NOT SUITABLE FOR A LONE FEMALE TRAVELLER. Moved to another room very swiftly (#13) This was a downgrade to a smaller room (the basic “deluxe”, no kitchenette) but was not disclosed. This did lock with a keycard, safe also worked. It was along a corridor with steps & narrow points. Loud noise when using the bathroom due to water mechanism. Tap dripped, shower leaked, multiple light bulbs out. Smelled damp/sewage. Very dark decor. Breakfast: chose from a sticky laminated menu (included but told would be charged extra for bacon). Audio of Harry Potter playing loudly upstairs lobby late at night. Bed soft/pillows lumpy. Cannot recommend.

Not advisable to stay here

There is a homeless camp apposite the hotel, the people from there would approach and badger us. Made us feel very scared. Hotel states they have a lift, but technicall that is not true, there is no lift in the lobby. One must leave the hotel, walk around it and enter the adjacent building and ask them to open their lift for you which then does stop on some hotel floors. We booked a room with kitchen, but there was zero kitchen equipment. Reception said they will lend us some one request. No support offered by the hotel or the Hotels.com team, only a £10 voucher as a goodwill gesture for the trauma.

They let you know that the toilet is on a weird pump system. They don’t explain that it will make noise for a solid 5 minutes. This also means all other toilets in surrounding rooms also will make noise. The walls are incredibly thin. The lights were confusing. Couldn’t be shut off from a wall switch. It’s close to being a cool experience but i don’t recommend and would not stay there again.

Bra hotell, med förbättringspotential

Trevligt hotell med gångpromenad till Waterfront. Bra frukost som man fick beställa i cafét i samma byggnad. Sköna sängar. Lite högljudda toaletter samt några obehöriga kryp inne på toaletten. Något krångligt att ta sig in kvällstid då grindar var låsta och man behövde gå genom ett garage och det inte fanns lampor vid entré och parkering. Också lite otäckt med uteliggare precis utanför, framförallt kvällstid. Men totalt sett ett bra hotell!
