I stayed in this hotel for 2 nights as a birthday surprise for my partner. I was in contact with Natalij from this hotel for a month before near enough everyday and from start to finish they have been outstanding, the service has been amazing, helping me make this special for my partner. They decorated my room for my partners birthday surprise & she was absolutely over the moon with the result & so was I, It was perfect. I booked the riverbank hotel view room it was beautiful and made the stay even more special. The location was great, it was a walkable distance to the main tourist attractions and all the food markets, pubs & restaurants.Breakfast was a good start to the day with a decent variety of food. All the staff were friendly & helpful, very pleased with my stay & so was my partner, we will definitely be visiting again.However I have to be honest or this wouldn’t be a honest review, only fault I had was we ordered room service at in the evening at around 9:30 (room service and food is 24 hours) because we didn’t want to go out & get food, the food looked really good & there was a decent variety to choose from, however the food was cold when delivered which we cannot understand why, this may have been a one time incident so we don’t want to put this hotel down because of it, as overall it was outstanding.Thank you,Alfie

Our waitress Maria was beyond wonderful and made our whole experience. We will definitely be returning especially if she serves us again. My partner and I loved the live music and birthday celebrations. The food was amazing especially the dessert platter and sirloin steak. Amazing food, Staff and ambience.

I recently stayed at the Park Plaza Riverbank and had a mixed experience. While the hotel staff, particularly Taras at the reception, provided exceptional service, going above and beyond by upgrading our room, there were some drawbacks as well.The shuttle service offered is decent but could improve, as I found the pricing to be a bit high for the convenience provided. Housekeeping was another area that fell short, as our room wasn't as clean as I would have liked, earning only a 5/10 in that regard.On the positive side, the service throughout the hotel was consistently good, and I thoroughly enjoyed the spa pool and sauna—they were truly amazing. The location is also quite favorable, rating an 8/10 for its accessibility to key attractions. Overall, while there were some issues, the friendly staff and excellent amenities made our stay enjoyable.

Great restaurant and fantastic service. The food is great and staff are lovely however the hotel side is disappointing. I stayed here for my anniversary and I’m thankful to Annelke who was lovely on the reception team on check in.I was looking forward to the spa and swimming. However I was extremely disappointed with the lack of service. Despite requesting slippers and robes multiple times, they were never provided. What made it worse was seeing other guests receive these items without any issue.I was informed by the reception team guest services and concierge when I called that these are not provided following a new policy. I was not aware of this otherwise I would have come prepared. I even offered to pay for these and I was recommended to go down to the local grocery store who would not have these items in stock.Upon checkout I was informed these items are provided but it was too late and I had to walk down to the swimming pool area in boots and a coat and after swimming it’s not ideal to wear these. This lack of responsiveness and attention to guest needs really detracted from what should have been a pleasant stay. Not the level of service I expected and payed for. Highly disappointed and ruined the special weekend we had planned.

Location is great. Very near the tube station. This hotel looked so luxurious at first glance. Coming into the foyer, there were so many staff trying to help you out because the hotel is massive and there are usually so many functions on at the same time. The meeting rooms are on the ground floor and in the basement. The breakfast was chaotic to start with as so many people and not enough space with no directions as to where things were. Once you finally got to seat down, the food was delicious. The rooms were great, all remotely controlled by the pads beside the bed. The bathroom was the let down for me as there was terrible smell coming from the drains. There's a nice view of the river Thames and the house of parliament depending on the room you get but also where you are seated at the restaurant. All in all, real luxurious hotel and I would stay here again.

This was a great stay. The hotel is convenient and the rooms have a great view.We picked a city view with an amazing outlook over the Thames and the Big Ben.Our highlight was the bar staff who were amazing, especially both Adrian the bar manager and Pablo, who we found out was just his 3rd day on the job.These guys were both some polite, friendly and made amazing cocktails and also recommended some tasty bar foods that went great with the fresh cocktails.Thanks for making our visit to the bar on level 1 so memorable.We really enjoyed our time sitting at the bar taking in the vibe listening to the live music.Thank you again for a very memorable visit.
