The staff were very friendly when checking in, got offered hot or cold drink upon arrival. Very good service.

Callum United Kingdom

The staff were exceptional and a real stand-out. They were so warm and caring, and seemed genuinely invested in the hotel and went above and beyond to deliver a stellar service to the hotel guests. This made it such a lovely place to stay. I really want to thank them for making my stay a special one. I'm so sorry I didn't catch all your names, but you were all wonderful. Hotel furnishings and decor are also very beautiful, and walk-in hot shower was great!

Sue Singapore

Breakfast was fine. Rooms super comfortable & clean

Lorraine United States of America

Location is superb for Southbank and Borough Market. Staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. Loved all the complementary drinks and cookies.

Vik United Kingdom

Cleanliness, great staff, cozy and spacious room, good wifi, water taps with drinkable water

Madi Kazakhstan

We were only in town for two nights and it was my first time in London so we wanted to be someplace central to all of the main sights. Bankside’s location couldn’t have been better. 6 min walk from the train station (we flew in and out of Gatwick) and 1 min to the river - we walked to everything in less than a day. In addition to that, the hotel itself is modern and inviting. Our room was large with a king bed, clean, well appointed and super comfortable. The staff was excellent, as was the food and service at the lobby bar. All for a very reasonable price - I highly recommend!

Heather United States of America

Location great, staff could not do enough to help; the hotel was immaculate with great facilities!

Jo United Kingdom

The staff at Bankside were so lovely and made my stay amazing from the moment I set foot in the door. The hotel is stylish and central. I highly recommend to anyone travelling for work or with friends.

Amy United Kingdom

Here comes the list! The welcoming and caring staff. They are genuine and treat you with a huge amount of warmth and care. They took an interest in our days and it was lovely coming back in the evenings after dinner to talk with them about it. The space is beautiful and relaxing with art and coffee table books everywhere. It's beautifully curated. The room: Big beds, comfortable, warm, modern without being cold, luxurious products. Extras: Raquel from reception left us a very thoughtful gift for myself and my best friend celebrating our 30+ years of friendship.

Susie Ireland

It was my second time at the hotel so I expected that everything would be perfect just like the last time. Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. I loved the location and the fact that I was so close to the Thames pathway. I also liked the bar at the restaurant.
