My Amex Marriott card has a nice Spend \u00a3250 Get \u00a3100 back<\/em> offer for booking Marriott hotels, so I’m ready to try out another new Marriott hotel in London. I need to be near the Shard for dinner (burning my expiring Shangri-La voucher), so the Bankside Hotel<\/a> stands out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel is roughly 8 minutes from either the Blackfriars or the Southwark tube station. The south bank is perfect for walking along the Thames and exploring the likes of Tate Modern, Tower Bridge and London Eye, but not as convenient in terms of public transport.<\/p>\n\n\n

The hotel is new and chic.<\/p>\n\n\n

Titanium members get 1,000 points as a welcome amenity, and can choose between breakfast and an \u00a38 F&B voucher in addition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All guest floors feature a vending machine, plus a refill station with both still and sparkling water.<\/p>\n\n\n

I received a one-level upgrade to an Ample room, which isn’t particularly generous. I submitted my suite night award for the largest suite, but it was unfortunately declined.<\/p>\n\n\n

The room is pretty smart. <\/p>\n\n\n

Popcorns, bottled water and a small chocolate bar are complimentary. There’s also a small plate of deserts as my welcome gift.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Breakfast is served in the restaurant on the ground floor.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

The buffet is good.<\/p>\n\n\n

You can pay a \u00a35 supplement for the a-la-carte items, which is a fair price.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

I like the hotel and its location. However, being a boutique hotel it has no gym, pool or club lounge. If those are important you should probably consider the Hilton<\/a> instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
