Lovely way to start your day!
Pros:

The breakfast at the hotel was so lovely, the best I've ever seen! So many options!! The full English breakfast, delicious baked items, Vegan, Gluten Free, so many dietary restrictions were acknowledged! I was so impressed! Vali, the restaurant hostess was so kind and accommodating. Such a pleasure first thing in the morning! I highly recommend starting your day with a lovely breakfast at the Hilton London Watford!

Please work to improve quality of the food and infrastructure; it does not match your prices. Staff were great (saving g
Pros:

Staff were very helpful and friendly

Cons:

Aged and tired facilities- not value for money. Access currently during the refurb work is not straightforward and confusing. Price must match the value of what you get.
The food, particularly breakfast was of low quality, didn’t look fresh nor appetising

Great hospitality from staff
Pros:

I’ve stayed at this hotel for over 40 nights (all together) and the staff are always amazing.

I’m here for just one night today and Paula at front desk really made me and my guest feel welcomed. Great hospitality and customer service.

I want to also especially thank Angel & Ivy at the bar downstairs, for their great hospitality, service and bubbly personalities!

No running water for a full day
Pros:

Arrived and checked in and very quickly learned there was no water in our room. There was maintenance in the building so we had to navigate several floors and corridors to get there. Then discovered the phone didn’t work so had a 5 minute trip back to reception who advised the water was out throughout the building. I was annoyed they’d let us check in and not mentioned this but they told us it would be back on in 30 mins. 2 hours later no water still so another hike to reception and was told it would be back in 30 mins. 2 hours more and no water - this time the engineers were 30 mins away and I started to suspect someone wasn’t telling the truth!
I asked if any rooms had water and was told no - I later discovered this wasn’t true and only the family rooms were out. Several tries later and still no water - no toilet and no showers. We were told the gym 3 floors below had a single shower and a toilet. When we asked how we would shower our children or take them to the toilet in the night this was the only solution. In reality they could’ve moved us to 2 double rooms but obviously this wasn’t financially viable for them.
After showering the kids in a public gym shower and taking a 3 flight trip to the toilet in the night we requested a refund but was offered £20 off our £625 stay! This was eventually argued up to 20% of the first night but the stay still cost over £500 for 2 nights and no running water - last Hilton I use.

Too hot and poor communication
Pros:

Whilst the hotel is ok as a work hotel, there is an overall lack of standard.
We rang ahead to find out restaurant closing time as we were imminently arriving, and managed to race there to arrive prior to this time. Arriving in the hotel to find that a chef had gone home several hours earlier so the only things available were pizzas - we had passed numerous restaurants on the way that we could have stopped at.
The hotel also has no a/c and so whilst the bed was reasonably comfortable, the temperature of the room was unbearably hot.
For the £240 paid, I would not recommend this hotel as any form of value.

Disappointing service and dated facilities – poor breakfast and rude staff
Pros:

We had a mediocre experience at the Hilton Watford. Check in was delayed as our room wasn't ready when we arrived. To make matters worse, the older blonde woman at the front desk was very rude and unpleasant when telling us about the delay a bit of basic customer service would have gone a long way.
​As for the hotel itself, it’s fair to say it's okay, but noticeably old-fashioned and feeling quite dated throughout. Breakfast left a lot to be desired as well; the bacon was so hard it was almost unedible.

I selected the option to pay an additional fee for an upgrade on check-in, if an upgrade was available. No upgrade was available, yet they've still charged me for it.

​Between the rude reception staff, delayed room, dated interior, and subpar breakfast, we won't be returning anytime soon.

Regular haunt but attention to detail going downhill in breakfast room
Pros:

All much as usual. Good mattress and pillows.
Thank god for bottled water this summer

Cons:

Very noisy room as windows had to be open due to heat. Think near generators. Room 114 will not stay in that room again.
Hot breakfast buffet all items were cool not hot
Including waffles on the other station came out cold.

Cons:

It was very hot the night we stayed unfortunately there was no air conditioning and the windows barley opened. We didn't get much sleep at all considering we were doing a road trip little sleep was not ideal. We also had to chase room service up a few times as the order wasn't correct and the phone in the room wouldn't call room service. At check out I requested a refund for the tip which the staff approved.
