Needs decor updated

Hotel staff very pleasant. Breakfast very good.We had a squeaky bed every time I turned.Got back late so didn’t bother to ring reception. Only stayed one night. Decor needs sorting out. We used Tesco points to pay so maybe that’s why we didn’t get a good room. I would come back again but would ask for a different room next time. I’m sure they would of changed room but we didn’t get back till after midnight.

Pleasant Stay But...

I stayed for 4 days. My stay was pleasant. The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. The only thing that I wish would have been different was the ability to check in early. After a full day of traveling from the US and an issue with my ankles swelling, it would have been nice to check in early to shower and elevate my legs. There was a lobby full of travelers and I found it odd that meraculously at exactly check in time we were all told rooms were then available.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
We’re generally a fan of Hilton hotels however this one needs a little tlc, location wise it’s excellent right next to Shephard’s bush tube, Westfield shopping and a short walk from Kensington gardens, however the rooms need modernising as there are no usb points, our plug sockets by the desk were actually pushed into the wall, the shower was grubby with age and if you’re a tall person of around 6,2 in the particular room we were in you are showering with your head constantly at an angle, this does however seem to be reflected in the price.
