Our second stay here and hopefully not our last! Comfortable rooms, friendly staff, very clean and also surprisingly quiet at night. We stayed for 3 nights and slept soundly every night. I especially like the water machine on every floor where you can refill your water jug with still or sparkling water. More hotels should take note of this for guest comfort but also reducing plastic waste.
It is on the pricier side but everywhere is in London, and the facilities/ location make it worth it.

Great location, great facilities, super modern and nice to be slightly out of the tourist zone but close enough to everything.

Beautiful interior design, fantastic location right on the Thames footpath, amazing views from room and 12th Knot cocktail bar.
I liked everything, my only criticism is that the spa isn’t really a spa, no steam room, hot tub or pool.

We had a standard room, which was beautiful. It was cleaned extremely well and had plenty of space, wardrobes, large shower etc. The location is very central which was exactly what we needed. We did all our sightseeing on foot, but used Blackfriars Station to arrive and leave the city, which is very close by. The breakfast was excellent, plenty of choice and very tasty. This hotel was the cheapest 5* I found when booking. I was not disappointed and will definitely stay again.
There wasn't anything to dislike.
