The location is lovely as you can walk along the canal. However, the room was very warm with no way to adjust the temperature. A fan was provided at bedside. The toilet was running when I first entered and I couldn’t get it to stop. Front desk clerk was very nice and helped me upstairs with luggage as there is no elevator. The restaurant was too busy for good service. Food was mediocre.

The staff at the Embankment are amazing, friendly and helpful! They made my stay a great experience and would gladly stay with them again. They were so understanding of our emergency, and allowed us a late check out with no hassle. And amazing staff, thank you! The property was extremely well maintained and clean, very cozy and comfortable room. The property has lots of amazing touches that make it comfortable and welcoming. I would definitely recommend a stay.

I stayed 2 nights in the hotel and was joined by family for dinner on the second night. The meal wasn't cheap but it was very good as was the service so worth the money. My room was clean, comfortable and quiet with a lovely modern bathroom and a very good selection of teas and coffees, hot chocolate too and bottled water. I would stay there again but I would ask for a room on the first floor this time because at 71 and with medical issues I found the last flight of stairs exhausting. Overall, lovely hotel in a beautiful location.

We were attending a wedding down the road and decided to stay overnight in your hotel. The room was clean and well stocked with tea and coffee but disappointed that there was not enough milk in the room. What was great was that we had an amazing view of the river from our hotel room. The breakfast was served hot and we got what we ordered. The breakfast was very filling with as much tea and coffee that we could drink. Staff were very friendly and lovely to talk to. Would stay there again.
