Looks awful on the outside but this hotel is actually rather nice on the inside. Pretty standard city centre Hilton, but the conference centre in here is well equipped and versatile, which makes it a very popular venue for smaller trade shows and larger business meetings. If you're visiting London and this place is in your budget, then it's an ideal hotel for being close to the city centre but not so close that you feel boxed in.

Paddington train and tubes are a quick (albeit confusing) walk and the two flavours of Edgware Road station are easy as well. You might have to cross the road a baffling number of times to get to them though.
