Entrance to the Trafalgar is tucked away and not obvious. No Hilton signage, which is in keeping with the location. Booked one night while entertaining the relatives. Used my Hilton Honours points.

You could not get a more central location for exploring London, and with a fantastic roof top terrace view. Despite being in such a hustling location the rooms were quiet and undisturbed by outside noise. The odd guest room doors slamming in the night was a slight annoyance but not a major gripe. The staff were all friendly and very... More

Visited Vista bar in May with 2 girlfriends. Lovely spot for evening cocktails, taking in the views of the London Sky line. Not cheap (also £5 entrance cover) but very much worthwhile for the ambience. Not much else to compare to this in central London. More

We stayed at the Trafalgar Hotel for 5 nights in March, 2012. I have never before rated a hotel 5 stars, until our stay at the Trafalgar. The hotel is in a perfect location - right on Trafalgar Square, walking distance to many places, and easy access to bus lines for sites that are further away. The service, in every... More

We have stayed at Hilton properties throughout the States and worldwide and found this property to be excellent. The front desk staff should also be applauded on their attentiveness and willingness to assist in most any way. The rooms are also up to date and very comfortable. Location is also very good for most all central activities with Charring Cross... More

The rooms were clean and well presented, the staff were helpful and polite. This hotel is located directly across from Trafalger Square and right in the heart of London.

Three of us stayed in three separate rooms in late April, on different floors. We are women "of a certain age". Overall, the stay was fine and there were no major problems. The location is great, offering short walks to Buckingham Palace, theatre, Parliament, museums, Covent Garden, etc. It was not, however, the experience I expected for a "high end"... More

I spent a weekend in this hotel with a friend. I have to say, we got the room on rewards point so we did not spent the 300£ that was applicable.
