They let you know that the toilet is on a weird pump system. They don’t explain that it will make noise for a solid 5 minutes. This also means all other toilets in surrounding rooms also will make noise. The walls are incredibly thin. The lights were confusing. Couldn’t be shut off from a wall switch. It’s close to being a cool experience but i don’t recommend and would not stay there again.

Shared space building with communal working areas and office spaces make it a weird set up. Lighting in the room was very dim and made it difficult to do things like shave in the bathroom using the mirror. Bed was comfy and breakfast good. Better places to stay in the area tbh.

The staff were incredible and honestly made me feel so welcome. Considering the price, i was a little disappointed, the room had a really bad smell and there was mould growing in the bathroom (particularly on the ceiling and around extractor fan) which was concerning. The location is awesome! Overall a lovely property but the room may need a little TLC.

I loved The Foundry Hotel! My husband and decided to have a little mini-holiday and love the decor and space. Sadly, a flood in the middle of the night, meant we had to change rooms at 1 am (suitcases open, etc etc). The staff was great about it (and the night receptionist gave us a nice bottle of white wine to say thank you for our understanding), but I haven't heard anything from management about compensating us in any way (although I did ask).

The hotel has 2 potential access points: 1 through a gate directly to entrance steps, another through a carpark round the side. The second access is used after 7pm when the gate is locked. Neither suitable for limited mobility needs & difficult for large suitcases. Walkable to V&A in daylight: Uber back. Check-in fine. The feel of the place is odd. No lift so had to carry heavy suitcase up & down stairs. Emily, only member of staff I came across on arrival, offered to help. Initially put in room 1 having booked a luxury room. Room included a kitchenette but was minimally kitted out. Basic bathroom. Safe did not open. Main door did not actually lock: card mechanism on the door did not work so supplied with a key to the deadbolt: this had been fitted with a Yale lock haphazardly & a good tug from inside/shove from outside opened the door easily. NOT SUITABLE FOR A LONE FEMALE TRAVELLER. Moved to another room very swiftly (#13) This was a downgrade to a smaller room (the basic “deluxe”, no kitchenette) but was not disclosed. This did lock with a keycard, safe also worked. It was along a corridor with steps & narrow points. Loud noise when using the bathroom due to water mechanism. Tap dripped, shower leaked, multiple light bulbs out. Smelled damp/sewage. Very dark decor. Breakfast: chose from a sticky laminated menu (included but told would be charged extra for bacon). Audio of Harry Potter playing loudly upstairs lobby late at night. Bed soft/pillows lumpy. Cannot recommend.

This is one of the most unique hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The hotel is part of a larger complex that has repurposed an old foundry into an ultra modern compound. Very cool space.

Good location/value for money

Staff were helpful and friendly. Hotel is shared with hot office spaces so different from what you may be used to, but not to the detriment of our stay. Just a little quirky. Good location within walking distance of V&A waterfront although recommended to travel by uber / taxi after dark. Overall a good base for our weeks stay and good value compared to other hotels we had looked at. Lots of security personnel around the area which may make you feel nervous or reassured. We felt quite safe from our experience.
