Don't book the iconic city view room if you're planning on getting a bath with a view, this is very conveniently a mark-up item once you've completed your booking.
Rooms are nice, Japanese toilets and washrooms are a high standard.
Area around the Shard is London bridge, which is famously not terrific as an area, especially as far as safety goes.
The hotel will charge you a £200 pre-authorisation as you check in, and there is a bag check and ID check so ensure the name on your booking is the same as your ID.
The view is obviously great, but it's a high price to pay specifically for the view.
Additionally, I booked on the incorrect date, and neither Expedia nor the hotel were willing to refund the booking or even amend the dates to when I had planned. Which is a pretty big fud especially when you're dropping multiples of thousands of pounds for a few nights.
TING Restaurant tasting menu is not great.
GONG Bar also not the best cocktails, notably the Applause cocktail (clap for NHS workers) is pretty tone-deaf, but what can you expect of patrons who don't spend their lives with the rest of us on the ground in the real world.
