Stayed here for a weekend in London and they offered a deal with breakfast included. The location is OK, but what is not clear, is that the frequency of the tube is only every 30 mins, and only on weekends. So it's the 'overground train' and a couple of changes to get anywhere useful. It should be noted that the... More

Check in was quick! Ended up on the 7th floor (709 i think) in a small room, very hot looking out onto an internal passageway! Just to top it off the person over the corridor had a yapping dog! Not impressed! Went to reception to request a different room and that's where it got better! No fuss! Ended up in... More

We stayed here for 4 nights using it as the base for our London Tours. It was a really good choice for the price we paid. Our room was moderately small, but our friend's was larger at the same price and booking, so it depends on what's available. The bed was large and comfortable. Cleanliness was good. The room was...

Arrived at hotel and greeted by friendly staff. There were 4 of us travelling and we asked for 2 double rooms, we got 1 double and 1 twin room. We asked reception if we could have a double room. She advised that we could stay in the same room and have the beds joined which worked in our favour, with... More

The hotel is located on Kensington High Street, 10 -15 min walking from the tube station (High Street Kensington), altghough there is a bus station just outside the hotel. The rooms are comfortable, clean and a Hilton standard, but the bathroom definetely needs improvement. Flushing the toilet makes a huge noise, so you don't want to do that during the... More

Arrived at Hilton in the morning around 10am expecting to leave our luggage there but surprisingly able to check in as the room was ready. The layout and design for reception and breakfast lounge was nice. Apart from that, the rooms looked a little aged and could do with some renovation. In the room, the bed and pillows were a... More

We spent a weekend in London and chose the Hilton London Olympia to sleep. The rooms are very small for the price you pay. The location is good if you consider the area that it is located (Kesington), for people that uses the underground it is 1Km away (10 to 15 min walking) or 2 min by bus that stops... More

This is a great corporate hotel. Good sized rooms and comfortable beds. Breakfast has excellent choices. Executive Lounge is small but personable. Not that close to tube stations (20min walk) BUT catch the 9 or 10 bus right outside the hotel and get off at Kensington High st Station. More

Usual Hilton standard, pretty clean, nothing a bother from the staff. Only gripe i have is that the rooms are very warm and the only way to cool the room down is to use the aircon which sounds like an aircraft taking off in your room! I used this hotel for Olympia which is 2 minutes round the corner. More
