Hilton London Hyde Park

We stayed here for 1 night and I was a little dubious after reading some of the reviews on here but I didn't need to worry.

I booked this hotel for it's location (20 mins walk through Hyde Park to the Albert Hall or around 30 minutes to Harrods).

When I booked online, I had the option to add a request (although requests are not guaranteed). I asked for a room overlooking Hyde Park if possible.

When we got to the hotel we were told our room wasn't ready (despite being there 45 minutes after the time the rooms are supposed to be ready).

The lady at the desk offered us a complimentary drink in the hotel bar while our room was prepared. We took her up on her offer and sat and chilled out in the bar for around 15 minutes before someone came in to say our room was ready.

We were on the 2nd floor which we were told has been recently refurbished and indeed when we got to our room it overlooked Hyde Park.

I'd just booked a basic room but it was really nice. Contemporary in design, and spacious enough for 2. Also it was not noisy as some have said on here. We live in the country and were expecting to hear loud traffic all night but we were pleasantly surprised.

We had a lovely stay. The room was clean, the staff were very helpful, the breakfast was really tasty and we will definitely go back!

I booked the London Hilton Hyde Park mainly for it's location, knowing the standards of accomodation would be somewhat acceptable (rare to find in London!) and at a reasonable price.

Well, the room was cozy, even though I got two twin beds even though I had asked and booked for a king bed. Nonetheless, breakfast was probably good though overpriced. So went for a coffee outside the hotel instead. When travelling by tube one can get pretty easy access from the hotel, as the location is quite good! That was really the most enjoyable part.

Generally, I may stay at this hotel again, but I would definately look for other places as well. Nothing worse than staying at a London hotel.
