Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Premier Inn Heathrow Airport Terminal 4

10/10 Excellent

"Most convenient and cost-effective stay within the airport environs at Heathrow"

Easyhotel London Victoria

10/10 Excellent

"I was honestly impressed with how much I liked my stay here with my young child! The room was very clean, staff was amazing, the room was small and simple but perfect size for what we needed: to sleep comfortably. The bed was comfortable and the AC was so good we woke up feeling cold even though it was roasting outside. It is located in a great area, very close to the Victoria Station and many restaurants. We will definitely be back!"

Hotel Riu Plaza London Victoria

8/10 Good

"The hotel was modern and was in great shape, but there were literally no amenities. They didn’t have any water for the room. They claimed to have a restaurant, but there was no restaurant - there was one across the street that was only open for breakfast; the bathroom floors were not clean- you couldn’t tell until you walked on them, but they obviously had not been mopped. The bar which was limited in items did not have many seats, so it was always full. However, every single member of the staff was great."

Otherwander Soho Pod Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The only negative thing I have to comment on is the pre-arrival service with reservations. I had received confirmation they would cancel my booking through Hotels.com for a single pod, because I wanted to upgrade to a double pod, and after making the second booking for a double pod, they refused Hotels.com approval cancel the first booking free of charge. It was only after providing the proof of emails to Hotels.com and them persevering, that Otherwander cancelled the first booking free of charge and retained my second booking. In terms of the property itself, it was really cool and a unique experience. It's basically like staying in an uber-modern hostel with private, secure and quiet bunks. The bathrooms are greatly appointed, though in the next refit I think they could do with some more bench space to be able to put your bags etc. Even though the Double Pods technically can sleep two people, it would be VERY tight. Great for one person though. Would stay again when by myself."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Riverside?

The best time to go to Riverside is during the late spring (May to June) and early autumn (September to October) when the weather is pleasant and the crowds are generally smaller.

During late spring, the days are longer and the temperatures are mild, typically ranging from 15°C to 20°C. This is an excellent time for exploring the Riverside Botanical Gardens and enjoying boat trips along the River Thames without the peak summer heat. Many of the local markets and outdoor cafes are in full swing, offering a relaxed experience.

Early autumn also offers comfortable weather, with temperatures often between 12°C and 18°C. The changing leaves provide a beautiful backdrop, particularly for walks along the riverbanks or through the historic town centre.

Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline – this is often within 24-48 hours of your scheduled arrival.
