Top South Bank Hotel Reviews

Park Plaza London Westminster Bridge

8/10 Good

"The staff is extremely helpful. The breakfast buffet is wonderful. But the room was dusty and the bed was not comfortable even after a mattress topper was provided."

Sea Containers London

8/10 Good

"Overall really pleased with our stay. We’ve stayed here a few times and always enjoyed it. Overall staff and hotel are excellent. My only issue this time round is that I paid for our stay through Expedia early October when booking. On checkout last Friday 30th Sea Containers have then charged us full price again. I’ve spoken to 4 separate front desk staff to get this resolved as I’ve now had to pay this again off my credit card and on all 4 occasions no-one has resolved this or called me back when they said they would. I’ll open a charge dispute with them now as this is frankly terrible of the hotel and their desk staff."
