I must say, the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were very small and seemed nothing like the pictures, almost like something out of a horror movie. Definitely not what I expected from a 4-star hotel, especially from Hilton standards. On the bright side, the service was top-notch, with the staff working hard to ensure a pleasant stay. However, I'm not entirely convinced this hotel will be my first choice next time. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation and the nearby attractions. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a quiet and dark ambiance but decent food. Facilities were adequate, but with room for improvement.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious, modern, and exceptionally clean, but the lack of air conditioning during a heatwave caused discomfort and inconvenience. The service was welcoming and attentive, with the staff following strict health measures. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation and shopping areas.

My stay at the Hilton was a mixed experience. The rooms were comfortable as expected from Hilton, but a water leak in the bathroom was a significant issue that caused discomfort. The service was fantastic, with a very efficient and welcoming staff. The location was exceptional, especially for shopping at Westfield Mall, but bear in mind the hotel is actually in Shepherd's Bush. The dining experience was a highlight with a great variety of quality food choices.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the rooms were quite small and felt clustered with two single beds, they were clean and comfortable. The price was a bit on the higher side for the basic facilities provided, not meeting the expected standard. On the bright side, the service was friendly and helpful, guiding us effectively for our planned visits. The location was excellent, being close to public transport and a shopping mall, making it convenient for exploring central London. However, the dining options were limited and expensive compared to other places I've stayed. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.

The hotel is in a great location close to the tubes and many different food options. The rooms had everything we needed but were a bit tatty and needed refurbishment. The service was fantastic and very welcoming. The dining experience offered plenty of choices, though slightly pricy. Overall, a decent value for money option with some room for improvement.

The hotel offers rooms at a price range of £150 to £200 plus VAT, which are comfortable but show signs of wear and tear. The service provided by Mariana and Lauren at the front desk was notably friendly and exceptional. The location in Kensington is convenient with shopping centers nearby, despite some outdated furniture. The dining experience was great with a variety of choices, ideal for starting the day. However, the decor and menu resemble a coffee shop more than a high-end hotel standard.

My stay at the Hilton was quite pleasant overall. The room, while a decent size for London standards, could have been cleaner and in need of a refurbishment. On the upside, the service was exceptional, with the staff being very friendly and incredibly helpful. The location was convenient and had everything we needed, making it a perfect choice in terms of both price and value. The dining experience, although fairly standard, was enjoyable, especially considering the lovely surroundings. However, the menu was a bit limited, repeating dishes every morning.
