This location was great! The room was large and included a kitchenette as well as washer/dryer. We got one with two bathrooms which was amazing with a kid on the pull out coach. The AC was freezing cold which was the best since we were there when it was 94-97 degrees.

The staff was friendly and helpful, even when we had a 1 am false fire alarm… which we can laugh at now.

Public transportation was easy to get. We just walked up to Saint Paul’s and caught whatever we needed.

This location is close to a lot of things. Tower Bridge, globe, restaurants boroughs market

I highly recommend

A bit hard to find, on a small back street near the Globe Theater.
Spacious, modern room, quiet and peaceful place steps away from Borough Market, which is vibrant and heaving with people.
Really enjoyed my stay, but 2 thing to be aware of:
There is no phone in the room to contact the front desk, and no clock of any sort.
Which I found strange.
Also, no fire escape map on the door, like there is in every other lodging I have ever stayed in.
I got up at 3 am to find the fire escape myself, for peace of mind.

Also, no on site restaurant or convenience store. Steps from nice little cafe and Starbucks if you need one...

That said, I would definitely stay here again. Good job, Native Bankside!!

I have stayed here before, and would recommend it in general. What I did not appreciate were the repeated check in messages that said action needed, click to pay. I had already prepaid through Expedia. The hotel is part of a chain called Numa, and Expedia and Numa seemed to be jockeying for info about check in. Annoying. Staff were great. A/C was great. Especially during the heat wave. Bathroom was very clean but wood floor was not especially clean. Some kind of nuts or seeds were present.

A bit of dusting in the room, perhaps, AC filter needs to change more often or consider using commercial grade vacuum cleaner. As for the bathroom sink, it is too small or the sink faucet should be replaced to a smaller one to fit the sink. As for the shower floor, a curbless shower floor design provides a wow factor but it is not ideal for daily usage due to drainage issue.

The suite was spacious, quiet & clean. The kitchen well equipped. But no outlet near a mirror to dry your hair, the bathroom was SO narrow and the shower soaks 1/2 the bathroom. The a/c was freezing or off and the lights are on or off for the whole suite (can’t have the lights on in the living room without having them on in the bedroom).

Keep in mind they don’t clean or make the bed daily though they empty the trash and provide new towels. Overall it was OK but not great. The folks at the front desk were nice, but seemed disorganized. Our room keys stopped working 4 times during our week long stay and I was told \"the colleagues forgot you are staying a week.\" OK- that explains once, but why did it happen every day? Nothing like coming back after long day sightseeing with sore feet to schlep upstairs and discover your room keys aren't working…. again. Pre-arrival, I received several emails requesting passport information which I explained I didn't want to submit online due to my concerns about sending this private info over email, yet didn't receive any acknowledgement. I'd add that under UK law, we aren't required to send in passport info and we may request our passports aren't photocopied. My friend ordered some things to be sent to the hotel, confirmed ahead of time this was OK with them, but was also told her packages didn't arrive even though they had. Not a big deal since she eventually received them, but still she shouldn't have had to check and recheck 2 days in a row. Location was good- close to borough Market and London Bridge tube stop. Close to the Tate Modern. They had an in room combo washer and dryer and occasionally there was no hot water in the main bathroom shower, but we had an extra bathroom so I used that one. Overall it was a meh deal and I'll stay elsewhere next time.

The hotel apartment was nice and in a good location 6min walk to the station or a 1 min walk to the ferry. The rooms are on the small side as not much room to store bags. This could be fixed if the lamp and small table removed as not need and just get in the way. This is where you could put suitcases. The thing i like was the moment something wasnt working properly it was fixed the same day or next. Would definitely stay here again

We thought the room was a great size for the area/price point. The bed was very comfortable and the kitchen was great for prepping some breakfast and making tea. The added milk in the fridge was a nice touch! We got in quite late, but the check-in was quick and easy. Our room was very quiet and we loved the blackout curtains so we could sleep in after a long journey. The filtered water in the common area was appreciated also. The staff were very friendly and helpful when we needed anything. The location is perfect to walk to many attractions like Borough Market, the Tower of London, and Tower Bridge. We took the Uber Boat (1 minute walk from the hotel) to reach more central areas like Covent Garden and Soho. We were also only a 8 minute walk from the tube to get back to the airport. We would definitely stay here again if we return to London.

I give this stay 4 stars because the location was perfect for a long weekend in the city, but if we had wanted to spend more time in our room, we would have been disappointed.

Great location as a base to explore. Walking distance to Borough market and London Bridge station. Countless food options within walking distance. Friendly and helpful front desk staff (particularly Izzy) guided us in the right direction and suggested food spots. Our room could use a touch up (various scuffs and flaked paint on walls, air vent cover was missing, etc.). The hotel could also have vending options for water, drinks, snacks, etc. You have to leave the property to pick up a drink which sucks when it’s pouring rain. All-in-all I would suggest a stay.

The room was pretty clean although with a few signs of being lived in and not cleaned properly. The bathroom sink didn't drain properly and the water never got fully cold from the tap (probably due to the cold and hot lines being next to each other). We were also woken in the night by other guests coming back to their rooms due to the walls being quite thin.

We returned to Native Bankside in January 2026 for 1 night only (previous stay was in 2019). Sadly this accommodation is not what it once was. We stayed in a One-bedroom \"Premium\" Apartment but it was anything but. The primary problems were with the condition and cleanliness of the apartment, some examples were - stained and filthy dining chairs, balls of hair on the floor, a blocked dishwasher which was smelly, a cracked cooking hob, threadbare/tatty carpets and skylight blinds (providing the only natural light in the living area) which didn't function. We were also disappointed to find that the communal pantry that was previously offered is now an empty \"lounge\". Unfortunately either time or the ownership change has not been kind to this property and we would not recommend or return.

Ok hotel but not for those seeking a gym

I selected this hotel based on the Gym facility advertised. It is a total lie. The hotel is a new modern, industrial type hotel that gives you great sized rooms, however, for them to advertise a gym, is a lie. They have a tiny room in the corner of the third floor that has only 1 rower, 1 multi workout type pulling machine and a 1 Peloton bike, that doesn’t even have a property account on it. You are expected to use your own Peloton account. Honestly, for a gym goer looking to stay here based on seeing it show up as a hotel with a gym, avoid it! If you are looking for simple accommodations with a large room, then you will be fine. Most of the staff are friendly, minus this one Asian guy that walks around with a nasty look on his face when he see’s hotel people. I am not sure why he works at an hotel if he is going to be rude. You don’t have to smile at everyone but don’t roll your eyes and act like you are better than the guests. You are there to do a job, not to be rude. He probably should be let go. Even this one older lady that was distracted on her phone when I first checked in was super sweet. However, please tell whomever you are on the phone with you will call them back if you see people coming in to check in. Haha, it is ok to fill in your time with personal calls/texts when you have down time but at check in time, please help us right away.
