Lovely artsy hotel. Great service from all staff, particularly Lamesh. Good amenities. Cityscape and river views. Comfy beds and luxurious bedlinens. Would definitely stay again.

Had a lovely time started in the bar situated at the top of the building and had some wine, BUT surprised that the bar is NOT DOG FRIENDLY which is very disappointing was told because the music could be upsetting to the dog 🤔😡 which l find crazy as it was not even loud and it’s a bar? No different than any other bars RESTAURANT HOWEVER IS DOG FRIENDLY 😊 as we were finishing our wine in the bar upstairs they rang to ask where we were as are booking was for 7pm we told them we will be 10 minutes late as just finishing our drinks , we didn’t think that would be a problem at all, when entering the restaurant which did look nice the lady made us feel quite bad and said she needed to chew we can still have a table 🤔🤔10 mins late 🤔🤔 she came back and just said l will show you to your table she started to walk us over to part of the restaurant which did that was empty and l ask can l site at this table which seems to be empty and ready she reluctantly said yes. The rest of the experience was VERY GOOD our waiter was very nice indeed quit the opposite to the ladybooking us in and showing us to the table The food was very nice, had prawn cocktail but it only came with 2 large prawns ( apparently they used to give 3 ) but our waiter came back with 1 more each so that was nice of him My main was both tasty and a good size so my experience got to be enjoyable thanks to the food and the waiter and restored my confidence in to book again

We had the best experience celebrating a birthday milestone and an engagement. Amran, the Guest Engagement Executive, took very good care of us. I had arranged a surprise in advance, and they helped organize everything perfectly. We were also treated to complimentary champagne, which made the experience even more special. The hospitality was exceptional. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back!

My wife and I stayed at Sea Containers for her birthday weekend, we were given a free upgrade to a balcony suite which was an amazing experience. The hotel itself is in a brilliant location with great views of the Thames and central London, all the popular landmarks are within a 20 minute walk. I’d like to particularly thank William who made this all possible!

We recently stayed at Sea Containers to celebrate my mother’s belated 70th birthday, and once again, it was a truly wonderful experience. We have been regular guests at the hotel for some time now, and we absolutely love everything about it, the beautiful rooms, the fantastic location, and the excellent breakfast. It really is a fabulous hotel, made even more special by its brilliant staff. There is, however, one person in particular who deserves a very special mention, and that is Lamesh. Over the years, we have come to know him well, and he is an absolute gem. In many ways, he is one of the main reasons we return year after year. Lamesh is simply outstanding, always greeting us with the warmest smile and the kindest welcome every single time we visit. What makes him even more special is how well he remembers our children, who did not join us on this occasion but absolutely adore him just as much as we do. His warmth, generosity, and genuine care are a real credit to the hotel and make every stay feel incredibly personal and memorable. We are already booking to return later this year, this time with our children, and they are so excited, not only to enjoy the amazing hotel again, but also to see Lamesh. We all had a fantastic time, and my mother absolutely loved her first experience at Sea Containers. It remains a place we will continue to return to year after year for our special weekend breaks.
