“Not the Doubletree you expect”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012 via mobile

Great hotel, smart, stylish with good ambience. Rooms ok, beds comfortable, heating based on dodgy aircon but ok, only one pillow each but quiet night. As a Doubletree a let down. Staff hardly speak English, no cookies, exec lounge overrun by drunken freeloaders and kids and concierge on holiday. It's a staff issue. Otherwise this would be a reasonable Hilton experience.

Thank you for sharing your feedback on your recent stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton London West End. It is nice to know that you found our hotel to have a nice atmosphere and our rooms to be comfortable. However, I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed by other elements, such as our staff and executive lounge. I am also concerned by the fact that you didn’t receive our iconic welcome cookie. Let me assure you that the situations that you witnessed are only an exceptional poor reflection of our usual high standard. Please know that I have taken your comments and addressed them to the right departments for re-training purposes to prevent this from re-occurring.

Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any further comments or suggestions.

We hope to have opportunity to be your hosts again and provide you with the level of service that we are renowned for.

Best Regards

“Modern room & comfortable bed”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2012

Stayed here for a single night on a trip to London. Room was a good size, good value for money, clean, modern and up to date. The staff were as helpful as staff in any London hotel ever are.

The bed/ pillow combination was very comfortable and unusually for me I slept well.

The location for me was ideal as it wasn't too far from either Kings cross or Trafalgar Square where my meeting was- 10 minutes in a cab even in morning rush hour.

All in all a comfortable & more than satisfactory stay

Room Tip: I stayed in a deluxe double room which was a good size

“Westminter Derek”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

Nice hotel located in the west end of london, very clean hotel and pleasant staff. Nice out of the way bar located on the 2nd floor w/a interesting display of whiskey bottles. The main floor features a nice looking restaurant w/a tasty menu. Apple computers in every room. To catch the tubes about a 20 minute walk. 20 minute walk to Big Ben, Parliament and Westminster Abbey.

“Good rooms, terrible breakfast service!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 4, 2012

Me and my other half stayed here on a Saturday night. We were met by a very friendly receptionist who gave us our room card straight away and some cookies. The room was small but nice, modern and clean. I heard quite a lot of banging during the night I presume would be the lift as were right next to it. When we went for breakfast we had to wait some time to be seated. We were not offered any tea or coffee. We had to ask a passing waiter. There were no plates available, or glasses for juice. We had to wait a substantial time for these to become available. The biggest problem was that a lot of food and drink had ran out and was not replaced. Because of these issues with the breakfast I don't think we would stay here again. It we compare to a premier inn we found there breakfast is much better and obviously much cheaper.

Thank you for your insightful feedback regarding your recent stay with us.
I am glad to hear that you were satisfied with your room’s cleanliness and decoration, and that our reception welcomed you with their usual friendliness. However, I was concerned to learn about all the issues that you experienced at breakfast, having to wait for service and the food not being replenished. I have raised that concern with the relevant department for them to improve and re-train where necessary. Please let me assure you that the issues witnessed are a complete exception to our usual high standards, as our guest’s comfort and satisfaction are our top priority.
We hope to have the opportunity of being your hosts the next time that you are in London, and to provide you with the great and rewarding experience that we strive to give to our guests.

Best Regards

“One night in the west end”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 3, 2012

I booked this through late rooms and it was excellent value at £70.00 room only. A bit of a walk from the tube but very central location great access to sights and attractions and of course the west end. The room was very nicely decorated & when you check in they give you warm cookies!! Room was quite small but really lovely, comfy bed, pillows were ok. No iron in room but housekeeping brought one up in no time. We didn't eat here so can't comment on the food.
