    We stayed in a room with a walk-in shower (which we asked for). For safety reasons, it’s important to have some kind of an handle inside the shower compartment (missing) as the floor is quite slippery

    I upgraded bedroom to Superior room and did feel the bedroom was a little small and the view was ok.

    Love everything about Sea Containers. Staff were super friendly and helpful. Booked Lyaness and 12th Knot to guarantee seats and both seat locations were brilliant. I stayed here with my daughter and being able to return to the hotel in the evening knowing we were going to the 12th Knot and not have to worry about getting back to the hotel later at night was so exciting. The bar, the view, DJ and staff were just fantastic and we had the best time in this bar. Definitely shall return and have only positive things to say about our whole experience. We had breakfast in the restaurant before checking out and again food was plentiful and staff so friendly and helpful. We shall be back.x

    We couldn’t open (not even crack) the window in our room. The air conditioning was quite loud over night. There was obvious dust on one of the black shelfs in the room. The breakfast was just average.

    The hotel is quite new, modern and located directly at the Themse. The room was comfortable and the bathroom relatively huge. The staff was very friendly.

    Breakfast was amazing, so much choice and just so delicious. The hotel itself is just on another level. We’ve stayed here a couple of times and is definitely our favourite hotel to stay in London. Location is perfect for getting around, the staff are so friendly and helpful. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

    Great hotel, beautiful Thames views - but serve some drinkable coffee at breakfast!

    • Stayed 2 nights

    Two big disappointments with the buffet breakfast - abysmal"filter" coffee which tasted like instant, and no choice of breads, just brown and white sliced loaves next to a toaster. You can order other coffees, but shouldn't have to pay an extra £5 or £6 for a drinkable cup. A minor niggle, but the "Save Planet Earth" notice in the bathroom is a bit meaningless when there is nowhere to hang a towel, giving you a choice of leaving them on the floor to be replaced or on a shelf where they will be damp the next day. I strongly believe interior designers should be made to stay in the rooms they create so that they can pick up on issues like his!

    The hotel has a great location, with the river view rooms looking out over the Thames, and is easy walking distance from Tate Modern, National Theatre and Old Vic and Borough Market and Covent Garden areas. Staff were charming and very helpful and a great Sunday brunch.

    Sea Container is perfectly located overlooking the Thames. During the day the view from our top floor room wasn't anything special as it faced the side but by night when the whole area is beautifully lit up, it was delightful. The room was clean and gorgeously styled. We stayed here for my daughter's 13th bday and it was a perfect stay. Apart from the weather!

    This hotel is in a great location for a visit to the Southbank in London. The restaurant and bar have river views and our room looked out towards the river and London Eye. A very pleasant stay for the price.. The restaurant food was good although expensive. The bar was fun too.

    Unfortunately I booked via Booking.com, when we arrived this booking was not present on the reception computer, hence we had to wait 15 minutes whilst a new booking was made. When it was completed we were given a complimentary upgrade for which we were very grateful. However all other aspects of the stay were excellent.
