The hotel had a great location. Very clean room. Good breakfast. However my room was very small. The swimming pool is small and doesn’t look the same as on the photo. The water in the pool seems to be not clean enough. Overall the hotel is overpriced.

The peninsula is the peninsula, and there is nothing to say about the service. I booked the hotel according to the instructions and later asked if I was satisfied. The reply was that the hotel was quite big and although the room I was assigned was quite far away, everything else was very good.

Our Couple Short Vacation here in UK was perfect-- hotel was the best starting point for first-timers like us!
All walking distance to center of action and tourist sites-- Big Ben, Eye, Abbey, etc. Shops and restaurants are abundant-- all around is commercial high end location-- but so many affordable places to go too and really safe feel everywhere.
The staffs are all helpful and pleasant. Currently under renovation so hopefully the place would even look more upgraded after the constructions.

AAnonymous User2024.09.21
The hotel claims itself as four-starred standard but to me, they just provide a three-starred service. First, no fridge was provided in the room unless upon request, and the fridge was not cold enough which made the milk rotten. Secondly, water coming from the shower head was weak and was not hot enough. Third, I found yellowish stain on one of the pillows. Most of the personal items, such as slippers, comb could only be provided upon request. Finally, tissue was not refilled after room cleaning on the last day of stay. Apart from the above, the hospitality service was fine.

Recep service - the lady who served us during the check-in appeared very disinterested and took a long time to locate the booking. the same lady who took the laundry on the second day still appears the same. maybe it's a job fit issue or.. a ****** issue? who knows.
the other recep who served us other times were friendly though. in fact, we made a mistake with our booking as we thought we were only leaving the next day, which was in fact not, the manager that day was nice enough to allow us enough time to pack up without charging us.
Housekeeping - the first housekeeping was not exactly up to standard of an international branding. what was used was not replaced, PJs where just thrown aside as the beds were made. however, the next day housekeeping was good.
Room - we told the recep in the evening that the room lobby lights were not working, as they did not have maintainence guy on duty at night, they arrange for the next day. it was promptly attended to the next day.

The hotel is in Camden and close to a lot of restaurants and bars. Easy walk to the tube although becareful not to mix it up with the Wesley in Euston like I did. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Every thing seems newly refurbished and there are additional hot drinks available at reception. I had a slight problem with the bed but the staff member was appreciative of the feedback. Very positive stay. I'll consider this hotel next time I come to London

Outstanding
MMaha AlshihaOur stay here was wonderful! The room was spacious, clean, had wide windows with a beautiful view from two sides with blinders that we can close at night.. the service was great, the food was good as well and the Thai restaurant at floor 1 was delicious! I love everything here and I would definitely visit again
AAndy NooGreat location close to Kings cross /St pancreas Station and not far from attractions, its 2 hotels in 1 that is predominantly used as a transit hotel for overseas tourist on day trips. The hotel is clean, and you need a room key card for the lift to move and also to get to the corridors of your room so security is good.
Downsides are that outside noise enters easily due to the old metal windows and rooms a very warm, it can be noisy throughout the night as people arrive and leave at all times. We had a room with an interconnecting door that the people in the other room tried to open at 1.30 am when they first arrived , they were also incredibly noisey shouting once awake which was at 5am due to sightseeing trips with the noise coming through the doors really easily, so it disrupted our stay . The breakfast was very good with a good selection of full English and continental foods, which set you up for the day ahead. Would we use this hotel again ....possibly
GGuest UserStay was great until I found out they took money from my bank for breakfast I didn’t take. I stated at check-in I didn’t want breakfast as I was at work early the following day.
I called the hotel for a refund, only to be told I need to send an email to the manager and they would check the cctv to ensure I didn’t attend breakfast.
Ssalaudin lunatHilton hotel Gibson Road (Sutton) an excellent place to stay. Friendly staff, parking available (not free in the compound of the property). Plus swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna,steam room and gym. There are shopping centre near by, library, supermarkets and great places to eat. Not too far from the railway station. Excellent public transport. I highly recommend this hotel.
大大食仔The location is good. The westfield shopping is nearby. There is bus stop just in front of hotel entrance. The two stations are within 5 minutes walking distance. Overall, the hotel is clean and tidy. The size of room is acceptable . There are supermarket, Macdonald, KFC, Starbucks, Subways nearby.
CChua Yuet LeeWe are stay at this wonderful hotel for one nights.
Here are our honest comments:
1) The location is convenient, just two bus stops away from Terminal 5 by the No. 423 bus.
2) The bedroom is elegant and equipped with modern facilities. It is very clean, comfortable, and comes with high-quality bottled water, tea, coffee, and cookies.
3 )The bedding is also very comfortable for sleeping.
Overall, Keep up the good work and continue to provide high-quality service at a reasonable price for your customers.
Best regards, Kit Chua Malaysia
GGuest UserHotel staff are very welcoming and helpful. The hotel is located perfectly for a visit to West Field shopping complex, 5 minutes walk away. The room we booked was the lowest priced available without breakfast included. It was clean and well presented as you expect for a Hilton. Tea and coffees provided as well as a fridge. The bathroom looked tired with heavy wear around the lower door and skirting given an appearance of shabbiness. That said it was clean. Also thankfully it wasn’t cold outside ( just wet ) as the heating wasn’t functioning.
CChris134I'll give this hotel top whack, this time. Check-in is always very professional and the TV was working! My only regret is only booking one night as the breakfast is so good. I was in a bit of a hurry and wish I ate more!
I sadly had to complain about some seemingly disrespectul guests in the middle of the night but staff were helpful in sorting it for me.
The hotel is comfortable and very well stocked, for the price, and is right near Paddington plus some excellent restaurants (including the Italians on either side just up the road) so very convenient. I hope to book again some time (I thought my last stay was last year but it was in Feb 😂). Thanks!
CCHEE ZHI YANGWe stayed in a triple room which comes with a mini bar, an electric stove and a microwave. Walking distance to the shops and stores, easy access to both tube and train lines at Hammersmith station.
AAngelI am writing to provide feedback on our recent stay at your hotel. While the location was excellent, we found that the hotel itself was in need of some improvements.
Firstly, I would like to highlight the positive aspect of our stay, which was the great location of the hotel. It was conveniently situated near various attractions and amenities, allowing us to easily explore the area. This was definitely a major advantage during our visit.
However, we were disappointed with the overall cleanliness and maintenance of the hotel. The rooms appeared to be in need of a deep cleansing, as there were noticeable stains on the carpets and walls. Additionally, the furniture and fixtures seemed worn out and outdated. A fresh coat of paint and new beds would greatly enhance the overall appearance and comfort of the rooms.
Furthermore, we found the lack of a welcoming lobby person to be quite disappointing. Upon arrival, we were not greeted or assisted by any staff members. This lack of hospitality made us feel unwelcome and left a negative impression.
In conclusion, while the location of the hotel was excellent, we believe that improvements are necessary to enhance the overall guest experience. A thorough cleaning, along with updates to the rooms and furniture, would greatly improve the comfort and aesthetics of the hotel. Additionally, having a friendly and welcoming lobby person would contribute to a more positive and enjoyable stay.
P.S. positive side- I truly appreciate the staff at the hotel who made the effort to move us to a more convenient floor. Additionally, it's always a pleasant experience when the breakfast lady is friendly and accommodating.

(I paid too much for 3nights so I was expecting a good place to relax after 27hours of travelling with a toddler).
