What you would expect from a pub
Staff seemed exhausted and every time I needed something they took a bit of time getting to me. Once they did, they were friendly and helpful. Room was clean, but the bathroom left a lot to be desired. The toilet had brown stains at the bottom of the bowl and there were questionable deposits around the bottom of the shower. The room was very warm and the windows could not be opened. I commented that my room was hot and I was told it was an old building. A fan was provided, but leaving it on all night did create a fair bit of noise. However, the bed was comfortable and the tea and coffee provided were good. The food in the restaurant was good, and a walk along the river in the evening was pleasant. So overall, not bad for a room in pub.

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.
