My stay at Emporium Hotel South Bank was a mix of highs and lows. The spacious River City King Suite provided stunning views and was equipped with a lovely bathroom featuring a spa tub. However, the service was inconsistent, with housekeeping often delayed, and dining didn't quite live up to luxury expectations. Overall, it was nice but not as splendid as I hoped.

7.4/10

While the Emporium Hotel South Bank has a stunning aesthetic and a prime location near all the attractions, my experience was overshadowed by service shortcomings. The staff lacked efficiency at the restaurant, and room service left much to be desired with incorrect and lukewarm orders. On top of that, housekeeping seemed to struggle with basic tasks. I appreciated the beautiful surroundings, but it was hard to enjoy them given the frustrating service issues I encountered.

Dining

5.0

Dining options fell short of expectations, with the quality of food not justifying the price at the restaurant. Room service was often incorrect, and breakfast service was alarmingly slow.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel offers numerous facilities, but their effectiveness depended on the staff's attention to detail, which seemed lacking during my stay.
