This is a Hilton Hotel, though it doesn't say Hilton outside. We stayed two nights using HiltonHonors points, and were very happy with our selection of this hotel. It is very much a boutique hotel and doesn't feel like a traditional Hilton - a nice change of pace. In what appears to be an older building, I was very pleasantly... More

Just spent two nights at the London Hilton Trafalgar. I would stay there again. * Surprised that there was no visible Hilton sign. Front desk assured me I was at the right place. * Taxi driver recognized the address, but not the hotel; I think the Hilton name threw him off. * Trendier than expected. * Separate shower in the...

We booked a lastminute secret hotel for the Bank Holiday weekend and ended up in this hotel in Trafalgar Square. The room was spacious, clean and the bed was really good - not always the case in 4 and 5 star hotels! Staff were lovely and very helpful. Our only issue was the quality of the food we ate one...

Great hotel, very central, excellent service. Just there for one night, but made welcome on arrival. Free wi-fi throughout the hotel. The coolest waitress in the world welcomed us into breakfast. Hard to find fault, even the funky lifts were a talking point
