Hilton London Olympia
"Room was dated, air con didn't work, and there was a strange noise that went on all night ( perhaps a service lift but not sure). Food in the restaurant was decent for our evening meal, we didn't have breakfast though because the vegan options were woeful."

Bob W London Holland Park
"The property is well maintained. The room had great amenities and access to more if needed. The little kitchenette had everything we needed. The room (standard double) is small, but we only needed to sleep and shower mostly. If you're looking for a large room, make sure you review options available. ..."
