Dissatisfied

Stayed there Sept 14-15, 2009. Chose this hotel for my business trip in London based on location (proximity to meetings) and price relative to that of the surrounding hotels. The staff was coureous and helpful. The reasons that I would not give a high recommendation are: My room was small, smelled of smoke and mold, and was dank. The hotel could very well use a complete makeover; furniture is very old and tired. I was traveling with a colleague and my understanding is that his experience was similarly unsatisfactory. When I plugged in my electric shaver (it wasn't charged) in the mirror socket in the bathroom, it wouldn't hold so I had to press hard and hold the cord into the socket during the entire time I was shaving - which was very inconvenient. As we had a very gruling itinerary, I did not have the time to lodge any complaints. Wish we could get a refund as overall we were not happy with our stay at Club Quarters Gracechurch especially in light of the high price they charge. Bottom line, not a good value.

Outstanding hotel and actually near cool london neighborhoods

I knew when I booked that this hotel was a business hotel. Very clean, goodsized room, businesslike service. but actually loved the area -- very near bridge to south bank -- by the design museum. just east on whitechapel is the whitechapel museum and just north is the very trendy area recently written up in the nw york times -- spittalfields market with great shopping and restaurants. easy access to tube lines. I also loved seeing signature buildings very nearby like the "gherkin" and the lloyds bank with fascinating modern design. wireless is not superfast. but it's free which is a nice thing when a hotel doesnt make it an add-on. very clean. huge tiled shower etc.

Great For Business In The Financial District

This was my second stay at this hotel and I found it even better than the first visit. For those with business in the financial district, the location is great. The rooms, although somewhat Spartan in the decorating are nevertheless comfortable and clean. If you are traveling on vacation and staying over a weekend, you might want to try a different location, as there are no shops or restaurants open in the immediate area. The one caveat would be if you are making the Tower of London a focal point of your visit as it is within a short walking distance. I will stay here again in the future.

Doing business at Lloyd's?

Great room for the price and in the center of the Lloyd's business district. Restaurant and bar are attached but not part of the hotel. Both are good though.

Great Hotel

Definetely would recommend. Just keep in mind that restaurants in the financial district are not open on the weekend.

What a surprise!

I was pleasantly surprised at what I found. I had always stayed at another location of this hotel but had stayed away from the Gracechurch location because I had mistakenly thought that it would not be as nice. I was proved wrong! I was impressed with the seating area in the lobby which was bigger. I also liked the room which was modern and sparkling.Loved the fact that there was distilled water on every floor with bottles to use. The location of the Business Center in the basement made for a more quiet and peaceful use of the computers. All in all, I was delighted with this hotel and would recommend it to anyone.
