Had an excellent stay at Sea Containers London for 5 nights. The room was spacious and comfortable with a great view of the River Thames, the breakfast was also good and the cocktails at Lyaness were outstanding. A special thanks to Sergiu for being so friendly and helpful to us and the bellmen and security team for making us feel welcome throughout our stay. I'd stay here again and highly recommend it
