2 night stay
Just a 2 night stay. Small room with a small bath room. Plenty drawers and hangers enough plug sockets but no usb outlets.
Breakfast is ok no more.
Restaurant food is very very good and not silly prices.
Overall we loved our stay small room but short of nothing with good but small shower.
We will stay again but the restaurant is worth a visit

1 night stay the the Shard Riverside
Business stay for 1 night. Evening meal was great as was the huge breakfast. Unfortunately the wifi was extremely poor, which for a business trip is not good, room was not very clean and only handwash in the bathroom

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.
