About this place Plaza on the River

Plaza on the River offers comfortable, well-equipped accommodation on London's South Bank, perfectly positioned for exploring Vauxhall's vibrant gay village. The hotel features 65 air-conditioned studios alongside one and two-bedroom suites, each with fully equipped kitchens and modern amenities including free WiFi. Many rooms boast stunning views across the River Thames towards iconic London landmarks like the House of Parliament and Big Ben, making this a great base for both relaxation and sightseeing. As a gay-friendly hotel, the venue sits just moments away from Vauxhall's bars, clubs and other gay venues, making it ideal if you want to be at the heart of London's LGBTQ+ scene. The location is exceptionally convenient for getting around—Vauxhall Underground station on the Victoria Line is only 500 metres away, giving you quick access to the rest of the city whenever you want to explore beyond the neighbourhood. Whether you're visiting London for a weekend away, a longer stay, or want a home base to explore the capital's LGBTQ+ spaces, the modern facilities and riverside location make this a practical choice. The kitchenettes in each room offer flexibility for guests who prefer to prepare some of their own meals, while the contemporary room technology keeps you connected throughout your stay.

For London, the rooms are quite spacious and clean. The riverside pictures were the attraction but I didn't one. Breakfast was good. Ahmad, the porter was very nice and helpful. Same with the lady,Selin I think that checked me in.

I was very disappointed with the cleanliness of the hotel. The doors and walls were dusty, and the overall housekeeping standards were poor. In addition, when we informed the reception about issues, they were not addressed properly. Some members of the front desk staff seemed indifferent and showed little concern for guests’ requests.

The Park Plaza London Riverbank is very closely located to the center of London with direct sight of the Big Ben. When we arrived we were welcomed by Selin who made us feel comfortable and ofered help from the beginning on. We even got an upgrade, so the room was beyond our expectations! It was very clean and modern. I can absolutely recommend staying here and would come back any time!
