The hype
Guests love the modern renovations in the Tower/East wings and the breakfast variety, but often feel lost in the sheer size of the property.
Hilton London Metropole
$170-280/ notte
Prenota se You need a reliable, high-capacity base near Paddington with excellent family options and a massive executive lounge.
Perché piace così tanto
- Incredible connectivity (2 mins to Edgware Rd tube, 10 mins to Paddington)
- One of the best Executive Lounges in London (East Wing)
- Rare family rooms that actually fit 4-5 people comfortably
In sintesi: A massive, three-headed beast of a hotel where your experience depends entirely on which 'Wing' you get assigned.
Recensito da @Adventureswithaunty_: I stayed here with the family and it made our London trip so much easier. The kids loved the breakfast buffet, and having the Tube nearby for Heathrow was a lifesaver. It's the perfect stress-free base for exploring the city with little ones.
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
Reality check
If you book a standard room without researching the wings, you might end up in a 'dated' West Wing room while paying the same as someone in a sleek Tower room.
- You are a Hilton Honors Diamond member (the lounge is a major perk)
- You are a family of 4+ needing two queen beds in one room
- You need to be on the Heathrow Express in 15 minutes
Pulizia e manutenzione
8.5
- Housekeeping: Generally efficient daily service, though missed spots (socks under bed) reported.
- Bathroom hygiene: Renovated bathrooms are sparkling; older ones can have grout issues or damp smells.
- Maintenance: Tower/East wings are pristine; West Wing shows wear and tear.
- Linens & towels: Standard crisp Hilton white linens; towels are plentiful.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells fresh (signature scent); some West Wing corridors can smell 'tired' or musty.

Suggerimenti degli Insider

The 'West Wing' lobby has a separate entrance that is often quieter for Uber pickups.

Use the 'Tyburn Market' for grab-and-go coffee instead of waiting for table service at breakfast.

The East Wing elevators are separate from the main bank—much faster if you stay in that wing.
