Aamar Dastgir-Sheikh Review of Hilton London Metropole
Stayed here recently (weekend of 28th August).
Stayed here recently (weekend of 28th August).
Let's start with the car park: designed decades ago, but never was designed for 4x4 vehicles. I don't have a 4x4 however the car park showed me a couple of things, which was the very poor standards of parking for those who own 4x4 (parking in 2 bays, diagonal etc) and once the 4x4 are parked - how you even gotten out the vehicle must have been a mission due to the doors not being able to open due to virtually touching the cars either side lol.
Reception and check-in: due to the size of the hotel (can handle 1000 guests at The same time) it's evident the staff are churning out a cattle market. No personal touch to any conversation nor designed to help too much. My personal checkin was straight forward.
Breakfast: cattle market, with cold toast, rubber eggs and hoards of kids running wild.
Room: decent size, tired looking - bathroom acceptable but battered. Beds springs coming through.
Location of the hotel is perfect. 10 mins walk to Oxford Street etc. Plenty of restaurants on your doorstep with it being in front of Edgware road.
A very battered and haggered Hilton. I understand why after reading the reviews that it's the worst of the Hilton hotels. I don't even want to imagine what it's like after being at 100% capacity.
