Hotel's Favorite
Our 1st stay there. Despite of some small shortages – I would not reduce 20% of points in the 5-stage scale thus happy to give 5. Ready to stay there again. Location: a good location with a view and ca 10min walk to Westminster. Vauxhall Underground station is ca 5min walk (NB! Google maps gives bus no.77 the most comfortable way to reach the hotel but Underground is more comfortable according to my opinion). Some small shops nearby and also The Rose Pub that I really recommend. Personnel: professional and friendly. Obviously after C19 it takes a bit time to organize the working processes with the new stuff to the highest level. For example I asked an extra blanket and heater from the reception. The reception lady finally found a piece of paper to write it down but after 2 hours there was nothing so I called from the room. Then we got the heater but no blanket. Finally we got the blanket also. Also there was a kind of confusion with heating. We had 2 rooms and it worked in 1 room only. The FM-guy told the summer season started and it should not work there neither. In the lobby we were told that heating should work. Anyway – we got a heater and it helped. Breakfast: on the 1st floor (and also on the 12th floor’s executive lounge with a great view. I do not know why we were offered one breakfast there but we are grateful for that). Good selection, very tasty. Specially I would like to mention about bacon – it was tasty and juicy, not overcooked like in many cases. Also fruits were very tasty (so juicy and sweet plums were a real surprise!). Also a coffee was very good! Room: big (incl for morning exercises), clean, comfortable (incl for office work). Free&fast internet. Night-curtains (with remote closing-opening). A fridge for beverages. Bathroom: big, clean, well equipped. A basin’s sidetable – there was even more free place after my wife unpacked her cosmetics. A bath. Shower enclosure with a thermostatic mixer and surprisingly strong water pressure. Just a toilet brush was missing. Sleep: one of the most comfotable beds and pillows I have ever had in hotels. Specially I would like to say good about the pillow. Spa: a swimming pool with some sunbeds, steam sauna, Finnish sauna. Lockers for your belongings. One evening Finnish sauna was ca 90C, then next evening for some reason just 50-60C (seemed to be turned off but actually it was just at ca 19.00). Towels and drinking water available. Gym: a well-equipped hotel-gym. Some gym mats would be good to have also (probably removed due to C19). Drinking water and lockers available.…

Dissapointed with our stay as had booked a superior room off the back of the description on the website which stated that a key feature was having a bath in the room, We did not (presumably because they put us in an accessible room for some reason) and when we pointed out that the room had been mis-sold reception advised that the bath was an optional feature and I had not requested it. unbelievable!!

Loved this hotel. The staff were super friendly and the location was easy access to everything. Wonderful breakfast. Lots of restaurants and delis close by if you needed anything. I would definitely stay there again. Try and get a room on the higher floors. They have been renovated.

I was treated to a night at Park Plaza Rivebank and was so amazed by what a lovely hotel it is and the guest experience to go with it. From our check in to our check out all the staff were attentive and friendly. I arrived melting from my commute to the hotel to be welcomed by a big smile, a glass of iced water and to top it off a little tub of ice cream to cool down - what a nice touch; can't say I know any other hotels offer that! Room was very stylish, modern and very clean. Everything in the room was thought out well. The breakfast in the morning was a great spread from Continental items to English breakfast hot items. We had breakfast whilst watching the boats go by on the Thames can't think of any other way better to start the day This is now definately my favourite hotel in London to stay in as when you find somewhere that the staff go that extra mile along with the high standard I'll definately be back sooner than later!…

Location was amazing. Check in wasnt a great experience. Room was nice, bath robes missing. Sauna/pool was nice but steam was not working. Room service (breakfast) was cold and they didnt have everything on the menu. Given the price i'd expect more.

Decided a short break away in London was long overdue and found this absolutely ideal hotel. It’s based in a great location on the banks on the River Thames only a few minutes walk from Vauxhall. I’ve seen a few reviews mention it’s a bad location but have to disagree. We arrived by tube at Vauxhall so only 5 minutes walk along the Thames. During our stay we also took the Uber River taxi (opposite side of Thames to hotel at Millbank Tower) down the Thames and had the benefit of catching the 77 Bus back to the hotel that stops right outside the hotel. The hotel itself is very clean and modern and the staff were very attentive and super friendly, which working in hospitality myself I always critique but top marks for this hotel. Bradley at Concierge gave us lots of ideas and advice of what to do during our stay – super knowledgeable. Definately felt all staff went above and beyond during our stay - made it feel like a home from home! The room itself was wonderful, very large and bright (Have stayed in some broom cupboards in London) had all the modern amenities you’d expect of a hotel of this standard and air conditioning which made the room very comfortable to stay in at this time of year. Room even had a separate bath tub and walk-in shower that made it feel extra luxurious. We didn’t have an opportunity to experience the Spa facilities but definitely will when we return here. We were unsure what to do for Friday night for dinner and decided to eat in their restaurant on the 1st floor Chino Latino. What a hidden gem of a restaurant; serving what only I could describe as a mixture of East meets West cuisine. If like us you are unsure where to go recommend you give it a try, don’t think you would be disappointed. Best Sushi I’ve ever had and the steak on the hot rocks was amazing. This was all topped off with some amazing live entertainment, which added to the great experience had! All in all I’m definitely coming back to this hotel and have already recommended to all my friends and family. Can’t wait to come back here and thank you to all the staff for making our stay so memorable.…

Stayed as a party of 5, 3 adults and 2 children, over 2 rooms. Room 1 was a superior twin room, room 2 was a 1 Bedroom suite. Both on the 6th floor. Room 1 (628) had an internal view of an opposite apartment block so no view as such but was absolutely beautifully decorated with a control panel to operate the lights, air con, curtains etc. This room wasn't serviced at all during our 4 night stay despite being advised it would be after day 3. Anytime they needed towels etc we contacted reception. The mini fridge was broken throughout our entire stay, not ideal when London is experiencing a heatwave. It was initially reported and we were told it had been fixed, but this was not the case. Further advised reception and various members of staff were sent to fix but it wasn't rectified for our entire stay. The one bedroom suite (657) had a beautiful view of the Thames. The kitchenette comprised of a microwave, toaster, fridge with small freezer section, 2 hobs, kettle, coffee machine and a washing machine. Control panels for sir con, lights, curtains etc were fantastic. Room was beautiful and very comfortable. On arrival there were balloons and a small cake in our room for my little girls birthday which was such a lovely gesture and much appreciated. Breakfast was plentiful with cooked and continental options. Staff extremely helpful. Bar area was very relaxing and the bar man was very helpful and polite. With a view of Westminster. This hotel is in an excellent location on the Riverbank. Turn right and a short walk will take you to the London Eye, London Dungeons etc. The docks for the Thames River Cruise is also here. Turn left and a short walk will take you to Vauxhall tube and train station. There Is also a small Tesco extra about 500 yards from the hotel. We had a fantastic stay and wouldn't hesitate to return. …
