Really nice hotel and experience. £280 for a Saturday night stay. We managed an early check in just before 1300. Plenty of room for two friends in a twin deluxe. Beds with mattress toppers, feather duvets and pillows ensured a really comfortable nights sleep. The hotel corridors were quiet. The shower room was large. Water pressure was excellent. Radio from tv played from a speaker in the bathroom. Towels were nice and big. Amenities in the room were great: tea and coffee, water and biccies, a deep fridge (with space for your own goods and no exorbitantly priced miniatures!) slippers, robe and hairdryer were all gratefully received. Twelve noon check out is a godsend, especially on a Sunday. The hotel is nice and fresh and new, despite being nearly open a decade. All staff encounters I had were really pleasant. Location is just behind the Tate Modern. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay, really. I’ll book again when I return to London.

The Hilton Bankside was a dream hotel. They present the best hotel staff I have ever encountered (including all the bigger, "fancier" hotels) I have stayed with. Check-in here was easy. They had plenty of staff and my woman (I think Mylikah) gave me a very thorough briefing of what to expect and a rundown on all the services. The very best kind of welcome with info one could want. The bed and the bedding itself was of the highest quality. The room was quiet, well lighted, insulated for sound, with great closets and a very nice, modern shower. The housekeeping and turndown service was super. Breakfast was excellent, dinners were excellent and the terrace and happy hours were generous, with stylish, comfortable seating and a great covered terrace. I had the best servers out on the terrace (one exceptional young Nepalese woman who really made happy hour happy). There is a top notch weight and treadmill room (24 hours), as well as a beautifully maintained pool area (0600 to 2200). The hotel is two steps from the Tate Modern and a wide range of convenience shopping and other shops. I had some treatments at O'Sullivan's hair/beauty salon only a three minute walk away and was very pleased. O'Sullivan's is very popular so one has to book in advance. Otherwise, the whole Bankside area presents a great neighborhood, with super easy links to the metro. A fifteen minute walk to Waterloo station, the Thames, the London Eye, the eye popping London Bridge at night, etc. This is my go to hotel from now on. I visit London several times a year and I am so happy to have found this bright, professional hotel with its exceptional staff. Management must be very pleased.

I would have liked more comfy seating on the terrace. Most tables were with stools and there was only one low-level seating area with cushions.

Very nicely decorated, clean, great size rooms, comfy beds, plenty of storage and surfaces, solid bathroom walls and doors instead of the crazy fashion for glass! Gorgeous bathroom and a shower I could have stayed in all day! The staff were efficient and more than polite, couldn’t do enough for us! Complimentary drinks on arrival and turn down service! Had a great night’s sleep, the blackout curtains are fantastic, and it was lovely and quiet! We didn’t have time to use the pool but it looked gorgeous! Great location just 2 mins walk from Tate Modern and the river!

The breakfast was the only slightly disappointing thing, could have done with some nicer fruit options and the quality of the bacon, veggie and meat sausages wasn’t great. Having said that I’m being very picky because it was fine and there was lots of choice!

Prosecco on arrival at reception Staff fabulous, very welcoming Decor and ambience excellent Pool absolutely fantastic, warm and inviting with very relaxing atmosphere. TV sound very good (LG TV) great for music in the room Overall a great place to stay The £40 Celebration Package for a room upgrade, balloons, cake and Prosecco very good value, treat yourself!

More tea/coffee/milk supplies would be appreciated. 2 fresh milk sachets per person is just ridiculous No hooks to hang swimming costumes to dry in room Lighting very dim for make up purposes

I recently stayed at the Hilton London Bankside and was quite impressed by the warm reception and the spacious, clean room. The little touches, such as complimentary prosecco at check-in, free wine, delightful fudge, and a thoughtful handbag holder for my wife, truly enhanced our experience.

However, although tasty, the breakfast lacked variety and was the same each day. It would be great to see more diverse options to start the morning. Overall, it was a lovely stay with just a slight tweak needed for breakfast.

Concierges where amazing. Very helpful with tips, summoning taxi cabs, etc. The rooms were spacious, facilities are nicely decorated and location is perfect to move around London. The whole staff were very welcoming and helpful.

Beds are not the best, you get that "there are springs under me feeling" immediately. The close design is obtuse at best, no human expects clothes hangers to be facing forward. This might have looked good on a designers' eye but it's totally impractical and just awkward. The TV/AV system inability to connect to user's accounts like Netflix, Amazon Prime, or simply allow for airplay/over the air streaming feels very early 2000s hotel. This might be a country's law limitations but it is a must to have if traveling with children.

This is the 2nd time we stayed at this hotel. Both times booked for special occasion birthdays. The staff are very friendly and we got a glass of bubbly on arrival and a congratulations card and lovely piece of cake in the room. The room and bathroom was a very good size. I liked how the plugs for hairdryers etc were on the dresser next to the mirror (something women will understand is very helpful when getting ready as so many hotels don't seem to have plugs located in convenient places). The bed was big and comfy. The swimming pool area is lovely. We were there for an overnight stay on the Friday and the pool late afternoon was so quiet we had it to ourselves for most of the time. The gin bar is excellent. They also held our bags for us the next day. A lovely place to stay over in London and you feel that they recognise a special occasion and they value your business. Would continue to go back here. They are clearly somewhere who pays attention to detail. The location is excellent, a 15 minute straight walk to the Shard and Borough Market.

The OXBO restaurant was very limited. The kind of menu where you chose something because it's the only thing you like from it so you feel you have to eat it. We would love a more varied dinner menu here and to expand on the starter and main options they have. The spa treatments (massage and facials) are very overpriced. Unfortunately the hotel has no views. You look right across to other buildings so realistically you end up keeping the curtains more closed.

The hotel ambience, cleanliness, decor was just awesome. Staff was very nice friendly and helpful. The rooms were well-maintained and comfortable, and the overall atmosphere was welcoming. The amenities provided were top-notch and the location was convenient. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a great place to stay. It truly exceeded my expectations in every way. A fantastic experience overall!

Nothing

A beautiful hotel. The room was spotless and the bed was comfy. Great location, close to Borough markets and the Tate Modern, but quiet with no noise from traffic. Breakfast was great and they accommodated vegetarian and coeliac dietary requirements well. We received a glass of prosecco on arrival and a cake and card delivered to the room once we had checked in, to celebrate my Mum's birthday.

Small points to note - No mirror in the bedroom for getting ready, other than in a Hairdryer box. & The pool could have been warmer.

The staff were very friendly at all times of day. We received a welcome soft toy fox the first night, play pack and the use of fox blanket - that we had to buy as my daughter fell in love with it. The swimming pool facilities were excellent. Breakfast was excellent. Housekeeping came every evening to do a turn down service / need anymore towels. Marcel was very friendly welcoming us on arrival and every day through our stay. Mitchell was equally friendly to me and my daughter. I have already recommended the hotel to friends & family. Prefect location next to the tube to get around.

The fridge in the room was noisy
