I was in London for a conference and I thought to stay at a Hilton, as I usually quite satisfied with what a Hilton Hotel has to offer. I was totally wrong in this case. You could find so many better hotels for a sim...

I was traveling in London on a personal vacation and found this hotel as a great deal. The room was clean and well kept during my stay. However, it is far from being centrally located to anything of importance. The hotel and area are geared to business profession...

Very Adequate Room and Good Service - user review
Like all London hotels, the room was rather on the small side. The shower and bathroom fixtures, however, were very nice. In fact, it was the first time I have had a decent shower in Europe. The room was always clean, although there were a few spots where it co...

A bit out of the way - user review
The hotel and staff were fine but the location is a nuisance. There were no restaurants that we liked within walking distance and the tube stations are inconveniently located. The closest is Kensington Olympia whose trains run only occassionaly since they make only three stops. We much prefered the ...

For a London hotel it was wok, I guess. I'd never stayed in London before so not much to compare to. The halls were narrow and a maze I felt I was in a fire trap, no window to the outside, just to an enclosed dusty hole. The concierge was very helpful as...

Hotel was convenient to the tube. The outside looks very drab. The staff tried to be helpful but mislead us several times in telling us where places were which resulted in our walking many unnecessary miles. We were upset that they charged us $14.00 for a candy bar and drink from the minifying which...

I rated the hotel a 3 star because I thought the rooms were small, otherwise it would be a 4 star. I understand this is typical for European hotels. They did upgrade me from a very small room with twin beds to a larger room with a king size bed which was too big for the room. They also gave me a com...

It's too far away to be really central (20#/cab ride), it's too close to the center to have decent parking fees (30#/24 hrs). Plumbing of shower and sink was defunct; ceiling in the bathroom was way to low. The room was noisy with machine operating sounds in the morning. The room service is incredib...

Not up to standards of other Hiltons but they have done the best they can with the physical space they are working with. It is an old 60'sstyle building, with a small lobby, and old fashioned hallways. The have updated the rooms with nice lined and fabrics, but need to work on the furniture and curt...

The Hilton Olympia London is a very nice hotel. It is a little out of the way if you are a tourist looking to see the London sites though. The staff was very nice and helpful and the rooms modern and clean. The bed was too firm for my liking however. There is a bus stop close to the hotel but the cl...

The hotel is a complete disaster. Every weekend they have this loud music that can be heard in all lower level rooms. The music continues till 2 am. People in my neighboring room were loud and drunk. They banged on the walls, and harassed every one on that floor. We call the manager. They simply did...

The hotel itself is ok, nothing to complain about helpful and friendly staff, clean room with all needed facilities and a nice bed. However, we don't think it's really 'Hilton worthy'. From a Hilton hotel we'd expect something more I don't know 'class The location of the hotel is not very convenient...

The hotel should really be rated 3 stars for the facilities and services. The lobbies and room were not clean, especially the carpets. We had a lamp shade in our room that had been burned almost through from the bulb on both stays. (Same room one month apart). The restaurant was very expensive. 17.5...

The rooms are terrible, no AC, unhelpful staff, dirty accommodations, overall very unhappy with this hotel. This was the third hotel we stayed at on our trip to Europe, and this was by far the most expensive and by far the dirtiest, worst accommodations. It felt like a glorified youth hostel. We do ...

This hotel was a solid 3 star hotel; the rooms were clean, nicely appointed but small compared to American standards. The room had a desk and chair but no where else to sit and relax.
