The hotel was overpriced, run down and poorly located..I got better advice on a choice of nearby restaurants from another guest than I could get from the hotel staff. "healthcare" facility was a tiny room in the basement.. wouldn't stay there again.

While in London i had a fall and tore my quadriceps tendon. after an operation and before being allowed to fly home,my wife and I stayed at the Hilton olympia at Kensington. The staff could not have been more thoughtful or considerate. They helped with email access, faxing travel insurance reports and supplying a wheelchair. Well donewonderful staff and management.,

We stayed for one night and overall we were pretty happy with the place. The room was a good size (Room 528) with a comfortable bed and all necessary facilities (hair dryer, ironing board, good selection of hot drinks, etc). The view out of the window wasn't up to much and the air conditioning wasn't working but we were happy... More

Shared a triple - this was two singles and a roll-out in a small room. The bed was OK for a child but not an adult. Had to ask for additional cups, glasses, pillows, milk - staff not exactly proactive in this regard. The breakfast included in our tariff was excellent. Location is good with buses the closest public transport.... More

Dear reviewer, Thank you for your review. I was disappointed to hear that we seemed to have dropped the ball in regard to the service your received in missing towels, cups, toiletries, etc.. for the third person in your room. I only wish you had mentioned something during your stay as I know my team would have rectified anything immediately.... More

I stayed for 8 days here and got a nice comfortable bed and a great free breakfast (though I am a Hilton Gold, so that might not apply to you) every day. However, the hotel made me wish I was richer and could have stayed somewhere else. I'll try to concisely talk about why. The first and most important drawback... More

We enjoyed a nice stay in the Hilton Olympia. The room was immaculately decorated and spacious-it has recently been renovated. Great location for nearby attractions

the hotel is very convenient if you are working at Olypmia. The rooms are small and not the best of decor (quite outdated and somewhat tired). The hotel itself from the outside looks very run-down, but inside they have made an effort to refurb although its not amazing. an okay stay, but would probably look for somewhere else next time.

I have used the Kensington Hilton several times and think it offers great value for the location which can be quite pricey for hotels. The location is great for seeing the sights of tourist London. It is located in West Kensington on the High Street. Bus #9 has a stop a very short walk from the hotel and will take... More

They wanted £15 per day for wifi, and only gave 1 hour per day free in the bar/reception area. Other than that an ok hotel.
