Lovely hotel but reception staff need better training.
Pros:

Comfy beds, lovely welcoming reception area and a short walk from Shepards Bush Station.

Cons:

When we checked in, the lady at reception gave us no information (e.g bar times, where the lifts are) and barely spoke to us. She handed us our room key after I told her my name and that was it, she didn’t even check my ID.

Nogenlunde.
Pros:

God

Cons:

Personale, talte ikke rigtig sammen, man fik mange forskellige oplysninger. Bl.a. blev vi lovet en upgrade, fordi vores aircondition ikke virkede, og ikke kunne laves. Men vi fik ikke upgrade bare et andet værelse. Hvilket var fint, men nu blev vi jo lovet noget andet. og sådan var det med flere ting. Bla. skulle roomservice kommer med is for at køle uden aircon, det om kom aldrig. Hilton er ikke hvad hilton har været.

Ok but not again.
Pros:

That it was close to portobello market and Holland Park

Cons:

It’s very outdated and not like the other Hilton hotels in various locations. The cleanliness was not great and the bathrooms were old.

Was okay for one night but feel it was slightly over priced for what we got.
Pros:

Location was good, lobby area was nicely well presented. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

Room needed updating, shower door wasn’t fixed properly and sink had a big crack in it. Needed a full renovation ideally.

Not worthy of the Hilton name
Pros:

Very disappointing. You can't select the room temperature, the hotel is shabby, in need of repair and updating. The staff was courteous, but can't effect the physical conditions.

Alright...but above essentials is a must for Hilton brand.
Pros:

The AC's were randomly working, ON and OFF on it's own....like mood swings. Had moments of sleepless nights, due to claustrophobic room.

Cons:

for a Hilton name, the basic amenities of room cooling could be maintained. The entrance was so narrow, that one could barely walk in with the bag.

Otelde 21 gün kaldık. Asansöre en uzak oda verildi. Bu kadar uzun konaklayan birine bu kadar uzak oda verilir mi. Oday
Pros:

Konumu

Cons:

Ön büro çalışanlarının aksanını anlayamadık. İletişim kuramadık. Ödeme kısmında bir hata oldu. Ön büro elemanı ilgilenmedi bile.

The hotel was very unhygienic and ran down
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

We arrived and requested early check in however was told this was not possible. The receptionist then advised us to return to the desk at 3pm. We then returned to the desk and they advised us that only one room was available. We were attending a concert that we had to be at in Wembley by 5pm. This left 8 of us trying to get ready in one room rushing round, they told us that the second room would be available in 5-10 minutes but then we had to wait a further 30 minutes for our room to be ready. In addition to this, we had an uber booked for 4:15pm to leave the hotel which was nearly missed. Our final two rooms then became available at 4:10pm meaning that we had 5 minutes to sort this out before we had to leave the hotel and four guests from our party weren’t even able to check into their rooms properly until around 12am when we arrived back.

Along with this, the hotel receptionist offered us a free round of drinks knowing that we had already bought drinks and that we were in a rush to freshen up and leave to go to our concert.

Secondly, I would like to complain about the state of the rooms. None of the four rooms we had were clean, they were all run down and to be charging £225 per night is absolute disgraceful. I have stayed in better premier inn hotels which have been finished to a higher standard. There was Stains on the carpets which looked like blood, live electric cables, damaged/exposed door locks, marks on the walls and finally hairs/rubbish on the beds which I will attach photos off.
