Guest Reviews
- Lorraine (9/5): -
- Ciaran (4/5): The bare minimum - The bed was comfortable Staff not particularly friendly, they seemed to be busy with other things all the time. The receptionist suggested Tesco would be the best place to get something to eat when I arrived at 22:50, he mentioned that the bar was open but wouldn´t serve me as it was near to closing time and added that he didn´t know where the Tesco was or whether it would be open. We parted with him telling me I could take the "express elevator" to the first floor. The room was weird, half entirely unfurnished and everything crammed into the other half, so very little room to move. No nearby public transport or attractions of any sort.
- Jill (8/5): -
- VAHIDA (2/5): i would not book it again it was mot worth it - rooms and beds comfortable good size beds The breakfast it should be catered for muslims there should be a halal option. Also not happy with the spa closing at 7pm
- Annette (7/5): -
- Kandace (7/5): -
- David (10/5): - Hotel was clean and staff were friendly, and helpful. They helped us to arrange transport to our venue after Booking. Com had let us down with a previous we had made with them. Only stayed two nights didn't have time to use Spar.
- Lahouari (10/5): Très bon séjour merci beaucoup - Excellent hotel Excellent hotel
- Yvonne (10/5): -
- Nembhard (4/5): It was nice to get away from home for a night - The room and bathroom was spacious The spa and facilities was too small no more than 3 ppl at a time so as a couple going to the spa and seeing another couple in the jacuzzi means we couldn’t use it.

- jason (10/5): Superrrr - Location and love this hotel stopped here numerous times over the yrs. Nothing.
- NBELL007 (10/5): Excellent hotel near Clapham Junction - Beautiful hotel on the Thames path. 20 minutes walk to Clapham Junction Station or 7 mins by bus with the stop located right outside the front door.
Staff wasso friendly and accommodating. The rooms were large and the bed was so comfortable.
Bathroom facilities was excellent. Would definitely book again. There was nothing I didn't like.
- Yereha (10/5): -
- Ann (8/5): Enjoyable one night stay - Very easy check in. Stayed in a superior double room, great size, very comfortable & good facilities. Had side view of the river. Quiet location & walking distance to the pier to use the uber boat which was all we need for our one night visit in London.
- Polina (7/5): -
- Tadhg (5/5): - Locations Inside was dated
No ways it’s a 5 star
- Obash (8/5): Great place, friendly and helpful staff. - Clean, spacious, friendly and helpful staff, a minute to the bus stop, also there are shops just 10 minutes walk away to buy any essentials needed. Wifi, this was key to my trip as it was work related. Although free, the strength was not just good enough to handle my meetings. Not blaming the property though.
- Mamoun (7/5): - Isolated pma east. Near the river which is a plus Room on ground floor no provacy
No toiletries
- geoffrey (10/5): cleanest hotel we have ever stayed in - Room location and food at Banyan Restaurant nothing

- Donovan (10/5): - Superb staff, spotlessly clean and great value.
- Thomas (5/5): - Staff were super friendly and helpful. The bed was very comfortable and the shower very good. The room was a good size. The breakfast was also passable. Not sure this hotel can be classed as 5 star. The whole building feels very tired, the decor very "of its time" and the whole atmosphere just a little strange. The gym was very dirty and some of the equipment just didn't work. The noise from building work woke me up quite early.
- Thomas (5/5): - Breakfast Location

- Daniel (10/5): -
- Kamanga (8/5): - The staff weee welcoming and friendly and the facility is quiet clean During breakfast,there was some other clients that would pop in,make some noise and there was one that made my childrens uncomfortable as he tried to grab my breakfast from my family table which terrified my kids.
- David (6/5): Lovely place but too far from train station - Great property and staff. Really nice room. Doing walk from railway station,
- Michael (5/5): Ok but expensive for what it is - The sauna is good. Location too. Terrible WiFi.

- REBECCA (5/5): -
- Sharon (9/5): Yes I would recommend had a very nice stay - Clean and friendly in a good location easy to get to central London bus stop straight outside the hotel drops straight outside tube station into the main attractions. The breakfast in the Banyan Resturant was good value and really nice the waiter for breakfast service was a very nice man. The mattress on the bed was really hard and the refrigerator didn’t seem to work
- Ishfaq (1/5): Dreadful worst hotel we have stayed in - It is not a 5* hotel. More like 2/3*
Corridors had horrible smell
- EmiA (9/5): - Nice view on river, large comfortable room and access to car park and spa was good. Just outside is a bus stop and a bike park. The breakfast was very good with loads of choice and the the staff were accommodating and friendly. We went to the restaurant before our 4 hour drive home and the food took almost an hour and half to come out to us. We weren't the only ones who were getting aggitated. Just seemed not enough staff for a 5 star hotel and the restaurant didn't seem to be to full at the time . Whilst my salmon was tasty my husband s chicken was bland and dry.

- Silobile (9/5): I had an overall very relaxing over night spa experience, one of the best I’ve been to and I will be returning . - The hotel is very clean, staff were friendly , I chose a room overlooking the river therefore I would say the location was excellent.I also enjoyed the breakfast .I had the best massage I’ve ever had at the spa , jacuzzi , sauna and steam room were great . The food at dinner took a while from ordering , perhaps because they were busy, it was a bit cold when I got it .Taste wise the food was ok , dinner didn’t wow me, breakfast tasted great for me.
- Cameron (8/5): -
- Rob (8/5): Lovely hotel, good value, and friendly staff. - Lovely nice big room and enormous bathroom, both really nicely furnished and high quality.
We requested to check in early when we arrived at 12 midday ( on the off chance, but we were expecting to just check our bags instead ) and they had a room available for early check in and they didn’t charge extra, which we thought was fantastic customer service. Nothing really. It looks a bit strange from the road as it’s got apartments above it, but once inside it’s a lovely hotel and a real feeling of quality in the hotel throughout. Very spacious in all areas.

- Thanh Huyen (9/5): - Le personnel est agréable, à disposition à tout moment Le restaurant est bien bon.
- Andre (9/5): Não me parece um hotel 5 estrelas, mas o custo benefício é excelente de qualquer forma. - Quarto espaçoso. Bom chuveiro. Bom café da manhã, com muitas opções de frutas. Academia bem completa. Check in e check out rápidos. Ponto de ônibus bem a frente. Vista bonita do tâmisa. O horário do spa/jacuzzi poderia ser mais estendido, fecha as 19h. Seria agradável passar um tempo após um dia de turismo, mas sempre chegávamos no hotel após as 19h. O paisagismo precisa de alguns reparos, mas nada que prejudique a estadia.
- Ahmed (10/5): Lovely experience. - Cleannesses and staff cordiality. All fine
- Matt (5/5): Cheap tacky decor with sweaty hot breakfast - The vending machine for a snack when arriving late as helpful, as there is nowhere nearby to get food. Thankfully only 1 night stay, this is not a 5 star hotel at all! It’s full of cheap tacky furniture and an overall weird style. The bed was very uncomfortable. The hotel fire alarm went off at 00:30ish twice as someone was smoking in the room. The spa is not open first thing in the morning, meaning useless if you have to leave for work. The hot breakfast options were really unappetising, hardly cooked sausages, rubbery bacon, and sweaty hash browns. The pastries were clearly out of packets - thankfully the did have Kelloggs cereal boxes!
- Timika (3/5): - The rooms are spacious and its good location. Despite it being very quiet my room was next to the spa and gym, which meant it was noisy with staff waking past and noisy. The fire alarm went off twice in the middle of the night and only after calling reception did I find it was a false alarm. Poor comms and noisy.
- Courtney (10/5): Great stay - The empire suite was amazing It was all good
- Nickisha (4/5): Not 5 star - Comfy bed and lovely hot tub. Great view of the river. Lots of broken and duck taped items which is very surprising for the cost. Breakfast was overcooked and very small cooked breakfast options. Only small towel provided did not fit around myself or my partner who are of average build. Only standard tea and coffee provided should have included peppermint etc for the cost. No complimentary toothpaste and shower gel is clearly refilled so not sure of the actual contents.
- Luis (8/5): -
- Pat (7/5): Comfortable and good value. - Breakfast, very quiet room. The view. The windows to the floor which make you feel on view to people in the car park.
- Colleen (10/5): -
