“Didnt meet expectations”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

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 I was not met with a pleasant tone. Our standard room had a view of another room...as did several other rooms have of our room.
It costs an extra 30 pounds a night if I remember correctly to have a room with a view.
The beds are however very comfortable and the hotel was very quiet when we were there in december.

Room Tip: Ask about whether your room has a view upon booking to avoid dissapointment.

Dear Guest ,

May I firstly apologize for the experience you have noted upon making enquires at our Front Desk.

It is not Park Plaza standard that any guest should be made feel this way when merely questioning about our facilities and room type, and I trust that this was an isolated incident that will not be repeated.

In relation to the room types unfortunately the Riverview rooms are highly sought after and are booked and paid for as such. Therefore we can only upgrade complimentary when this category is not sold.

The Guest Relations team are always available to speak with should you have any concerns during your stay, so I trust that you will visit Riverbank or Park Plaza in the future so that we may restore your faith in us.

Regards

Greg Moorehead
Guest Relations Manager.

“At last, a great hotel AND great service in London”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 February 2012

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 compelled to write a review is the quality of service and the whole experience that the hotel offers. I have stayed in over a hundred hotels in London on Business, this hotel has got it right in terms of value, quality and feel good factor.

I genuinely have no complaints regarding my stay and already we are planning our return visit later this year.

Room Tip: There appears to be a lot of choice in type of hotel rooms, we chose a river view room - wow!

Noisy, cold, no heating. Please stay away. Although there was a nice view of a wall.

“Wow..what a view.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012
1
person found this review helpful

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 at night across the river at Big Ben and the houses of parliament is one of the more beautiful memories in my life. I would definitely suggest paying extra for the river view. Very professional hotel.

Room Tip: Go for the riverview and ask for a high floor

“Smart Hotel.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 February 2012 via mobile

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 selection and reasonably quick.
Nice gym on the 5th floor, although it could do with some cleaning materials for the equipment after use.
Staff friendly, although as a Club Carlson Gold member it was disappointing to have to complete all personal details.
A nice smart hotel. Would stay again.
