Very poor service. Hotel looks fabulous and rooms are a good size and nicely decorated, and it seems to be in a good area when you look at the map, but not many places to eat or go out to at night. Reception was not helpful at all, and when I asked about moving to a room with a view... More

Last weekend my family and I had the immense pleasure of staying in the Park Plaza Riverbank for what will be a treasured memory for years to come. It is well situated in London for many of the main sights and with incredible views over the Thames and the houses of Parliament. However the real reason that I found myself... More

This hotel is pretty impeccable. It is not located in the most exciting neighborhood in London, but is close enough to the tube. It is also a beautiful walk up the Thames to the London Eye where more is going on. The service is great. We stayed in a family suite on the top floor, and looking out the window... More

I stated for one night on business. Nice, smart hotel in a good location. Room was well sized, with nice bathroom with bath and separate shower. Was a shame to have two single beds rather than a double, but good facilities otherwise, including good tv and selection of channels and good mini bar. Room service was nice, with a good... More

Stayed in the Park Plaza Riverbank for a couple of nights on a London break. There were a lot of positives about this hotel. Lovely comfortable room and bed, good size bathroom including bath which I always appreciate, nice toiletries, all in all felt slightly like a boutique hotel. Gym not bad at all by hotel gym standards, a good... More

We stayed in the PP last Saturday night as part of a weekend break to the Theatre. We paid about £105 via the PP website. To get to it you can get off at Waterloo near the Millenium eye and a 10 min walk along the Thames past big Ben OR a 5 min walk from Vauxhall. It's a great... More

I worked in London for over 4 years and stayed mainly at the Park Plaza. It is a little out of the center of town but it is not far to the tube or a bus stop. The rooms are nicely decorated but the ones that look into the atrium obviously do not have much of a view. Due to... More

I've stayed here a few times now - most recently in January 2012 on business. I've yet to be allocated a river view room but do seem to be gradually graduating towards one. Some rooms overlook the internal atrium - not a great view - but this time I did at least have an outside view - unfortunately it overlooked... More

We stayed at the hotel on Saturday 28 January for just one night. As we were going sight seeing we arrived about 8.30 in the morning just to drop off our case.
