Outstanding spot to rest overnight. Staff were amazing and very kind. The room was very comfortable, tastefully put together and had everything you need. A stones throw from London’s cultural hub, we will be back for the next show we see.

The place isn't as visible. It's also not very close to the trains. Takes about 13-15 mins walk to the nearest train station although you can easily walk to London Bridge, globe Shakespeare, bourough market from the location. It has a fully functioning kitchen, laundry and also very decent beds. It's quite compact so if you are a big size person, it will be a squeeze to the closet. The bathroom is big and spacious. Overall, a decent stay. The staff is also friendly and they will try their best to assist with any queries.

The receptionist was very helpful during check-in and check-out. They provided taxi call services and securely stored my luggage. The location is excellent! just a 3-minute walk from my son’s student accommodation, with restaurants and a supermarket nearby. The tube station and Borough Market are only 8 minutes away on foot. Best of all, major attractions like Tower Bridge, the London Eye, and Big Ben are within walking distance, so no transport was needed.
The room was well-equipped for cooking and washing, with everything thoughtfully prepared for guests.
I had a wonderful stay at Native Bankside and will definitely return on my next trip to London!

We have booked a premium studio, however we were assigned to a accessible studio, where the shower was a open space, which are slightly inconvenient for us as we do not need an accessible bathroom, the sink was quite small and extremely low for us too as it should be convenient for disabled guests but not for us. There was a bottle of milk left in the fridge too from previous guest.
Despite of the room type, everything was good, the design of the room was great and better than lots of hotels in London

The hotel is well-located, very beautiful, and very clean. The bed is very comfortable and large, but the sofa bed isn't comfortable; you can feel all the springs. The two bathrooms in the room are very useful for a family with two children.
We recommend this hotel.

The hotel is right on the river bank, but it is a little far from the subway station. You need to go to the other side of the river to sit. The front desk is quite friendly. There is no housekeeping service. You can ask the front desk to change the towels. It is very convenient to have a washing machine in the room.

Response from Property: Hi,Thank you for your feedback! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the friendly service from our front desk and found the in-room washing machine convenient. We appreciate your thoughts on the location—while it’s a bit further from the subway, we’re happy it still worked for your stay. We also want to mention that although we don't offer daily housekeeping, we’re always happy to assist with towel changes or any other requests. We’d love to welcome you back again soon!
