Riverbank Park Plaza, London

So I stayed in this hotel as part of a certain website's "mystery" hotels and it was actually booked as a surprise by my partner. And what a surprise it was! The nearest tube is possibly a toss-up between Vauxhall and Waterloo, but from Vauxhall it is straight down the one main road (which happens to basically run along the river!). From the outside, the hotel does not exactly look amazing, but as soon as you step inside it is a different story. ...
...and just around the corner is the reception area where we checked in. We did have to wait a while to be checked in, despite other people checking in before us with a different member of staff. I did feel that was a bit rude, but I was still in shock at the artistic pictures of Marilyn Monroe and jewelry dotted around the reception area.

Review of Riverbank Park Plaza, London

Review of Riverbank Park Plaza, London

This is situated on the south side of the River Thames, opposite the Tate Britain art gallery, and occupies stunning views of the Houses of Parliament, Big Ben and the London Eye. It has 394 rooms and is a short walk from Westminster Bridge with over 330 rooms. All of the rooms are to a high standard and room service prompt. I have stayed several times all at reduced rates and 90% of times upgraded to the executive floor with complimentary drinks, can-napes and a private breakfast room. The hotel is furnished stylishly and offers full business services. The service of the staff is superb along with the food. The most I have paid for a night is £77.00 75% off" ...
