We had an exceptional stay at Sea Containers London. Our room was stylish, spacious, and beautifully designed, with floor-to-ceiling windows offering an incredible view over the Thames. The bed was exceptionally comfortable, the bathroom luxurious, and every detail — from the lighting to the amenities — felt thoughtful and high-end. The location couldn’t be better, with the South Bank’s best restaurants, galleries, and riverside walks just outside the door. Staff were warm and attentive, and the overall atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed. A truly memorable stay — we can’t wait to return.

The room was beautiful and I was kindly upgraded which was perfect given that I have stayed at the hotel numerous times before. The suite was fantastic and the views over London at night and first thing in the morning are simply incredible

Room was a great size and location was brilliant for what we were doing. Bar is fabulous and we had brunch on the Sunday and the food was delicious
For one night it is on the little pricier end of the spectrum but it was worth it

Is a nice, modern, well located hotel in the south bank meaning with great access to London by walking or public transport. Nice staff. Organized and with fair rates (for London)
Nothing really to point out

Superior Room was exceptional. Staff welcoming.
Left instructions for a key to be left for my partner to pick up. But that was don't done. I did ask twice when I checked in a little embarrassing when he arrived and inconvenienced. Staff members overall great but one was particularly very stressed at breakfast and it showed. But our server was amazing , professional and so very helpful.
