Plaza on the River - Club and Residence

We have been lucky enough to stay here 3 times in the last 6 months. First time we had a one bedroom apartment with a slight view of the river and we loved it. Second time we had a one bedroom river view suite, same room as before, maybe a little larger, but the view was stunning. This time we had a 2 bedroom suite with a balcony which gives you views of the river including the Houses of Parliment, Big Ben and the Wheel. You could easily have a party in this one. Several people mentioned the comfy beds and they really... more

We are four people from sweden and we stayed at this lovely hotel in London at the end of March,beginning of April. The location is great and the service was absolutely wonderful. We really enjoyed our stay to the fullest and are very pleased with our friends who recommended this hotel to us. We were also stunned with the great food that was served here and one big reason to go here is actually the food. Usually when you go to a hotel you want to go out for meals in the evening but when you stay here I can recommend "staying in". <br... more

On recommendation of our friends we decided to experience the hotel ourselves to check their enhusiastic stories. We booked the hotel directly as it turned out this would be cheaper than booking through a travel agent. From the reservation stage untill back at home, the service was fantastic. 3 Days before arrival we got a telephone call with the request if we wanted transport from the airport, if we wanted to have any items stocked in our fridge and if they could assist us with anything else. Somthing like that we never... more

Stayed at the Plaza on the River for a night in March. Having never been to London, or stayed in a 5* hotel I was after something special. I wasn't dissapointed. Walking up from Vauxhall tube (approx 5 mins), the Plaza stood out the most - although as its directly connected to the Riverbank Plaze (?) I wasnt quite sure I had the right place. As I checked in, I was whisked over to the single 5* Plaza on the river check in desk, and was seated during check in. Our suite was very modern, and spacious considering all the... more

Stayed here late Jan early Feb 2007. Studio room was very spacious and comfortable. Bed was terrific. Large shower, no tub in my room. Complete set of deluxe toiletries provided. There was a kitchenette with functioning stove, dishwasher, refirigerator, all very clean. Clean dishes for two provided. Complementary bottled water each day. Washer/dryer combo in room! Be advised load sizes are small and take a few hours to cycle through to dry (the same machine washes and dries the load). Room was a bit warm for my taste with no way of... more

We stayed at Plaza on the River last weekend (Jan 11-15 2007) and we found it was an excellent weekend. We had a large party at the restaurant Chino Latino where the food was fab, the new menu by the Nobu chef certainly made my night. We also had a babysitter look after our little one, and all in all it is a great place to stay especially now that there are so many more restaurants upstream on South Bank, its really given a new lease to my london experiences with a River dominated. Its still much better than the other 5 stars and... more

Me and my now wife spent our honey moon night here. We booked everything online and turned up after our party a little worse for wear at around 6am. On opening the door to our sumptuous apartment style hotel room with felt overwhelmed. We had the most amazing view of Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. We ordered a perfectly cooked breakfast from room service, made love on the floor while noting the time on Big Ben (a personal best) and then spent the rest of the day luxuriating in our surroundings! Best of all, the staff had left us a... more

My girlfriend and I were celebrating our second anniversary. I have to say that this is the best hotel I have experienced in a long time. After I made the booking online, I phoned the hotel to have some flowers in the room on arrival and of course the flowers were in the room for my girlfriend to receive after check in. I also made a reservation in the restaurant and I pre-arranged with reception a nice table and to also have a gifted wrapped necklace with a card for my girlfriend to receive and open before dinner. The card and... more

After the glowing reviews on this site I was convinced that I'd done the right thing booking the Plaza on the River for my partners birthday. I'd booked a promotional rate which was substantially lower than the rates on expedia etc, and also included an upgrade to a one-bed river view suite. Unfortunately the hotel was not prepared to honour the reservation I had, claiming that the upgrade to a river view suite was a mistake which was altered on their site retrospectively. After being shown a non-river view room, then a room which hadn't... more

Simply a very classy, sophisticated hotel. Great, Great, Great in all aspects....that about sums it up ! I will definately stay again.
