Seems like this was a high end hotel at one point. But it’s not kept up well. - tv is sideways from bed. Can’t watch it well. It also has a mess of wires sticking out. - not very quiet. The river view rooms get a lot of noise from the restaurant. Weird noises. - regular helicopters coming and going from the heliport beside Restaurant is weird layout and uncomfortable. But food is very good. - no laundry even though it’s advertised. - not very clean in common areas. - mattress very worn out and sagging. - no regular coffee in room. Only instant coffee View is great. Location is great if you don’t mind the helicopters. But would not stay again.

Good value, great location
Very convenient location, it's not 5 star by any stretch of the imagination , more a good 3 star, lovely bathroom, lights had a mind of their own and curtains didn't keep the light out. Very quiet for London, great views of the river. Didn't see anyone in hotel at all, just reception staff on check in, which was bit eerie.

The view from the room was good but right under the room there is a what we were told is a restaurant but the barrier to the restaurant is kept in place by broken paving slabs weighing them down by being leant against them Also on the night of our stay there was a party in the restaurant with a dj, this party was so loud we had to complain as we couldn’t get to sleep. We complained twice before anything was done

This place is nothing like it’s advertised, those photos are much older. The place is dated, the linen is cheap & nasty. They advertise it as a 5 star hotel, they must be self appointed. If you’re looking to spend in the £200 a night I would say there are way better options out there.
