Threadneedles, Autograph Collection

Had a great stay. Our room was upgraded to a suite. The front office staff was helpful. The location was perfect for my needs. The restaurant was just so-​so nd was not recommended by the desk staff, but don’t let that put you off there is a Burger & Lobster right across the street.
Beware… it is hard to find – no big sign in front; no place to park; lot of weekday traffic. I would stay there again.

I was a bit let-​down in general by our visit to Threadneedles.
As a five star, I was expecting to feel like I was in a little slice of luxury. Instead, I just felt like I was in an adequate hotel.
Check-​in was smooth, with a lovely person on reception. I liked that you got to sit down to check in and relax for a moment, and of course the beautiful dome and the lovely scented air help the atmosphere!
We had booked a discounted rate through a hotel app but we weren’t treated like it at check-​in. We headed over to the lift — which was quite tiny, if you’re claustrophobic like me — and headed up to the third floor. We got a bit turned around in the spacious corridors and loved the signs at the doors with the lit up room number — until we found ours. We were down a little side corridor that immediately looked like a different place, room 317.
We went in and — meh. The room wasn’t very large, which is fine, but it just wasn’t great. The desk was on the same wall as the bed, so the desk was actually my bed side table — so if my other half wanted to use the desk, he’d be right next to me while I was sleeping. There was no view out the window, but that wasn’t a big problem. The TV seemed pretty small but we managed. The closet door wouldn’t stay shut so the light wouldn’t go off — I eventually rearranged the extra pillows and stuff that were pressing on the door and fixed it. The mini bar set up was impressive but the cupboard it was in wouldn’t shut all the way, either. The biggest let down was the bathroom. The sliding glass door was SO LOUD when it moved and didn’t shut all the way — so all the noises and smells of the bathroom came into the bedroom. Not to mention that a glass door on a bathroom, even when frosted, means light in the room when someone else may be trying to sleep. Our box of tissues in the loo only had 3 tissues in it. The toilet roll holder was falling off the wall. The ‘hot’ on the hot tap was missing. The shower had no grab rail, and the anti-​skid things on the base of the tub didn’t extend to the back of the tub where you get in and out. It was actually quite hard to get out of the shower, as once it was wet it was all very slippery.
Check out was a pain. We had to wait — even though we just wanted an express check out — and when I asked to give my Marriott number, the person at check out was very rude and condescending about our cheap rate and said we wouldn’t get any points — the message wasn’t the problem, but the way it was delivered.
I’m sorry, but a pair of slippers and an overstocked minibar does not a five star hotel make. Had I come expecting a four star, I would have felt better about it all…

The problem with some five hotels is that you go in expecting the Ritz and you actually get a four star with extra toiletries. This was very much the case at Threadneedles.
We got a good deal for a Friday night in the city and were impressed on arrival — the foyer area and the dome are amazing. The check in was quick, polite and easy. Then we entered the room and saw the bathroom… Or rather the bathroom door.
I do not understand why some hotels have a glass wall or door between the bathroom and sleeping area. It means that if one half of a couple uses the bathroom in the night them the bedroom is illuminated. In the case of this hotel, it was a glass door. But it gets worse: you see, the door was designed not to close.
That’s right, it was on a runner which had a stop some five inches from the wall A preventing the door from hitting the wall but also meaning that there is at least a gap big enough to shove your hand through at all times. It’s a massive design flaw because now a couple is forced to listen in complete clarity to their other halves going to the toilet.
That pretty much destroyed the ambience of the hotel for me.

My husband and I chose Threadneedles through the Marriott Rewards Program. I kept comparing several hotels in London with this one. Eventually, the location was the deciding factor as I wanted to take my husband to the London Tower, St. Paul’s Cathedral and other places I have been in my previous visit. All these were within close proximity from the hotel.
We were absolutely thrilled to have chosen Threadneedles. The hotel staff were attentive, courteous and professional. They assisted us with our needs, from providing us umbrellas when we needed it to alerting us when our transportation was on-​site/​available. We also enjoyed having breakfast and dinner at their in-​house Bonds Bar and Restaurant. Rates were reasonable and fair, I must say.
Although the room was smaller than what we expected, its unique layout, furnishings and décor gave it quite a character. Knowing fully well that the hotel used to be a bank, I was quite curious with how it was transformed. The hotel’s lobby is incomparable. I was simply blown away with the dome ceiling. The hotel is elegant but not stuffy at all.

Had a very nice stay in the City at this hotel. I used Marriott Rewards points and they upgraded me to a nice suite which was great. The hotel is nice and historic (old bank building), and the lobby dome is amazing. The front staff were very friendly. The rooms are all unique since they used to be offices, so I could imagine some rooms are tiny. My room was a little quirky with slanted walls following the roof lines, but it gave it some character. The bathroom was normal hotel sized, the only complaint I had here was T=the shower stall is a bathtub shower which only has a glass wall /​shower curtain that covers ¹⁄₃ of the stall so it makes for a challenge of not spraying the rest of the floor, and the glass wall has an opening at the hinge which leaks water on the floor (had to keep a washcloth at that spot to limit the leakage). The hotel has free WiFi throughout which is nice, but it was spotty coverage at times and I had to disconnect/​reconnect many times to get it kickstarted again both on my phone and my computer.
I like that they offer free sparkling or still water delivered to your room each day which is quite nice. And they offer free breakfast for platinum reward members in the hotel restaurant (even on weekends) nice.
The surrounding area sort of closes up at night since it is located in the business/​financial district, so few restaurant choices unless you walk further west. But there a few pubs around the area are quite nice (The Counting House — Fullers Brews on tap… very nice).

We recently used this hotel for a work event and I was very impressed by the beauty and location of the Threadneedles.
Located on Threadneedles — the irony! — right in the heart of the City it’s perfect for business people and City folks.
I was stunned by the beautiful dome ceiling in the lobby bar, it was gorgeous.
The service we received was wonderful and the food and drinks were great too. Would definitely use again and recommend.

Set in a former banking hall, Threadneedles Hotel is absolutely magnificent. It easily has one of the most beautiful lobbies of any hotel, anywhere in the world. Crowned by its stunning domed glass ceiling, the lobby is a perfect blend of old world charm and modern chic, which no picture can possibly do justice.
The old world charm meets modern chic theme is continued throughout the hotel, even the corridors have an unexpected splash of colored lighting, and the Bonds Restaurant & Bar, with its high ceilings and mahogany bar set against stained glass windows, perfectly connects the space’s bank hall past with its luxury hotel present.
The incredibly comfortable rooms have an understated elegance to them and offer every modern convenience a guest could need (Wi-​Fi, cable television, coffee maker, etc.) and more (bathroom television). Coupled with the dreadful London weather, the cozy room almost kept this traveler from doing any actual sight seeing.
The staff is very professional, courteous and attentive. Everything I needed, from restaurant recommendations and reservations to West End theater tickets was handled with impressive efficiency. Complimentary bottled water was automatically brought to my room throughout the day, and the only Spanish speaking person I encountered in the whole of London worked at the hotel’s front desk.
I will however caution travelers on a budget. While a stay at the Threadneedles Hotel is worth every cent, it is also worth a lot of cents.

We got a fab deal at this hotel our deluxe room was £150 (usually £400) im not sure i would pay £400 but for £150 it was a fantastic stay.
Located near Bank station its perfect for the city area and right near tube station and bus stops.
The hotel is rated as 5 star i feel its more a good 4 star but thats not a complaint. its because there is no stuffiness to the place at all.
The rooms are well decrated and all have a large bath with a tv in the bathroom the mini bar etc is well stocked and the bed very comfortable. The room was very very cold and thats my only complaint as the windows are old and not double glazed. The resturant adjoined to the hotel is Bonds and islovely but a little pricey even for breakfast, cocktails in the bar will cost £30 for a couple with service charge so the prices are 5 star atleast. In th foyer is the famous dome ceiling and sitting under this with a glass of wine is lovely the hotel is very relaxed and welcoming with great staff so I would certainly return.

I got to stay here for free!!! But, yes I hear it’s expensive. The Threadneedles Hotel was an old bank if I remember correctly. (glasses) The dome ceiling is amazing and the rooms were beautiful. The bathroom was sooo nice. There was a TV in the bathroom which made bringing a book to the bathroom pointless. I got to watch music videos while showering. (I don’t get out much) I could have spent days in the room watching rugby, the news and the discovery channel. The restaurant in the hotel was really good. Just a note… ask for extra syrup if you order the «American breakfast» which is waffles and bacon with a thimble of syrup. My favorite part about the Threadneedles Hotel was Ben. He was so helpful and I will never forget it!

An American Unilocaling in London? That’s me.
Anyway, I loved my stay at the threadneedles. The Lobby honor bar is something else. The Lobby is gorgeous. The staff is courteous and the room was comfortable. I’d be sore if I wasn’t travelling for business, as it was eye-​wateringly expensive, so I guess it should have been nice.
The restaurant is ecxellent as well. If you’re staying here. have the Bonds bacon sandwich at least once. I still dream about that thing.

I’m still a budget conscious traveler, so the only way I’ll make it back here is if its on a business trip again. For, for a business trip hotel, I’m quite please. Good service, clean, elegant rooms. Some might say the rooms are a bit small, but I was pleased.
