8/10 Very good

Comfy room very good breakfast
Kenneth, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room & bed was comfortable, spacious and great views over the river Wyre. Check in was straight forward and very quick with easy parking. Breakfast was a little disappointing. Service wasn’t great. No smiles and it looked like all the waiting staff were fed up. Despite taking our orders promptly, our breakfasts came but with no tea that they had simply just forgotten about. Despite serving us our food, they didn’t notice there wasn’t anything to drink. Yet when we looked around everyone else got their tea or coffee before the food- so shows they are not attentive and just robotically serving. The food was ok but just average. But all in all it was a comfortable stay and the pricing is competitve.

2 night stay

Just a 2 night stay. Small room with a small bath room. Plenty drawers and hangers enough plug sockets but no usb outlets. Breakfast is ok no more. Restaurant food is very very good and not silly prices. Overall we loved our stay small room but short of nothing with good but small shower. We will stay again but the restaurant is worth a visit

VERY ENJOYABLE

My friend time at the Shard Riverside and it won’t be my last. Nice comfortable room, amazing view (did book a room with a river view), breakfast cooked to order and was superb, friendly efficient staff. What’s not to like.
Barbara, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

Not bad

The room was a little dusty and shabby round the edges, especially the bathroom.
1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Ok location, uncomfortable bed and poor cleaning.

Had booked two nights. Room was ordinary with a view to the carpark and a partial view to the river,m. The bed was quite uncomfortable - fairly narrow and hard. After the first night we did have someone in the room - apparently to clean it… but the trash bag was left on the bed, the towels had not been replaced, and the desk has not been cleaned. So not sure what they did (apart from moving the trash bag from the bin to the bed). The breakfast was ok. Cereals, juice, etc. and a choice between pancakes, an English breakfast or a vegetarian breakfast. Location was nice - next to the tidal river and close to where we needed to be.

1 night stay the the Shard Riverside

Business stay for 1 night. Evening meal was great as was the huge breakfast. Unfortunately the wifi was extremely poor, which for a business trip is not good, room was not very clean and only handwash in the bathroom
Mr A S, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great if you like a firm (Hard) bed.

Fantastic place to stay, great breakfast. My only issue was that the bed in room 19 is very hard. Room spotless and everything else about the stay 1st class.
Steve, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

one night business trip. Bed extremely uncomfortable and have shared this with hotel. Was very expensive for a one night stay at this hotel but have been told that i booked for 2 people instead of one which made the cost higher
Caroline, 1-night trip

stunning views

The location was incredible and I'd like to return when not away with work. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was also well prepared and tasty.

Lovely hotel

Lovely hotel with excellent food at dinner and breakfast. Could explain things better at check in eg breakfast times
Phillipa, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff were very nice and helpful. Room and bathroom could do with a redecoration as it was quite run down. Lovely breakfast but I think the cost of the room was a little pricey for what it was.
