The hotel is in an amazing position, which is quiet and relaxing. The staff were friendly and helpful in fact couldn’t do enough for us, because of this we didn’t want to spoil the trip by saying the room which was sold as a deluxe double really wasn’t. Very basic actually. The view was of the car park with a view if you hung you head out of the window. It was in need of an update in most areas, cleaning was present daily towels changed, the confetti in the room was disappointing as we weren’t members of a wedding party- Having said this we still had a relaxing stay at the hotel with a big salute to all the amazing staff we encountered.

A nice riverside location. Small but clean room with a nice view of the river. While at dinner ordered the hamburger WITH NO ONIONS and the chicken burger. After ordering was told they didn't have that specific chicken burger but they could do something else. Fine. The chicken burger came ZERO seasoning or flavor, besides the overwhelming fish flavor from the fish batter. And the hamburger came, literally onions throughout the entire meat. Not super impressed with how that was handled.

A break in UK summer
Weather was not to kind to us but this hotel and the staff gave everything so we could enjoy our break away. Evening meal was lovely along with the breakfast which was amazing. We only had a double bed which although comfy didn’t give us much room not sure now if we could’ve got a king size but would deffo book one next time if we return

My friend time at the Shard Riverside and it won’t be my last. Nice comfortable room, amazing view (did book a room with a river view), breakfast cooked to order and was superb, friendly efficient staff. What’s not to like.

Very pleasureable overnight stay. Only had lunch and breakfast as we were meeting family during stay, but next time will stay for an evening meal. Food we had had excellent. Rooms basic but clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

The restaurant area was good , slightly shabby , staff friendly and very efficient The food was good. There were very steep steps to access the bedrooms, and as we both have mobility issues, this was not mentioned online. The safety firedoor was open to the outside for the most part of the day!!! The room was very small and the onsuite was way too small and seriously grubby, The bed was a small double and not comfy at at. While looking for the hairdryer later that evening, we open a top drawer to find used pants and socks...clearly not cleaned and sanitised. As we booked for two nights , we were so disappointed that we left earlier and we were given a refund of the night..hopefully we will receive it in a couple of days. This place shows on expedia as a 4* rating..was stuck to find any stars to be fair in accommodation, but the food was good.. Will not be returning.
