“Wonderful hotel, perfect location a wonderful trip”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

We recently visited for our daughters 6th Birthday treat - we stayed in a family room on the 6th floor. From check in to check out everything was seamless and I cannot report one single complaint. We are a family of 3 and were given two King sized beds which was magical for our little girl. The bar area by the lobby is beautiful, very contemporary, good menu and given the location very reasonable. Our room was spacious for the 3 of us, very well set up and we had all we needed even our cookies. The staff were all friendly and welcoming. We were within a 10 min walking distance of Oxford Street and on the way you pass lots of lovely little shops. You also pass the British Museum (free) and some nice bars and coffee shops, it is a beautiful area. The NCP Car Park is just down the road (5mims walk) parking was £30 for 24 hrs and all very secure. We had a magical time, shopping, dining and enjoying a few drinks and will certainly be staying at this hotel for future visits. Many Thanks to Doubletree by Hilton for making it so wonderful.

Room Tip: We had a deluxe family room with no views but given the location we didn't expect one. We were...

“Great location and nice staff but can be noisy....”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

On arrival at 2pm we orders some lunch in the bar which was excellent. I was impressed with the staffs' attitude and the value considering we were just off the strand.

Our room was a double deluxe, great bed, nice room overall but we were low down at the front and cons midnight the continuing traffic hampered our sleep after a hard days sightseeing.

Overall I would not hesitate in recommending this hotel but try and get a room in a quieter location

“Very small room showing signs of wear and tear”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 31, 2012

Our room was clearly designed as a single as the double bed was actually up against the wall on two sides which meant that I had to climb over my recumbent parter in order to get in and out. Probably about 4 feet clearance between the other two sides of the bed and the room walls so only very small cats could be swung if needed. One broken reading lamp, wiring on towel heater in bathroom secured in place with a lot of duct tape (not sure that this is actually legal in a bathroom?) and generally a few chips and scrapes on the walls, doors and sills.
Nothing wrong enough to kick up a stink about, but enough to mark it down to an average rating on Tripadvisor on account of the relative expense vs quality.

Room Tip: Ask for a full sized double, not a converted single.

“Afternoon Tea”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed December 29, 2012

I recently booked a table for 4 as a treat to my nieces for doing well in their exams. Last year a friend and I had afternoon tea at the Hilton London Green Park, where we offered an excellent service, where our special request of halal sandwiches was acknowledged. Moreover, there was excellent customer service with generous refills and the atmosphere was brilliant. In this vein, I had booked this afternoon tea with the Doubletree by Hilton. Although, the staff were helpful in accomodating our drinks request, I was hoping for a Hilton inspired afternoon. However, I have now realised that just because the name Hilton is in the overall name of this hotel, sadly, the service matched nowhere near. For £50, the four of us had enough tea but sadly nothing else. Very disappointing afternoon.

“Very good with excellent staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 22, 2012

From the moment we arrived in a group of four we were made welcome. The desk staff could not have been more helpful. They were smart, efficient and did everything with a smile.

The room: Clean and comfortable although for a four star, a wee bit small. And as with many hotels in December the room temperature was high, although the air con soon brought that down to a comfortable level. The rooms were equipped with tea and coffee facilities and an iron and ironing board. The bathroom was very clean and well equipped.

The only meal we had was breakfast that consisted of the usual options and choices, and produce was of a very high standard.

The location is very good.

We only stayed for one night but all agreed we would be happy to return. A very pleasant experience.
