Great if you like a firm (Hard) bed.
Fantastic place to stay, great breakfast. My only issue was that the bed in room 19 is very hard.
Room spotless and everything else about the stay 1st class.

one night business trip. Bed extremely uncomfortable and have shared this with hotel. Was very expensive for a one night stay at this hotel but have been told that i booked for 2 people instead of one which made the cost higher

The staff were very nice and helpful. Room and bathroom could do with a redecoration as it was quite run down. Lovely breakfast but I think the cost of the room was a little pricey for what it was.

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.

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
