"Quiet and Soothing Minimalist Retreat"  by M from Boston

This is a Hilton delivering the cleanliness and service you expect. The room was large for London, it was quiet considering that it was in the heart of Trafalgar Square which is busy and noisy. I arrived in midafternoon at the end of the London Marathon and once in my room I never knew that were literally thousands of people outside in the street. The hotel and rooms are decorated in a trendy minimalist style, my only complaint is that they could use just a little bit of art, any art even if it was also minimalist. Also beware of the shower, even with those little dam things on the tub rim water does run over the side onto the floor. And if you're looking for the hairdryer, it's in the desk drawer, British electrical codes do not allow their use in bathrooms so there are no correct electrical outlets installed. Breakfast is expensive and not worth it, seek food elsewhere. The restaurant is also expensive and the food is unmemorable.

"Superb location"  by T from WEST MIDLANDS

Stayed at the hotel for one night with my husband. Found staff very friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a superb location, close to all main attractions. The room was very modern, clean and spacious. The bed was also comfortable and considering there was quite a lot of noise outside, this could not be heard inside the room. We will definately return.
