In 2010/11 this hotel would have been well worth avoiding, but following an extensive refurbishment it is now well worth considering. We experienced excellent service and as HHonors members were upgraded. Some parts of the hotel eg landings and corridors still need upgrading but our room was fine, very comfortable and access to the newly created Exec Longe was most... More

I've stayed in a lot of HIlton hotels throughout the US, even the lower end budget-friendly options, and i was truly shocked to the say the least at the standard (or lack thereof) of the London Olympia. the location was good, and close to public transportation. But that was about as good as the positive points in regards to this... More

We spent two nights here over Christmas with a Priceline purchase. This is an OK central-ish London location. With some walking, there are decent restaurants in the area, and the walk to the nearest tube station is about 20 minutes. The rooms are large for London and tastefully, modernly done, though the corridors and some of the facilities seem a... More

Stayed here for one night whilst working at an exhibition based in Olympia in December. Our company also hired one of the meeting rooms to conduct more private meetings, provide coffee etc. Firstly the positives: the lobby, bar and restaurant area are very swish and stylish. The breakfast was excellent and the chef was keen to cook up eggs however... More

Worst Hilton I've ever stayed in. I get it that rooms are smaller in Europe but my first room was a shoebox with a twin bed. The Hilton in Prague where I was before was more in line with what should be expected. Also horrible wireless access in room plus you have to get a new code each day. Twice... More

There are some complaints in the reviews of old, gross rooms. That was not my experience at all. We had a nice, spacious room with upgraded furniture and bathroom. It was much roomier than I would expect a London hotel to be. The bedding was nice and they had these huge fluffy bath towels. The concierge was helpful and the... More

I booked this hotel on a website through their secret hotels promo. Once I got the name of the hotel I became really worried after reading the awful reviews on here but we had nothing to be worried about! On arrival we were upgraded which was good as we had so much luggage after being away for a month so... More

Another great stay at this hotel. Since my last stay the gym has been refurbished and I hear talk of them opening an Executive Lounge; which as an HHonors member will be very welcome.
