Brentwood Shopping Hotels

"The first impression of the hotel is not very favourable at the moment (February 2025); the main entrance is under renovation so entry happens through a narrow stairway with two-way traffic (that is often ignored by other guests). It feels like entering a casino through a back door. I'm sure things will be improved once the main entrance renovations are completed. I was a bit nervous about the elevator situation due to complaints in previous reviews, but I had no problems at all in that regard. The Executive King room was spacious, clean and pleasant. No complaints whatsoever. The water pressure in the shower was adequate and the water was very hot. The complimentary snacks were a nice touch. The breakfast was odd. Very poor selection if you need protein in the morning! There were scrambled eggs but no bacon, sausages or beans. The rest was mostly baked goods. We ended up skipping the breakfast after the first day, even though it was included in the Executive room rate. As others have mentioned, the hotel seems to be very popular with Middle Eastern guests, which perhaps explains the lack of pork options at breakfast. All of the signs are in English and Arabic. The service was just "fine"/average. Nothing up, nothing down. I'm a bit surprised by the glowing reviews naming specific staff members, as none provided us with exceptional service. There was no bellhop service offered. Due to the pleasant room and great location of the hotel, I would be happy to return."

"Breakfast and dinnner were excellent. "

"Nice location with view to the Thames. In bath room there should be more hooks for towels."
