Kingston riverside is an oasis hidden away in Kingston-upon-Thames, and boasts amazing view of the river.

When River Thames runs though Kingston... This is a view on the river at the end of Canbury Gardens, which is 18mins away from Kingston station. There's a rowing club next to it, so you would see people training or rowing. Water birds is everywhere. A small and chilling neighbour in the day, and pop music played in the night by teens who either partying on boat or in the gardens. For me, it's not worth going unless you're around Kingston. To access, walk south after exit Kingston station for 13mins till you reach the river, then go north along the river for the river view.

The check-in is a little weird having 2 receptionists in a self-check-in place. Also my booking was cancelled with no notice, but they did reinstate it - fortunately. The hotel and room is central and low cost - it had all you really need. No frills.

This hotel is lovely. In a really convenient location, out of the way enough to feel quiet, but only a 5 minute walk to tube. Staff are friendly, breakfast was decent, room was lovely and had great views.

Verified traveller

Kept waiting at reception. The bed was like sleeping on a bouncy castle. We could hear every word of conversation in the next room. Breakfast was cold and not well organised. Hot water in the room was scolding hot.
