"nice stay."

Just a couple of little criticisms, within the room, no cold bottled water, only 1 teaspoon for tea and coffee, and no availability for the toilet door to be shut properly. When down using the pool facilities, no staff around to ask for assistance with locker issues.

"Good central location with plenty of amenities nearby and good transport links to most parts."

Let me start by saying this was a very nice hotel with friendly staff in a great location. It is quite modern and kept very clean. A large array of food was available for breakfast in buffet form. There was a charge for this of £12 which seem very fair for what was available and it was a good quality.The staff were friendly and very helpful. We had to leave in rather a hurry so I was unable to raise a few points with the Hotel and hope that by putting them here they will be channelled in the right direction so that if it is felt they need attention then that can be achieved. 1 It wasn`t possible to open the windows in the bedroom and this tended to make it a little bit stuffy 2 The shower cubicle was poorly fitted and water leaked under it into the toilet area.

"Bad hotel experience"

Very bad service overall in the room. Telephone, TV and mobile casting to TV not working. We had a member of the staff for 30mins trying to make it work but only succeed with telephone which then stopped working again 1h later. Room service was also very late. After taking more than an hour to call (since phone was not working) it took them 1.5h to bring a bottle of water and a milk (for our childern) up only after 2 more phone calls. In the end the delivered after 22.00 which was very late for kids. Note that there was no other way to communicate to reception and hotel as there is no phone nr on the card or online other than reservation desk which was out of hours at 9pm so I had to put clothes again and physically go down to reception to let them know. Can`t really believe that nowadays a hotel doesn`t check apart from room physical setup and cleaniless also that phone, TV and WiFi/connectivity is also working 100% as key parts of the service.

"Very comfortable with a fabulous relaxing pool and spa At 7am on a Saturday the only 2 in there,blis"

The low level lighting is very atmospheric but a brighter light would be better at the lifts and in the bathrooms.

"Great hotel let down by staff"

Great building in a good location close to tube etc, very good facilities with nice modern rooms. However our stay was let down by hotel staff. Firstly server in restaurant was slow - delivering sides when main meal was almost finished and ?forgot? to add hotel guest discount on bill when asked. Main issue was taking over 90 mins to resolve an issue with the electronic blinds. 3 contacts promised maintenance to attend ?immediately?. Eventually asked to move room as had a young child to get to sleep. No urgency, compassion or problem solving offered by staff throughout- topped off with no apology. Main breakfast room was very very busy. Lots of jostling and bumping. Plus they use domestic toasters 6 of the 8 slots had broken meaning toast was very slow. Family breakfast area is excellent idea - lots of room, entertainment for children etc. (Although the toaster problem was the same). This should be better advertised - great idea.

"Very nice hotel tasteful and very helpful staff"

On arrival very efficient checkin. Nice room although we found it odd to have such lovely lighting options but to see in the bathroom you had to put the full lighting on in the room which was a bit unpleasant for my husband when I was up early and he wanted to sleep in. Very comfy bed. Overall good stay and great location so hear Waterloo, so we will use the hotel again.

Great location and very modern. Room quite small but not a problem. Could have been cleaner. Outside panels to wardrobes were dirty and a very cracked cup was not replaced over the two nights stay. No issues with outside noise... well insulated with a nice auto window screen touch! All in all an enjoyable experience.

"Great hotel !"

Really liked this hotel. Fantastic location - really close to the tube but we walked everywhere. Only 30 minutes walk to the theatre, 15 to the river. Modern hotel with comfy beds & good facilities . Slightly odd bathroom/ toilet layout but not a big deal. Would definitely stay again.

"Lovely hotel "

Great location and nicely presented. The pool and spa is fab and so nice not to have to pay additional fees to access these! Staff very friendly and helpful. Room very nice however it was so modern we had difficulty in monitoring the lighting and air con! The door across the shower / loo was very stiff (room 139) and anyone less strong / older residents would have difficulty manoeuvring it. However love the Elemis products! The tea facilities were good although more milk sachets would have been helpful.

For reasons mentioned in the show review I didn`t really spend a lot of time in the hotel due to being admitted to hospital. (Hotel in great location for St Thomas`s!!! One thing that slightly disappointed me was the room was classed as superior king suite.... but the bed was two singles pushed together, but I suppose after 8hours in A&E I was just greatful for a bed.

"Good hotel"

Had an enjoyable stay at the Park plaza. Very nice hotel, very clean and modern with friendly-ish staff. However, I booked the hotel due to it being a `spa` hotel. Me and my girlfriend were both very disappointed as the spa was merely a freezing cold swimming pool and lukewarm sauna. Although overall the hotel was nice, for the price I paid we were expecting something much better. .
