Hotel is modern. Rooms are huge, quiet and with black out blinds. Only downside is that we were not able to check in due to some incident, so had to drag our bags around with us on our night out.

The staff were all very welcoming and very helpful.
We loved our bar experience with cocktails and mocktails.
The breakfast buffet was amazing over our Easter break.
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.

Hotel is a construction site
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.

The property is great. Love the fox theme. Breakfast buffet was great. Staff and decor really nice.
They were doing construction on the outside of the building and drilling literally outside our window on 2 separate days. We called down and they offered us use of the executive lounge, but said there was nothing else they could do.
