Just an overnighter while attending an event in London. The hotel is in need of updating to feel more part of the current Hilton brand as it's feeling tired inside now. Staff were friendly, food was acceptable, but not good. Just needed somewhere to sleep really, and this was OK.

There should be improvements on the followings: Wall papers are coming off along the hallway to rooms. Bathroom should be modernized removing those dangerous baths to most modern cubicles. Lobby toilet doors should be replaced or sprayed Thanks

Arrived just before lunch, check in time 3pm, checked in straight away. The receptionist asked why were were visiting, my daughter said, it's Mum's birthday. 20 mins later there was a knock on the door and the receptionist and another staff member stood outside with a bottle of wine, 2 glasses and a card and sang Happy Birthday! What a lovely surprise! Lovely hotel, we only stayed 1 night, price was very reasonable considering some places we have stayed in London which were terrible were the same price! Plenty of space in the room, well lit, clean and quiet. Convenient for the tube. Would definitely stay here again.
