I cannot praise Native enough. This was our third stay (first as a couple, second time on a business trip, now with a one year old toddler) and Native delivered each time. We used to live in London and the location is fantastic - five minutes walking distance to Borough Market and a minute away from the river Thames. Our toddler crawled all around the place and can attest to the cleanliness of the floors and surfaces. The kitchen was very well organised and had all the right equipment for a nutritious meal in. And finally most importantly the staff was fantastic from the start to the end and even after! I had some random delivery arrive after we left and they were so accommodating and professional about it. We will be back and highly recommend this place.

Everything was top notch.

The location was superb for sightseeing London Icons by just walking along the Thames from Native Bankside. Ferry terminal at the doorstep, hop on hop off bus stop nearby, also close to various Tube stations, the Borough market restaurants & pubs. The staff were wonderful, facilitating a very early check-in which was much appreciated after a full day flight and very helpful with information. Facilities were everything we needed for comfort with addition of cooking facilities and a washer/dryer. The property is a warehouse reno so no views except the lanes and building next door but the convenience of the location made up for this.

Nothing

I stayed with my son at the Native Bankside in London for three nights in August 2025, and I can honestly say it exceeded every expectation. Having had more than a few questionable hotel experiences in London, I arrived a little wary—but from the moment we walked in, I knew this place was different. The entire property is immaculate: spotless, well-organized, and designed with real care. Our room was surprisingly spacious by London standards, fresh, modern, and perfectly laid out. Everything felt new and impeccably clean. The internet was not just “good for a hotel”—it was genuinely fast and rock-solid reliable, which made a big difference for us. Though we didn’t make use of every amenity, it was reassuring to know they were there, and everything in the room was thoughtfully equipped, well-maintained, and fully functional. The attention to detail is obvious everywhere. What really sets Native Bankside apart, though, is the people. The staff were warm, professional, and genuinely welcoming. At reception, Mohammed and Hamza in particular went above and beyond—they were attentive, helpful, and always friendly, which made the stay feel personal rather than transactional. After years of trial and error in London hotels, I can confidently say I’ve found my go-to place. Native Bankside is excellent in every respect, and I look forward to returning.

There is nothing to complain about.

The aparthotel is great, loved the location, staff was fantastic. Room was pretty well laid out, just a few issues. There is a small kitchenette, if you have dry goods there is no place to put them, not a lot of area to prep either. A small shelf in bathroom would go along way, hard to access toiletries as we stayed for 7 nights, no real area to put them. I had an issue with my phone, has basically no cell service, the hotel is a old warehouse, brick and concrete, which meant we I could not use my personal hotspot… WiFi was ok. I had to go to the gym to make a personal call. There is a lounge on floor 1, but it’s not private. A few little upgrades to the room ( a few shelves) and it would be perfect! Microwave great and fridge space was fantastic….the washer machine in the room was such a dream… I will try another Native in the city, try to stay in different areas when we go back to London, to learn more of the city….

We booked 2 One Bedroom apartments for Us and our friends. We were given a disabled room - which was great as it was so big! The other apartment was pretty small so i would bare that in mind if looking at the apartments. The location was fantastic! 5 minute walk to Borough Market and right on the Thames. Apartment was lovely and cool and had everything you would need and more to stay there - you could easily stay there for a week no problem.

There was only 1 mirror in the apartment and it didnt have any plugs around it! So being a woman who used hairdryers and straighteners it wasnt practical - i have to straighten my hair using the glass of the cooker! Also as the bathroom was a disabled one there was no where to put any toiletries at all, needs a shelf in there. These are just picky things as we did like the accommodation.

The location is great…able to walk or ride bike to all touristy spots. London bridge, St.Pauls cathedral, West Minster Abbey, Parliament/Big Ben, Buckingham Palace, Churchill war room, Borough market. The room itself was thoughtfully laid out, we did just take carry on so used the washer dryer. We also loved it had a fridge for yogurt and fruit , boiled eggs , easy to have light breakfast in room. It is close to hustle and bustle but so quiet inside the room, tucked away on quiet alley. Friendly desk staff.

This is my own directional challenges after long flight…I found it difficult to find. Called and staff was able to direct me over the phone.

The hotel is great. It is in a lovely location, close to the Thames Path, Tate Modern, Shakespeare’s Globe, Borough Market. Easy access to other areas by Tube and train. Quiet setting in an atmospheric cobbled street. It’s also a really nicely converted and renovated building. Stylish interiors, comfortable rooms, good facilities in the rooms (fridge, washing machine, hot plate etc). The beds are amazing - best mattress ever. Staff are great: friendly, helpful and thoughtful, especially Hamzah.

Can’t think of anything!

What a delightful surprise! A modern and stylish apartment with a fully equipped kitchen. The check-in was incredibly friendly. We stayed as a family and had a spacious living room with a sofa bed, a separate bedroom, and two bathrooms. Everything was brand new, fresh, and spotless.

The view from the window wasn’t exactly the most exciting, as there was just a solid building opposite. Of course, this isn’t a criticism — it’s just that those looking for an exceptional view might be a little disappointed. The living area only had a skylight.

Excellent location right next to the Tate Modern, and close to a host of public transport options. Our welcome by Hamza at the front desk was warm, friendly and efficient -- he arranged a room for us well ahead of our check-in and oriented us on the facilities. Our room was the best part: spacious, modern, very stylish and extremely comfortable. I had the sleep of ages on the wide and comfortable bed; mood lighting and temperature control were touch-button, no hiccups there. I would totally stay here again and wished we'd stayed longer!

More coffee stocked in the kitchenette would have been appreciated

The location was fantastic. Right on Southbank area of the Thames, making it easy to walk everywhere. Blackfriars train station is also a 5 minutes walk away, and the underground is over the bridge easily walkable. We found the accommodation easily and was quiet over the NYE dates we were there. The lady at check-in was friendly and super helpful ( I think her name was Yvonne ) You have many restaurants all in an easy walking distance. The accommodation itself was asthectically lovely (Premier Studio ). The amenities in the room were brilliant and had the bonus of a washing/dryer machine, which saved us hunting around for a launderette. Also, you can cook for yourself if wanted, and it was nice to be able to buy breakfast stuff to make in the room.The bed was comfortable, and the room was lovely and clean. The room was warm, and there was no need to use the heaters. I found the price reasonable, compared to hotels in the area and the amenities the room had, especially as it was booked last minute and over NYE.

The only downside for us was the constant air flow sound in the room. I am a light sleeper and use earplugs. But sitting in the room in the day, the constant background noise got annoying. Bar this I still would highly recommend the property as maybe this doesn't affect people it was only our downside.
