The hotel offers a mixed experience with comfortable rooms featuring a queen-size bed, personalized furniture, and luxury toiletries, but with some drawbacks like cheap carpets and a jacuzzi-bed combo. It got quite chilly at night despite no adjustments to the temperature controls.

Rooms

The room had a comfortable queen-size bed and all necessary amenities, like robes and slippers, which was convenient. However, there was a mix of quality with some luxurious touches and some cheaper elements like carpets and flat-pack furniture.

Service

The service had some hiccups with wrong details at check-in, non-functional USB points, and breakfast staff seeming a bit disorganized. There was also a billing issue and initial room problems. Despite this, the room service and housekeeping were efficient.

Location

The location is highly convenient, situated near central London and offering a handy free shuttle service once discovered. However, it could be a bit challenging to reach initially until finding out about the shuttle service.

Dining

The dining experience was good, with value for money and delicious meals. However, there were limited vegetarian options and issues with overcooked bacon and breakfast orders being mixed up.

Facilities

The hotel provides various facilities like room service, housekeeping, and grocery shopping. One notable issue was the initial problem with the telly signal in the Empire Suite, but there was a promise of a hot tub bath.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The outstanding river view from the room's floor-to-ceiling windows was breathtaking. The food, gym, and spa services were top-notch, enhancing my experience. The setting by the river was lovely, although accessing it required going to another building rather than being directly in a hotel room.

7.4/10

It was my birthday stay, and while the room had a comfortable queen size bed and all necessary amenities, the disappointment came from the lack of a city view, only facing the car park. The struggle with the shallow sink for kettle refilling was a constant hassle, but the location wasn't too far from central London, offering easy access with the free shuttle service once discovered. The dining options were good; however, the limited vegetarian choices were a drawback.

7.2/10

The hotel is a bit out of the way from central London, close to the river. The rooms are quite handy and go out of his way to mingle with guests. The dining was a bit cold and way overpriced, and the location is a bit out on a limb mainly because the station is a 10-minute walk, but stops immediately in front of the hotel.
