Bankside Hotel Autograph Collection, London

2 Blackfriars Road, Upper Ground, Southwark, London, SE1 9JU, United Kingdom (show on map)

Expert reviews

CN Traveler review:

“Despite a profanity of high-rises gobbling up the sight lines, the Bankside Hotel is appealingly succinct at just six stories behind Blackfriars Bridge, angled to catch the light. It’s been curated by Dayna Lee, the film-set designer for Dances With Wolves.”

Featured in CN Traveler’s Best New Hotels of 2019.

Telegraph review:

“This alluring addition to an increasingly chic part of London is almost as much gallery as hotel – with pieces of modern art on its walls, and even a studio where local painters and sculptors can be seen at work. But guests can also eat and sleep well in a hideaway that, for all its style, does not forget the basics.”

Convenient and comfortable stay with little touches of luxury.

The location, the decor, the helpful and friendly staff.

A little more choice for the breakfast buffet would have been nice. However it did the job!

Highly Recommended

The room was clean and spacious. Bed and sofa bed were spacious, soft and comfortable. Very lovely and helpful staff. Good location next to tube station, cafe, supermarket, superdrug and some of London top attractions (London Eye, Big Ben, Sky Garden).

Location is a little away from some of our places of interest i.e. (The famous Oxford Street, Edgware Road, Regent Street)

Super friendly staff and comfy clean accommodation

Staff. Bed. Room. Food.

The water from the shared taps in the hallways was always warm. For the price a swimming pool would be good.

Beautiful hotel, great location, very comfortable beds and pillows for great sleep.

The room was lovely, very comfortable bed and wonderful pillows. Very close to the three tube stations, so easy to get all over London, I would stay again and have recommended this to many travelling friends.

I don't have any complaints, I enjoyed everything about this hotel.

Great location and Great staff

Friendly and professional staff helped us throughout our stay. Before arrival they organized airport-hotel transportation. Breakfast Buffet and Bar were a plus. Location was perfect, just tucked in a quiet area away from the hustle and bustle.

No complaints.

Great property that met our London vacation needs.

Very clean and roomy for our family of 3

Not the most central to where we spent most of our time; Uber was about $15 back and forth to Kensington, Covent and the areas in Central London of most interest

Very good stay which was enhanced by very friendly staff.

Very clean room. good breakfast and friendly service.

The location of the hotel is not ideal if you are looking for a central London vibe. That said, it's easy to get a taxi to the West End and the hotel's very pleasant atmosphere makes up for what it lacks in terms of its location.

Nice Stay

Rooms are big enough. Nice cleanliness. We are thankful to Mohammed who sorted out all the problems with his efforts. He made our visit a comfortable one. Apart from him most of the staff were also welcoming. Hotel location is pretty close to several tube stations and far from the hassle of busy main streets. Close to attractions, cafes and supermarkets. Nice breakfast, nice sufficient gym.

We didn't like the approach of the check-in lady who has greeted us at the beginning. She treated us like we were going to stay in her place which she provided for free. Thankfully rest of the team was great. The full glass windows that can't be opened wouldn't be my first preference.

It was wonderful, the staff were friendly and accommodating, the rooms were clean and quiet.

Locating was great, arts district, near the Burrough market, not far from the London eye and big ben, and thames river. Lots of food selection all around

The black out blinds broke.

Excellent hotel, with weeknesses in service at the reception

The architecture, the style, the room, the common areas such as lounge, bar etc. are gorgious.

Deposit regulations and policy are too unflexible and personel at the reception are not serving the guests in first place but trying to impose an unlogical policy of the house.

Good quality hotel in a great location

The breakfast was excellent; tasty and promptly served. Price was reasonable. Little bit difficult to find the hotel itself; could do with a more prominent sign. Staff were brilliant Rooms were comfortable and clean

Nothing really; perhaps slightly better signage would have helped but not a deal breaker
