The lady receptionist was not welcoming. Noise outside the rooms of other guests, banging of doors could be heard as the main door was not sound proof. Bathroom drainage system was bad. Rooms and linen were not clean enough. Overall poor stay at this property, would not want to repeat stay or recommend anyone.

Don't eat in the bar.

Hotel is near the excel centre. I booked the wrong one but it was only a short distance from the one I thought I booked Hotel rooms are a bit tired. Beds comfortable . Shower leaked all over the floor apart from that all good. Reception staff were helpful however the bar staff were sullen and clearly unhappy in their work. The bar food is reheated and dreadful. I had a burger that I could have solved my shoe with and the chips were awful. The ones on top had been arranged to make them look good but the ones underneath were reheated and inedible. Hilton , if you are not going to serve freshly prepared food, don't bother. Breakfast was good enough food and the staff were attentive. Overall a good enough stay blighted only by the bar food.

Room was locating facing the river so was perfect during the night and morning to wake and sleep to. Unfortunately the room did not come with bin bags making throwing away things difficult, basic requirement which weren’t there Also during a night there was a guest so was screaming at staff (I believe) after a dispute when it could have been settled at reception or anyone other then the hallways where others are sleeping especially the fact it was 4am.

5 star trip

My girlfriend and I recently had the pleasure of staying at DoubleTree by Hilton for one night in a standard room, booked to celebrate her 30th birthday. Prior to our arrival, I discreetly emailed the hotel to mention the special occasion, and to my absolute delight, we were greeted at check-in with the incredible news that we had been upgraded to a deluxe suite overlooking the stunning London skyline! The room itself was absolutely excellent – very modern, spacious, and impeccably clean. It truly made the occasion feel even more special. The thoughtful touches didn't stop there; we were also welcomed with two complimentary cookies, two free drinks, and two bottles of water. To top it all off, our car park fee was waived, and we received a 15% meal voucher (though we didn't get a chance to use it this time!). A massive shout-out and heartfelt thank you must go to Irene who orchestrated this fantastic surprise for us. Her attention to detail and generosity made our stay truly memorable. The hotel itself is very modern and maintained to a high standard of cleanliness throughout. For those looking to explore, transport to central London is incredibly convenient, with tube stations readily available and a journey time of around 20-30 minutes. As an EV owner, I particularly appreciated the hotel's EV charging facilities. Taking advantage of the waived parking fee, I was able to recharge my car at a very reasonable 59p per kWh, costing only around £18 overall. Would come again
