Great hotel - it is a Hilton but not blazoned with the emblem. Key highlights: - location - very, very central (although you may not see it at first due to the emblem above!!) - ambiance - very cool place. bar is really lively but this doesn't seem to affect noise in the rest of the hotel - staff and...

This is a perfect location for seeing London! Also, we were extremely satisfied with the quality of the staff. They were the most helpful, and very attentive to your requests. We stayed at The Trafalgar for four nights, and could not have been more pleased with our choice. Two doors down from The Trafalgar is Perth, a small pre-packaged food... More

We have stayed here before and it is a great hotel, London prices of course but the fun eclectic nature of the rooms make it worthwhile. Great modern reception close to the excellent and lively cocktail bar. Super coffee in the morning. We had a deluxe bathroom with view of both Nelson and Parliament if you looked around the corner!... More

Stayed at this hotel for 2nights the. Location perfect for all central attractions , the usual Hilton logo nowhere to be seen anywhere in the hotel which was a nice surprise as it becomes a bit predictable when u go 2 a Hilton and menus etc. Are identical, the quality of the breakfast was better than any i have had...

Arrived at Trafalgar hotel and asked for directions to Vista rooftop bar which I had found on the internet, only to be told that if you are not a resident there would be a £5 per person entry charge. As it was a lovely evening we decided to go for it - lovely view but drinks are expensive - £110... More

I only stay at this hotel when I'm in London and there is a very good reason. The hotel is in the perfect location for sight seeing, has very clean rooms, excellent customer service and an amazing roof top lounge. Breakfast at the hotel has everything you expect and the food is well prepared. The hotel's bar in the main... More

Entrance to the Trafalgar is tucked away and not obvious. No Hilton signage, which is in keeping with the location. Booked one night while entertaining the relatives. Used my Hilton Honours points. Check in was quick and efficent. Very grateful to be able to check in early. Lady on reception was very friendly. Double room was surprisingly spacious for such... More

You could not get a more central location for exploring London, and with a fantastic roof top terrace view. Despite being in such a hustling location the rooms were quiet and undisturbed by outside noise. The odd guest room doors slamming in the night was a slight annoyance but not a major gripe. The staff were all friendly and very... More
