Overall
8.1(12258)4/10 Poor customer care of a hotel that has really gone downhill.
First note is I am writing this review on the first night of my stay, on the second floor at 12am as I cannot sleep due to the noise surrounding me. Over the last ten years, I don’t have enough fingers and toes to count the amount of times I’ve stayed at the Park plaza Riverbank, and it’s safe to say that each stay is worse than the last. The hotel staff used to be very caring about making your stay comfortable, and there was something personal about staying here. That is none existent anymore.
I choose to stay in this hotel every time I visit London (which I won’t be any more). Throughout a year it is a lot of times. This morning (Monday) I checked into my room which I had booked from the previous night (Sunday) but was unable to travel down due to train strikes (same thing has happened in my last 3 visits over the last 3 months).
In order to try and save any hassle when I check in, I email and telephone hotel reception in advance to explain my situation, in order to keep my room and my reservation not being cancelled. The last 3 times I have checked in, I have been given poor rooms for somebody who is staying for 5 nights at a time:
January - room 128 right next to lifts, gym and restaurant. Request to move
February- booked a twin room and get a double. Request to move
Today- given a disability room without even being asked if it’s okay by the person checking me in. Request to move and given a room by the plant room, above the restaurant and just above street level. Which I am stuck in till tomorrow.
I have always went back to reception and requested to move rooms and today I was given room 235 which I am in now. When asked again if I can have a higher room I was told ‘it’s the morning sir, we are full’ to which I completely understand, but the hotel was notified of my arrival time and no room was clearly kept for me.
I stay for 5 nights at a time, I can put up with certain rooms for one night but when I am staying for a long period of time on my own for business, it is unacceptable. I don’t feel I am looked after during my stays anymore.
Also, for anybody visiting with a premium membership status for Radisson hotels, don’t get your hopes up as it’s absolutely useless here and the complimentary room upgrade to the next status is never filled.
I must note the spa and gym facilities are brilliant and the breakfast is too. Same for the location which is why this review has just got a 2/5.

10/10 Exceptional Service and an Unforgettable Stay! Thank You, Taras!
Our stay at this hotel exceeded all expectations! From the very beginning, we felt truly welcome. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere, the rooms are very clean and comfortable, and everything is thoughtfully arranged for guests' convenience.
But the greatest asset of this place is its staff, particularly at the reception desk. We want to express our immense personal gratitude to Taras! Taras is the epitome of professionalism, attentiveness, and genuine hospitality. He didn't just perform his duties; he genuinely went above and beyond to make our stay as pleasant and carefree as possible. Any question or request was handled quickly, efficiently, and always with a smile.
His positive attitude and willingness to help in any situation made our stay truly special and unforgettable. You could really feel that he genuinely cares about guests' satisfaction.
We wholeheartedly recommend this hotel to anyone looking not only for comfort but also for outstanding service with a personal touch.

3/10 Stay At Other Park Plazas This is Not as good as Victoria or Westminster Bridge
Breakfast lounge on the 11th floor was amazing and great staff and views

10/10 Excellent and welcoming venue with a fab foyer playlist!
The Park Plaza Hotel even though large was incredibly welcoming for a single woman (widow) who was staying alone and the Concierge Alex and Josh were absolute gentleman and very happy to help ensure the smallest detail was perfect and Isabela was incredibly kind and made the Spa so relaxing and enjoyable. I was invited to the Lexis Nexis Award Ceremony and it was beautifully run & again the staff were excellent & were very patient as the guests were reluctant to leave the dance floor. I would absolutely recommend for future events & would love to come again!

5/10 Comfortable but very basic
The staff were friendly and helpful. Our room was ok but not what I would expect for superior. When booking it said coffee maker but we were met with a basic kettle and basic coffee. Again not expected from such a high standard hotel. Our tv wasn’t working on arrival but it was sorted quickly once reported. This was an unnecessary interruption when we wanted to rest. We also going shards of glass on the bathroom floor. It was however a comfortable stay.

10/10 Trip to London
The hotel is convenient to many of the historic sites you want to see. I was able to walk to Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Westminster Abbey, the London Eye and was only a short cab ride from the West End.
When I got to reception on my first day, I was greeted by Madhu and he made checking in seamless. The views from the rooms and executive lounge are amazing. The breakfast could have used a bit more variety but overall I would definitely stay again.

10/10 Amazing view, staff, and concierge!
This was the first time my wife and I stayed in a nice hotel (we usually get premium inns). The view was stunning and the bed was wonderful. It literally took our breath away. To add, it was also our marriage anniversary and Joe, the Concierge, took amazing care of us! It's not easy travelling with a baby but Joe and the team made sure all our needs were met. Huge thanks to Joe and the team at reception 🙂!

9/10 Superb
Great location, paid the extra for a river view room, well worth it. Stayed 4 nights, could have been more - so much to see and do in the area and transport links very good. Very helpful and friendly staff.
BarryApr 21, 2025
7/10 I could have sat and looked out of the window all day! A river view room is the best option.
The view from the bedroom river view 6th floor was spectacular. A view of the Houses of Parliament.

8/10 I would recommend this hotel to others and stay here again when visiting London.
All of the staff in the hotel were super helpful and pleasant from the moment you enter the hotel. Everyone said hello and reception were helpful.
The waiting staff in the restaurant were also super pleasant and polite. And the pool staff too.
The hotel is in an excellent location too

9/10 Nice hotel with good view to the revier and other attractions
The hotel provided a remarkably comfortable stay. Although there were no restaurants or coffee shops directly adjacent to the hotel, its proximity to the London Eye and other attractions ensured a convenient and enjoyable experience.

6/10 Okay for one night
Room was average and not as clean as usual experience. Best feature was the shower which was great, powerful and hot. Gym is good and location is pretty good for restaurants, pubs and shops. This stay was good value too. Although it's a big hotel, it's reasonably quiet.

10/10 Fabulous luxury
So accommodating, we were upgraded to the executive lounge and our stay there was outstanding, the relaxed aroma throughout the hotel was uplifting. Fabulous view of the Thames and parliament building. We just loved it.

6/10 It was acceptable
Didn’t think the reception staff gave enough information on what was available or where things where
The room was very small and the mattress was quite old IMO you rolled together 🤦♀️
Breakfast was ok but cold
