Love the pool. Can fit 3 swimmers lapping. It got busy one morning around 7am. Water seems a little slightly salted.
Breakfast at OXBO is great. The salad bar, cold cut side reminded me a little of Hilton Orchard.
Executive Lounge food and wine selection are mediocre. One night, there were only purely vegetarian dishes and the guests moaned at the lack of meat! Lounge staff are very friendly though. Always going around the room to refill more wine.
I originally had reserved Hilton London Tower Bridge. So I walked there last night from this hotel just to check out the surroundings. HLTB is definitely is buzzing with more night life but I prefer the quieter side of The Bankside in the evenings.
Will stay here again in the future.
Thanks for coming back with your thoughts.
I’m here tomorrow night, booked twin guest room for myself and a mate, simply in London on a jolly and here has valet secure parking.
No upgrade yet and should arrive mid morning.
If anyone wants me to check anything specific then please holla.
Plan to use pool in afternoon and executive lounge in evening ( anyone attending please feel free to come over and introduce yourself- blue checked shirt / grey blazer/ black jeans / oxblood brogues ) .
Looking forward to this as not stayed here for a while….will do the usual live reporting!
