- Fitness center
Our take
The Waldorf Hilton is the historic option among hotels reachable from Waterloo: a 1908 landmark near The Savoy and Temple, a river crossing away. The grand restaurant and two elegant bars give it real character, and the fitness and business centres cover a work trip. An 8.8 score from more than 4,400 reviews is strong. Choose it for atmosphere rather than for a quick hop to the platforms.
- Explore the immediate area on foot; The Savoy and Temple are very close.
- Consider the breakfast options available, as it is an additional cost.
- Take advantage of the fitness center for a workout during your stay.
Why we love it

Why guests love itThe Waldorf Hilton London, a landmark hotel from 1908, is listed as family-friendly and offers refined rooms, a grand restaurant and two bars. There is no pool, so I see it as a base for families who plan to spend their days out in the West End, with the Savoy and Temple a short walk away. The fitness centre suits parents keeping up a routine. Rated 8.8 by more than 4,400 guests, it fits a classic London stay.
