Spacious and Modern

“The room I stayed in at Bankside Hotel was absolutely lovely. It was modern and minimal, yet very warm and inviting. The big windows allowed for plenty of natural light, and the large TV was a nice touch for a cozy evening. I also appreciated the electric blinds, which kept the room dark when needed. Every floor had pitchers for sparkling and still water, which I found very convenient.” view full review

The quality of the towels provided was excellent, plentiful, and very plush, ensuring a luxurious feel every time I used them.” view full review

My stay at the Bankside Hotel, Autograph Collection was a mix of luxury and minor inconveniences. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although the street view wasn't very appealing. The service was exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff. The location is convenient, close to many attractions in central London, but there was a confusion about a bar tab upon check-out. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with tasty food but some issues with presentation and timing.
