This was my first visit to London and I wanted to stay at a hotel that was comfortable and only required one bus to get to work. I found that hotel. It is not, as others have said, a "pretty" hotel on the outside, but since I don't sleep on the outside, I was not concerned about that. I arrived... More

Stayed here for two nights on a Superbreak package deal (paid for out of the compensation from the hideous Travelodge we stayed in two months previously on our last London trip.....read my other review...), and I decided to put my trust in the Hilton name. After all nothing could possibly go wrong, could it?? For those of you that don't... More

Only reason stayed at this hotel is its proximity to the Business Design Centre. We booked and paid for 3 double rooms for 3 nights in advance and in full.

A disappointing stay. First the good points: for London the price was reasonable the rate included breakfast the hotel wasn't far from the Underground. Now, the not so good: the toilet wouldn't flush the bathtub was not clean the controls on the heating didn't work and couldn't turn the heat down the internet in the rooms didn't work and they...

Hilton Islington - situated a short walk from LU station Angel on Upper St - is not the fanciest Hilton hotel I ever stayed in but we got a great deal and we are more than pleased. Islington is a lovely area and there are loads of nice things to see and do just a few minutes away by bus... More

Stayed here for 5 nights on business recently in a club room and overall I would recommend the hotel. First the bad points: 1. Over priced wifi, £59 for 5 days! Most hotels offer free wifi now, the wifi is fast though and has a good upload speed. 2. The hotel disable use of the TV's HDMI port so I... More

April 7 2012 -Food excellent, a wide array of breakfast options from a quality full english, pancakes and/or omelettes cooked while you wait, to a variety of fresh fruit and cereals; accompanied by croissants and toasted breads. Filter coffee and other hot drinks. But before we started we were provided a flute of champagne each. An ideal start to a... More

I have been staying here for at least 4 days every month since November. The service is a joke. The staff is rude, lazy and unfriendly. The ice machines NEVER work. The breakfast is way over priced and not that good. Every time I left here I hoped it would get better, nope. The beds are very hard, and some... More

To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. The heater didn't work, TV didn't work, the bed felt like a bx spring (boy did my back hurt)... and to top it all off, I was treated like rubbish. A talk with the manager got me nowhere. Please understand I am a reasonable person, very easy to deal with, so... More
