"The room was just ok. I had stayed at another property at Park Plaza Westminster before. This Riverbank property was not as nice; particularly the bathroom shower in my room was not clean ie the shower had soap scum and evidence of dry rot adjacent to the door . The staff was excellent and helpful. The breakfast buffet was good; some items especially the fresh fruit were in short supply. Overall a good stay."

"We stayed in an executive king room for the weekend for my daughter's 12th birthday. From the moment we arrived we were extremely well looked after by all of the staff and we were very impressed with the hotel, especially the VIP lounge which we had access to due to booking an executive room. As well as this, the hotel provided some lovely birthday gifts for my daughter, which she was very excited to receive when we arrived in the room. Overall we had a thoroughly enjoyable stay and we will definitely be back again. Thank you!"

10/10 Excellent
"I enjoyed my stay here! The location couldnโ€™t be better - the hotel entrance is literally next to Tower Hill Tube Station, and youโ€™re just steps from the Tower of London and within walking distance of Tower Bridge. The room is small, but very ergonomic and thoughtfully designed. The huge, comfy bed by the window, shower, vanity, and closet all fit perfectly into the space, so I had everything I needed without feeling cramped. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. When I arrived, the hotel system went down and check-in was temporarily unavailable, but they were so patient and kind throughout the whole situation. Breakfast at ยฃ20.50 was absolutely worth it - great variety, fresh berries and fruit, veggies, hot and cold options, and good coffee. I also loved the iPad in the room. It made everything feel modern and convenient, from controlling the lights to setting the alarm. Iโ€™d definitely stay here again!"
