Hilton London Bankside
4.4/5126 Reviews

Hilton London Bankside

London|0.85km from London South Bank University
The hotel is very classic and the rooms are large enough. During check-in time in the afternoon, there will be desserts and other items to share with guests, which is quite a surprise. The hotel dining room is also available. Overall it is good. I will choose this hotel next time I come here.
Bankside Hotel, Autograph Collection
4.7/578 Reviews

Bankside Hotel, Autograph Collection

London|1.11km from London South Bank University
Very nice stay at the Bankside hotel though not without some difficulties. We had asked for a quiet room but were placed right next to the lift lobby and opposite the water dispenser, and with hard floors throughout the lift lobby and entrance area of the rooms this meant a LOT of noise coming in the room at all hours. In fairness, the front desk tried to find an alternative but it was not what we were looking for so we opted to stay where we were and made the best of it. Aside from this everything else about the stay was great, a really lovely modern hotel with very friendly and fun staff, great breakfast (though not cheap) and good location on the South Bank. We would definitely stay here again (though ask not to be in this room location). Special mention to breakfast staff who helped get extra fruit for our toddler and concierge who gave him Christmas gifts from the tree... lovely touches.
Sea Containers London

Sea Containers London

London|1.17km from London South Bank University
Lovely 2 night weekend stay - Room immaculate and fantastic size - ample storage, seating and very large bed. Bathroom was stunning as well as functional with large shower and separate freestanding bath. Hotel had a nice ambiance to it and felt very clean. Had dinner in the restaurant on night 1 - service a little slow but burgers were fantastic. Breakfast was decent but wouldn't get too excited. Also seemed to be some tables with a la carte orders despite that not being told to everyone. Excellent location next to OXO building, right on the thames. Would stay again.
London Marriott Hotel County Hall
4.4/594 Reviews

London Marriott Hotel County Hall

Waterloo and Southwark London|1.2km from London South Bank University
We stayed at the Marriott County Hall just before the Easter weekend and had the most amazing stay! The hotel was perfect for us, it was clean, in a great location and staff were so so helpful! Every member of staff we spoke to made us feel so welcome. The bedrooms are well designed with plenty of space. The bathroom was perfect and we really liked the Molton Brown toiletries in the bathroom. We loved every minute of our stay at this hotel and couldn’t recommend it more! I really hope to return again in the future!!
Shangri-La the Shard, London
4.5/595 Reviews

Shangri-La the Shard, London

London|1.29km from London South Bank University
We stayed at Shangri-la for two nights.I can’t praise enough the staff and the hotel itself. Upon arrival, we were upgraded to an amazing city-view room. Our room was facing St Paul’s Cathedral and other famous landmarks. The views were absolutely breathtaking. I decided to use the pool and sauna. It was brilliant! Again stunning views as the pool is located on the 52nd floor. Breakfast was delicious with a great selection of cold and hot food, fruits and pastries. The facilities at the hotel are great but what makes everything perfect is the people and staff. A big thank you to duty manager Tylor and the reception staff, especially Jasmine and Andzelika, the pool attendant. You made our stay memorable.❤️
The Westin London City
3.9/553 Reviews

The Westin London City

London|1.51km from London South Bank University
Beautiful and clean hotel with wonderfully attentive staff. We booked this hotel at the last minute (arrived less than an hour after booking because our previous hotel was not what we would expect it to be,) and we were immediately relieved upon entering the Westin. It smells like a spa, the staff welcomed our tired family with juice, and after checking in, Krishna (the front desk manager at the time) provided our children with teddy bears and passport books for them to collect stamps from staff throughout the hotel. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a more welcoming arrival. The next morning we were attended to by Neal in the hotel restaurant for breakfast, and he was very kind and considerate as well. The location of the hotel is by St. Paul’s Cathedral and plenty of pubs and eateries. We were very happy with the location, cleanliness, and safety of the hotel.

Club Quarters Hotel St Paul's, London

Club Quarters Hotel St Paul's, London

London|1.77km from London South Bank University
W/End away in London. We were looking for a hotel close to the river Thames & St. Catherine’s Docks inc. Tower Bridge & St. Paul’s Cathedral. Eventually we found the Clubquaters Hotel in St. Paul’s. which was was spot on for location. The hotel was superb, great facilities, inc. a gym. the room was lovely, Reception staff were very helpful. Just off the Reception is a direct link door to the superb Cotes Restaurant, so we could start our day off with a great Full English Breakfast. Yum…Yum it was spot on! The location of the hotel is superb….St. Paul’s Cathedral right next door…a Bell Ring away….the River Thames including the famous Millennium Bridge, a short walk away. Close to St. Paul’s Underground along with city bus stops and numerous extremely convenient shops., couldn’t fault it. Spot on!
The Grand at Trafalgar Square
4.1/5106 Reviews

The Grand at Trafalgar Square

London|1.91km from London South Bank University
Good location, right next to Trafalgar Square, next to Tesco express and Macdonald. The hotel room is also large. Friendly service, you can order Chinese food with just eat. The room has a microwave. Hygiene is average, seems gray, and the bathroom has a slight odor. There is no own parking lot. There is a cooperative parking lot on the other side of the square. You can park temporarily at the door and drop your luggage before going to the parking lot. Parking is 44 pounds a day and about 37 pounds with a hotel coupon. There are actually two hotels here, one is grand and the other is cq. I booked grand but lived in Cq. I do n’t know how to arrange it. When the hotel is not busy, it is sold at 7-800, and the price is good. After all, it is close to the Thames and other attractions.
The Ned
4.3/583 Reviews

The Ned

London|1.93km from London South Bank University
Very satisfied with a hotel, worthy of this price. When I made a mistake at the time of booking, I saw that the room information showed that the facilities for the disabled were provided, and I didn’t think about it. I found that it was a special room for the disabled. It was really embarrassing. . . Before the check-in, the hotel contacted me via Ctrip and asked me about my check-in time. My answer may arrive at noon, which will be far earlier than the hotel's check-in time. The reply will be arranged according to the situation on the day. On the day of the check-in, we arrived at the hotel around 11:00 and they were all ready. Thank you very much! The hotel was originally remodeled by the bank and opened only last year, new and atmospheric. There are seven or eight restaurants in the hotel lobby, and the taste is comprehensive. Geographically, it is located in the downtown area, walking close to the hotels around the Thames, and next to the subway station. The decor of the room is completely classic British style, the details are carefully polished, very special and very like. There are no less than 20 kinds of bath products, which is extremely luxurious. I saw a comment on the book saying that the sound of the music downstairs was noisy, but the actual experience was completely unrecognizable. The sound insulation of the window was well done. The sound of the door next door was noisy. This may be the only fly in the ointment.
The Z Hotel Piccadilly

Strolling through London in the rain, Piccadilly circus tube station is just a few minutes' walk away, and Chinatown is just a few hundred meters away.
Andaz London Liverpool Street
4.6/5101 Reviews

Andaz London Liverpool Street

London|2.57km from London South Bank University
I would like to say what a wonderful time we had at this beautiful hotel over the weekend. We were only 1 night and wished we had booked more. I would especially like to thank Zaema for her happy, friendly, helpful manner. She is a credit to you and your team. Nothing was too much trouble helping with tube instructions and timings and the hand written note left in our room was an especially lovely touch.
The Dilly
4.2/547 Reviews

The Dilly

Mayfair London|2.66km from London South Bank University
The Dilly was probably amazing in the 1980's and 1990's but not much has been updated since then! We stayed in a Dilly Classic room which was perfectly fine, a good size, clean with strong Wifi. The shower was powerful and there was plenty of hot water. I know some people on this site weren't impressed by the breakfast but I thought it was great. Obviously, the location is fabulous. However, I didn't feel the room was up to five-star standard. The coffee was instant and the milk small UHT cartons. There was no fridge or mini-bar (though we were in the 'cheapest' room so may be different elsewhere). The toiletries were cheap and basic (so bring your own), there was no plug by the bed to charge devices overnight and no Blu-tooth speaker which seems to be a given now in higher-end hotels. The style of the room itself was quite dated including the landline next to the toilet which I'm sure was incredibly cool in 1986 :) Overall, if this was a three-or-four-star hotel I'd give it full marks, but as it's a five-star, (and more importantly charging five-star prices), it's lacking in some areas. I believe the hotel is currently 'between owners' which makes sense, as I guess the current owners don't want to invest and are ticking along until the new ones take over. It's not dreadful by any means, but they charge a lot for what you get.

H10 London Waterloo Hotel
4.2/5106 Reviews

H10 London Waterloo Hotel

London|0.29km from London South Bank University
The location of the hotel is a little bit biased, the surrounding area is not very busy, there are fewer supermarkets, and police cars are whizzing past in the eastern district at night. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the subway station. Disposable slippers need to be reported to the front desk, because it is high-rise, can not open the window, hotel facilities are OK.

Waterloo Hub Hotel and Suites

London|0.69km from London South Bank University
The hotel is a few minutes walk from the subway. There is a great Chinese food opposite. The front desk service is also very good. It gave me the first floor room. It feels OK, there is heating, the bed is comfortable, and the windows and doors are not very soundproof. The sound outside is very clear.
