Top Riverside Hotel Reviews

Radisson Blu Hotel, London Heathrow

10/10 Excellent

"Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich und Hilfsbereit. Das Zimmer war sauber"

Sofitel London Heathrow

10/10 Excellent

"The property and staff was everything I needed for my upcoming flight the following morning. The staff was so helpful with every aspect of my arrival and departure that when I fly into Heathrow I’ll be staying here moving forward. The restaurant was exceptional and the meal was also exceptional. As you can tell I was very pleased. Thank you"

Park Plaza London Riverbank

4/10 Poor

"Whilst very very noisy neighbours from 11pm until 2am is not the fault of the hotel staff, but rather the ignorance of the neighbours themselves, I would have preferred security to have been more intent with their actions when asking them to keep the house down, especially after multiple calls to reception due to them becoming excessively noisy every time the security left the floor. No room to do weights in the gym, and the chest press machine was wedged"

Zedwell Piccadilly Circus

4/10 Poor

"Do not stay here! The room we got was really dirty and had one working outlet. Given that it is such a small and minimalist space, we had hoped the room would at least be clean. The bathroom had a horribly poor design with no shower door, so anytime the shower was turned on, the entire bathroom floor was soaked. There was no way to keep the shower water inside the shower as there was so little gradient to the floor to the drain. The reviews said the hotel had beauty rooms on each floor so I didn’t bring a hair dryer. There are only 2 beauty rooms on floors 3 and 7 and they only had one working hair dryer. Those rooms were also incredibly dirty with hair everywhere. There wasn’t even any space to open up our suitcases, and I know the square footage is described but some floor space to have an open suitcase isn’t even available. So much wasted space in the bathroom and bed frame. We ended up only staying one night here and booked another hotel close by. We just couldn’t stay in the room feeling like we were sleeping in a jail cell. When we checked out early, the staff just said okay well enjoy the rest of your stay. I didn’t expect a refund but maybe a more sincere apology. Might work for some, but the rooms are simply too small and dark for two people. I can’t even imagine having more than two people in a room. If you are traveling with more than one person and want a comfortable stay, just basic hotel necessities, do not stay here."

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.
