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.

one night business trip. Bed extremely uncomfortable and have shared this with hotel. Was very expensive for a one night stay at this hotel but have been told that i booked for 2 people instead of one which made the cost higher

The staff were very nice and helpful. Room and bathroom could do with a redecoration as it was quite run down. Lovely breakfast but I think the cost of the room was a little pricey for what it was.

Very pleasureable overnight stay. Only had lunch and breakfast as we were meeting family during stay, but next time will stay for an evening meal. Food we had had excellent. Rooms basic but clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
