Riverview Guesthouse East London

Breakfast started with delicious fresh fruit, yoghurt and granola and was followed with a bespoke fried plate of food - a large variety of options are available to choose from, and it is prepared according to your request. The fresh filter coffee is delicious! The room we chose had its own little outdoor courtyard and we really enjoyed relaxing here in the evenings. The little bar fridge in our room was most useful, and we appreciated the safe on-site parking space. The hosts are very friendly and welcoming. This is the second time we have stayed here and we will be back.

A microwave, crockery, cutlery and glasses are available in the room, and we found this very useful. Wine glasses would have been a nice addition although not essential. (I am sure if we had asked our hosts would have provided them.)

Beautifully appointed rooms. Magnificent views over the river. Great breakfast. Wonderful hosts.

No criticisms

The host was friendly and the room was comfortable

The location was a bit of the central city

It was quiet, the room was very comfortable, the view was excellent

I contacted the guesthouse days before my arrival to tell them about late check-in. Eventually I got confirmation that that was okay. On the night I was only 15 minutes after the regular check in time (8:15 pm) and it took ages to be let in. Luckily my Uber driver was there to ring their number whilst we rang the bell at the gate. It was only after 10 minutes or so that eventually Toni appeared in her pyjamas to let us in. If t felt quite awkward. I wouldn’t go there again.
