This hotel has all the conveniences that can be expected of a hotel of this class, and is nicely appointed. However the room we stayed in didn't have adequate glazing and the road noise was noticeable.

So the price for the hotel was just short of $500 - not cheap but typical of a 5 star London Hotel. Except this is barely a 3 star hotel.

When I arrived they told me the room I had booked was no longer available and I would have to go to a smaller room (which was tiny - see the picture).

As soon as I opened the door it was obvious this was an old run down hotel;

- the carpets were stained
- badly chipped woodwork
- only 2 powerpoints and no USB points
- the iron was filthy as a direct result stained my shirt when I ironed it
- the "free" internet was so slow as to be unusable. Obviously they intend for you to upgrade - interesting for a $500/night hotel
- there was graffiti inside of the wardrobe

When I finally lay down to go to sleep I thought the bed was rather hard...and then discovered it was unsprung - simply a mattress on top of a hard wood frame

The only things going for this place are the location and the breakfast.

The room was dated, with stained carpeting and the bathroom was definitely in need of sorting out - the shower controls were worn out. The "air conditioning" was pathetic and the control was very unreliable/unusable.

The bed....I woke up on the first morning with a terrible back ache. The mattress was completely sunk in the middle, but I tried to make do with it for the first night.
I reported the state of the mattress to the reception the next morning, but nothing was done to sort it out during that day.
A call to reception at nearly 11pm on the second night (after I had just found the disgusting state of the mattress when I stripped it back to see if I could sort it myself) ALSO did nothing. A phone call promised back from the duty manager, no call came.

The bar beside the restaurant has haphazard timings, I walked in at 10.05pm 25mins before they closed at 10.30pm...with folk still sat drinking in there...and I was refused service because they had stopped serving.

This is a 4 star central London hotel, a HILTON! I would never pay to stay here again.

Rooms were great with one quirk, unless you brought the longest possible lead it did not seem possible to charge any devices beside the bed.

Biggest downfall was the length of time it took to check in.

Tired and old looking hotel. The staff are uninterested and rude. The food is expensive and low quality. There are far better hotels for a lower price in the same area. The most annoying thing is the slow speed of the reception staff - they seem to be wholly not aware that a long queue of people has formed while in some cases just chating among themselves. There are some positive like the cleanliness of the rooms and bathroom and at least the breakfast was a good standard if a bit expensive.

Very bad experience in Sky23 restaurant and bar. The service is very slow and staff is so unprofessional. We were waiting for so long without any apologies until we asked for. The manager gave apologies eventually but not really sincere and sounded like forceful ones. Thankfully, the food is good.

As a venue for a conference, Hilton Metropole is great. Huge halls and numerous meeting rooms. As a place to stay, this is not at par to the other Hilton Hotels. The breakfast buffet was good though.

Good location.

Super recommended if you are visiting London for the first time. Hotel really huge, nice and clean. Praise goes to the friendly and helpful staff.
You can find all types of services within it, even a gift shop.

I had an awful stay here... I had to change rooms 4 times before finding a clean room that didn't smell or have stains, and where something wasn't broken. The management staff couldn't even believe me when I approached them. After all that, they handed me a drink voucher for the bar "to make up for the trouble"... wow....

Wasn't really impressed with this hotel. Being the hilton we were expecting a more plush venue but the rooms were small basic and tired looking and we only had a wall to look at from.our window. The lighting in the room was very poor. Beds wee comfortable and plenty of choice at breakfast.

Service was pretty good but the rooms were not very clean and had a smell of mildew / extreme staleness. Had multiple towels that were stained prior to use as well. The bed was the least comfortable bed I ve ever had at a hotel and was like a bowl with the middle part sunk 3-4 inches below the top. Good location to get to Heathrow and out West of London easily however.

What a wonderful place to be!!, went here for a weekend away with few friends and you know what? This place is amazing, wow, had everything you could dream of, Sauna, GYM, swimming pool, food, friendly staffs, friendly environment and many more, Staffs in the Executive Lounge was absolutely amazing, they approach you as if they are the one seeking for assistance, polite and eager to help, plus they smile.
If you thinking of coming to London, for a wedding, weekend out,business, etc, these is a place to be,and it's affordable, the only downside is that, the parking is a bit expensive, if you can avoid driving, the better.

Location was great, has parking space underneath the building. Staff were polite and helpful. The actual inside of the building was clean. Multiple elevators, massive clean toilets. Chilling area, and the hall itself that I was in on Floor 3 was amazing. Great venue for events.

Great accommodations, breakfast buffet is amazing, and the staff was great. For the cost some of the rooms are a bit on the small side (but this seems to be the case at most places in London). Good location that is a short walk from Paddington Station (perfect for catching the Heathrow Express to and from the airport). It also has a "hop on hop off" bus terminal right outside the door.

Disgraceful aside from an international hotel chain !! At check-in only ENGLISH !! No PRETENDING Italian ... but Spanish ... we speak of the second or third most spoken language in the world

Stayed in room 615 on the weekend. Horrible room! I was absolutely frozen throughout, and there was literally no way you could turn the air conditioning off! The best you could do was either turn it to low (which I did and still got what felt like gale force winds in my face as I slept) or turning the temperature up. But there was nothing to tell you how how it would go, and then there was the risk of the room becoming too hot!

The quality of the furnishings is not something you would expect from a hotel that charges so much, in addition they are just so outdated. This hotel is basically just a cash cow. Hilton knows it can absolutely milk it, without having to do it up.

HILTON, sort this rubbish out!!

Went for the SWPP Photography Show. The show was over three floors and packed with suppliers of camera equipment, albums and wedding supplies, print supplies and pretty much anything you can think you'll need to start or enhance your photography business.

Very large hotel located on several adjacent structures and in a very convenient location near communication and underground routes. Positive experience with modern, large and clean room. Rich and very varied breakfast, for all tastes and cultures, with the only drawback the line that can be long at certain times.

I went to the Hilton London Metropole for a music concert. The venue was very well organised with clear directions to the bar and washroom facilities. The only disappointing thing was no drinks were allowed inside the concert venue.

Thr hotel is great and the room is perfect.
It s just that thing that ruined our vacation, one week before we -me and my husband- check in I emailed a guest relation officer to help me plan my husbands birthday surprise, but sadly when we arrived after a 7 hours flight our room wasn t ready! Not just that, Everything that I asked for WAS NOT THERE !!! even the cake that I ordered wasn t in the room !! They just delivered the cake to the room with our luggage!! And they just handed the box to my shocked husband who was soo confused with the situation!! And that wasn t enough!! Every 30 minuets or so they kept knocking on the door when we were sleeping !! The first time they brought the balloons that were supposed to be in the room before we check in, the s time the second time there was bottles of water and some pastries, the third time there was a cake !!! We didn t get enough sleep and it was so uncomfortable with all the knocking. I really liked the hotel but the service wasn t so good.
