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 looking forward to exploring this popular Wembley property.

Novotel London Wembley – 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 (an occasional perk with Accor ALL Silver status) couldn’t be accommodated due to high occupancy.

Novotel London Wembley: Rooms

My Superior Room on the fourth floor proved to be thoughtfully designed. A practical entrance hallway led to a well-proportioned bedroom, featuring:

• A comfortable queen-size bed
• Spacious work desk with an excellent ergonomic chair
• Cosy armchair with footstool
• Ample storage space

The bathroom was quite spacious, bucking the trend of sacrificing bathroom space for bedroom square footage. While the walk-in shower lacked a rain shower head, the Rituals amenities are decent.

Local Dining Tip

While the hotel restaurant serves decent meals, I discovered a gem just a short walk away. BOXPARK Wembley offers an exciting array of dining options – I particularly recommend the Greek wraps from Smashing Plates!

Accor ALL Benefits

Unfortunately, I was not able to convert my Silver status to Gold status last year. But even though Silver status may not be that impressive, there are a number of benefits that I received with this stay. 

• Voucher for a welcome drink in the ALL app
• Late checkout
• Earning Status and Reward Points
• Elite bonus of 24% on the number of Reward points earned

With this stay I earned 4 status nights and 1,061 Status points. In addition, I received 1,061 Reward points and also a Silver bonus of 255 points. Because I did not have my room cleaned every day, I also received 300 extra points. In total, this stay yielded 1,616 Reward points.
