Reviews of Native Bankside
Julie Mathien
We have stayed in Glasgow, Kings Wardrobe and Bankside Native Places and every location was excellent. The suites are very well designed (lots of storage), the food prep area and equipment are great and the staff are helpful, courteous and very pleasant. We’ll definitely use NP again. The Bankside hotel is close to a wonderful assortment of theatre and art. Julie and Tom Mathien

We had an amazing stay at Native Bankside! The location couldn't have been better. Just a short walk to iconic sights like the Tower of London, Tower Bridge, Tate Modern and the vibrant Borough Market.

We especially appreciated the fully equipped kitchen and the in-room washer/dry...

The service here was phenomenal. All of my queries were taken care of and the staff went above and beyond. One person in particular, Mohammad, assisted in ensuring we had the toiletries needed stocked in the room, that we had recommendations in the area, and also helped with providing storage for our luggage prior to move-in and upon move-out. Great place to stay.
