What guests think

At Hilton London Bankside, many guests praise the friendly service, modern comfort, and walkable South Bank location near Tate Modern and Borough Market, noting spacious rooms, strong showers, and an excellent breakfast to start the day.

Facilities such as the indoor pool and gym are appreciated, though a few guests found the pool cool. A recurring downside is ongoing exterior renovation leading to frosted or blocked windows, limited daylight, and daytime construction noise, with some wishing they had been notified in advance. Other occasional issues include dim in-room lighting, sporadic check-in or billing hiccups, and unclear parking information. Overall, expect a comfortable, well-located stay with standout staff.

Room is spacious and comfortable, great shower, fluffy robes, nespresso coffee machine, clothing steamer, nice bedding and firm but comfy bed. The hotel gym is small but excellent. Lovely pool. Excellent buffet breakfast with lots of healthy options including eggs made to order. Staff and service at the hotel was wonderful. The neighborhood was quiet but very walkable to busier areas. I would 100% stay here again.

Our room was amazing from the comfort of our twin beds to the bathroom. Chose this hotel because it had a great location, easy access to the tube station a short walk away and it had a heated swimming pool. Although I found the pool temperature a little cool and refreshing it was still a lovely addition to our stay. Thank you to all the hotel staff for making a short stay so enjoyable.

A good Hilton property. Nothing flashy or exceptional in the physical facilities. Rooms small (but it's Europe!). Breakfast buffet was very good. Location is perfect for accessing sites- an average 30 min walk to sites and right by the riverwalk and the Eye. Close to the Borough Market for restaurants. Finally, John at the concierge was absolutely fabulous with his recommendations and overall guidance. Great guy. Others at the concierge need training from him!

These glaringly positive reviews have to be fake… the hotel is a massive construction site with drilling that starts at 8 am and all the windows are closed shut with frosting on them. The beds are also the worst I’ve ever slept on in any hotel. Management let me move rooms after the first night in an attempt to have a better mattress, but the second room had old matcha poured over the bed frame and floor - I had to move a third time to a different room which also had the same mattress issue. No commercial gestures was offered, and cherry on the cake - when I asked for an invoice it became a battle. Apparently because I booked through hotels.com they were unable to issue an invoice, they managed to print one after back and forth. The only positive of Hilton London Bankside is that most of the staff are friendly. Never again.

Hilton Bankside was an excellent choice for our stay in London. The staff is very welcoming and accommodating. Hotel itself is clean, rooms are nice and of good standard. I travelled with my 6 year old daughter, and she was pleasantly surprised with a kids kit consisting of an activity book, a blanket& pillow, bathrobe with slippers and sweets. Marcel helped us with a kids treasury hunt, which was a fun experience for my daughter. We also tried the gym and the pool. Gym was excellent, well equipped. Pool was good, a bit cold and also had dust on the water which was the only negative I could point out about our stay. The location is good, I had read that the area wasn't that safe, but we didn't experience anything during our stay. Around 5 minutes walk to the tube (Jubilee line), and buses also available. Recommended!

We stayed one night as we were celebrating my birthday in London and staying at the Hilton London Brankside made it feel really special. The room was large, very clean and beautifully appointed. The bed was super comfortable and we had the surprise of finding it “turned out” with slippers and Good night paper mat by the side, when we got in after our celebrations. We found out the sound proofing was really good because there was a crying baby next door and only realised once in the corridor. I would very happily stay again and the location is very good too.

Our time here was pleasant the breakfast buffet was delicious and the bar served a delicious dinner. The only area of Improvement is the bed itself. The mattress was very firm and is a coiled bed. The pillows were also very flat and were uncomfortable especially after a long day being out sightseeing. Any movement on the bed at night could be heard with the coils in the mattress. Other than that very quiet and clean. We were on the 4th level.

The hotel is lovely and modern, staff were friendly and professional. Cleanliness and in particular the bathroom were great. My only real criticism (and apparently I’m not the first) is the overly frosted glass in the room/sealed windows. Windows being sealed at a hotel is nothing new, sometimes however the option to let fresh air in is appreciated. However the real irritant was the frosted windows to point that basically no natural light can penetrate the room. I’m not asking for an amazing view, but I shouldn’t have to be turning on all the lights at 9am because it’s perpetually dark due to the windows. I would (and probably will) stay here again, however I’d have to enquire about window situation.

The building was under construction—the drilling started at 8:30 each morning on the wall behind us. Absolutely no ability to sleep. I spoke to the front desk about it and they said “sorry.” The room had no windows. They were blacked out—this should have been explained, who ever heard of a hotel room with no windows???? This was one of the worst hotel experiences ever. At the price and it being a Hilton, we could not believe it. Truly awful. We should get a credit or something.

The best hotel I’ve ever had the pleasure of staying in. Staff are always so welcoming and friendly. Received such great service upon arrival, throughout our stay and departure. When the receptionist found out it was my partners birthday she requested a complimentary desert to be sent to our room, which was so kind! And they allowed us to have a slightly later checkout, which we greatly appreciated. Rooms are spacious and spotless. Venue is amazing! Stayed here on 4 separate occasions now and would definitely come back whenever I need a safe place to stay in London.

Extremely poor experience during my stay from Feb 23, 2023 to Mar 05, 2023. They made several preauthorizations on my credit card during the stay period, but most of them have not been released even after more than 1 month of full payment clearance. I have sent multiple reminders to them over email but they still don't bother to have minimum courtesy of following up, forget resolving the issue.

If you are thinking of staying in London, this is the place. You can thank me later.

Our stay was comfortable and a good experience however, two things really let the hotel down. The availability of food/snacks in the exec lounge was poor compared to when I stayed 4 years ago. Definitely scaled back as last time we had breakfast in the exec lounge and therefore didn’t pay the additional money for breakfast, now from what I saw they only really have food available in the evening so we had to pay additional £40 a night for breakfast for 2 people. At checkout I queried the bill as I had seen amounts taken from my account already whilst we were there, and although this was explained and resolved the front of house manager didn’t even ask how our stay was or wish us a good onward journey… just absolutely nothing which to me is rude and unacceptable. I stay at Hilton’s a lot and this was well off the level of expectation I have for front of house staff

Spacious room, (after London standards), comfortable bed, nice and modern bathroom. Overall a very pleasant stay at the hotel! We did not book with breakfast, as there are small grocery stores nearby and cafees. (Our one experience with the in-house restaurant was below average, a.o. they were not able to accommodate more complex dietary requirements).
