Top 10 Barking Frog Hotels

The service of the hotel is very good, but the facilities are a bit old. It is very close to the financial center and a few hundred meters away. Generally speaking, it is definitely not as convenient as staying in the city center, but at this price in London, the price/performance ratio is not bad

The hygiene and environment are good, and it's very convenient to go out to eat. Walking across the bridge, there are too many shops and restaurants. It would be great if the price is right!

Having seen the hotel from outside whilst visiting excel 2 years back, had always dreamt of staying here , was like a bucket list.so had managed to book it like 6 months back as a surprise for my husband on his birthday. Walking towards it on the bridge, the hotel looked so elegant and we were so excited but all of it sort of vanished once we entered the hotel and reached the reception at 3:15 pm to join a long queue for check in! Definitely not a five star welcome. Another family complained that there were glasses there buy no water!! Obviously needed some after an half an hr wait in the queue! I had booked the executive River View and was on the 5th floor where you need a key to enter. It took us more then 10 mina to open this lock!! It said wait for 6 secs before you take the key out but apparently you needed to swipe the key .even the receptionist told us to be patient. Finally another staff came and said you don't need to wait just jerk it out!! Anyway we finally gor ro our room at 4 . the photos of the rooms are deceiving on their website as it shows a bath tub which we were looking forward to but there was a small shower instead!! After flushing the toilet there was a terrible stench and the smell which didnt go. Another thing we were looking forward to was sitting in the lobby and enjoying the river view however the balcony metal is so high that if you are sitting you can't see the view so Another disappointment. Then we visited the overpriced bar which was OK. Next day we went for oir breakfast where a rather unfriendly guy welcomed us and have us a list where we needed to tick only 1 thing!! How luxurious! And weren't even told that we can get a cappuccino. And we were told unlimited buffet which includes toast crossaint and cereal and yogurt..seriously! Even holiday Inn has better breakfast. So basically my expectations were quite high considering the price I had paid but all shattered to pieces..laughed at myself. Really this was on my bucket list !!!
