Staff were very friendly and helpful. Hotel was beautifully decorated and very clean. Bed was comfortable and room was very big with sitting area and dining table. Close to V&A area, short Uber trip. Few negatives were tv crooked on wall, no bowls and only1 spoon in the kitchen. Beautiful copper bath but able to see into shower and toilet from sitting area and no way to make private. No hot water in kitchen sink.

Eclectic industrial with friendly staff

Hotel has industrial and unique interior design. Don’t expect flash. Do expect wonderfully friendly staff and eclectic feel. We were scammed by the airport taxi so be aware to get a taxi taxi. Not people who say they are. The receptionist staff were very helpful with this towards our credit card. Especially Azola. Breakfast was great too. Thank you.

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.

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.

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.

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).
