After a slightly delayed KLM Cityhopper flight into Heathrow Terminal 4 on a chilly February evening, I made my way to the Novotel London Wembley. Despite the 60-minute journey on the Underground (thankfully with just one change), I was excited to explore this highly-rated Wembley hotel.

Novotel London Wembley Review: First Impressions

Escaping the bitter winter wind, I entered a bustling lobby filled with the cheerful chaos of a school group. Despite the crowd, check-in was swift and efficient. The duty manager handled everything professionally, though my hopeful request for an upgrade (a perk sometimes available with Accor ALL Silver status) couldn’t be accommodated due to high occupancy.
