The pool associated with the London Marriott Maida Vale has left varying impressions among its guests. One of the key takeaways is that the pool is not located within the hotel itself but rather in a nearby health club, approximately a three-minute walk away. This arrangement means that access to the pool is subject to the health club's membership rules and children are only allowed to use the pool until 6pm.
While some reviews highlighted the enjoyment of the pool facilities, particularly noting the presence of a sauna, steam room and a 15-meter pool, others pointed out significant drawbacks. Issues such as limited hours, poor maintenance and cleanliness were commonly mentioned with remarks describing the water quality as subpar and the environment as worn and dark.
The fact that the pool is shared with a neighboring building and is not automatically included in the stay's price further added to some guests' dissatisfaction. Though the outdoor and offsite location of the pool was a frustration for some, there were positive notes about the offerings when it comes to the facilities for children, indicating that kids seemed to enjoy their time there.
Overall, while the pool might add some value for those who prioritize having access to such amenities, the distance from the main hotel and concerns over cleanliness mean it may not meet everyone's expectations.
