We came here for breakfast as external customers as we live in central London. The hotel was extremely quiet but the buffet was still plentiful with high quality items. Mostly locally sourced from what I heard. Piroshka who was our server and a blond, young Hungarian girl at the front desk were amazing! We want to come back to stay here!

This hotel has achieved perfection! The decor is outstanding (so much incredible art everywhere!), the service is second to none, the room was the perfect mix of chic and comfortable and all of the little touches just made our stay here so special. The location is perfect to get around and the restaurant food is delicious. It is most definitely our new favorite London hotel.

Totally Gorgeous room. Big and livable. Really comfortable bed. Great location. Lovely wine and drink at the bar. Some downsides:
- Bit noisy despite triple glazing since they gave me a room at an intersection where cars speed (after I asked for a quite room?!).
- Barely had any real hot water. Boiled water for shaving. Shower lukewarm.
- No decent shower pressure to speak of - more like a youth hostel. Bizarre. They gave me 20% due to water issues and said they had fixed it with their supplier. Done.

The bankside hotel is wonderful. Amazing location, quiet surrounding environment, close to so many things; and the staff is amazing. Diana especially made us feel like the ultimate guests. I stay at Marriotts quite often but this trip was quite special. Thank you, Diana.

I cannot say enough good things about this hotel, from the start of a phone call to leaving at the end, the staff were incredible. Nothing was too much of an ask and they were all very attentive and happy to help. The room was beautiful and comfortable and the food was great, but honestly the staff is what made it and what will bring me back to stay again. On arrival Victoria was so helpful and informative, and upon leaving, Dianne was so kind and couldnt do enough for us! Thank you so much for making this a memorable stay

Wehave enjoyed our week here. Easy access to all Lindon sites. Staff is very helpful, welcoming. We have used the gym, business cener, vending kitchen, cafe and even the umbrellas. All in great shape, reliable. The neighborhood has some good pubs , nearby pharmacy, beauty supply, small markets. Made life simpler. It is fun to see the art all around ...really adds to the day. We l9ok forward to staying again!
