2nd time staying here. Genuinely love staying, room fantastic, restaurant and breakfast fantastic. The real thing that makes it is the staff, every single one makes the experience worth it. My only grumble would be on arrival on both occasions had to wait for the room, this time just over an hour, but again staff couldn't have apologised more but to happen twice is a little disappointing. All that being said its still 5 stars from me.

The hotel is lovely and a great location on the South Bank. I’ve stayed twice. There was a small issue with service each time where it fell below expectations and their standards, however, when raised to the guest services team they addressed it immediately, which shows they care about their guests. Great spa and gym. Still and sparkling water available on each floor. Very walkable and easy access to several tube and train stations. Dive stayed here twice and would stay again.

Sea Containers has a fantastic location, a great atmosphere, and exceptionally friendly staff. However, the technology was a letdown during our stay. Features like adding the room key to a phone and accessing hotel menus via the TV didn’t work. We had a late flight to Australia, and while the hotel kindly extended our checkout time by an hour, the process was frustrating—when I called to request it, the voicemail directed me to use the app, which no longer functions. If the tech is a recent addition, it may just be experiencing teething issues, but unfortunately, it fell short during our visit.
