    Nothing.

    The amazing view! We were impressed with the bathroom; it was elegant, warm, and well-equipped with a variety of amenities. The location, adjacent to the train station, was a plus. All decor details from the entrance, the lobby, and the restaurants were exquisite. We had a great time at the Lounge. The staff was helpful and went above and beyond to help us accommodate our needs. Definitely, we want to return.

    Leaving to go home.

    I loved absolutely everything from start to finish, the chauffeur from the station on arrival, the room on the 47th floor was unbelievable over looking tower bridge. Meal at ting was very nice, Chauffeur from Shangri-La to wembley for coldplay, breakfast was very nice also.. Very highly recommend and will be definitely staying again.

    There was nothing I didn’t like about it

    The views of London make any stay there an adventure in itself, as one can spend hours just taking in the sights of the city.

    Warm, friendly welcome from all staff. Room was breath taking with wonderful unexpected gifts for my mum's 81st birthday. A true surprise! Slept unbelievably well. Lovely ambience at infinity pool. Service at breakfast was exceptional. Can't fault anything. A real treat to stay here. Highly recommend.

    What’s not to like.

    Was stunning. Everywhere smelt amazing from the second you walked in. Staff were helpful and friendly. The air con in the room was freezing which I LOVE. The view absolutely incredible, I could have sat there all day just looking at it. The bed was huge and so comfortable. All the room touches were perfect. We were getting married during our stay and the hotel had written us a message on the window and thrown rose petals on the bed. It was just perfection. Would highly recommend staying here for the experience.

    The constant number of messages sent asking if we wanted to upgrade. The attitude of some of the staff when asking questions. The £300 holding deposit which has still not cleared, why so high? Breakfast not included with a room charge of £965.

    The amazing views looking across London and up the Thames. The room was very good and comfortable. All amenities in the room were also very good.
