Description: The Hilton London Metropole is a large hotel featuring east and west wings, plus a tower section. In terms of Hiltons, it meets franchise standards, but the rooms aren't anything above average in terms of decor and finish. There is in-room coffee and the rooms have mini-bars.
If you happen to be a Gold HH member or better, you'll appreciate the executive lounge on the second floor, which features a decent continental breakfast as well as complimentary coffee, beer, wine, and soft drinks. These are nice extras in a place like London. We found the common areas to be superior. There is also a decent swimming pool and health club facilities.
Housekeeping was excellent during our visit, and the staff was uniformly helpful and friendly. Tube access is excellent with two stations close by served by the Central, Circle, Bakerloo, and District lines. (If you're coming in from Gatwick, you need only pick up the Circle line at Victoria Station. Paddington is within reasonable walking distance, or one stop on the tube away.)
Overall, we give the Hilton Metropole a thumbs up and we noted outstanding rates available during certain periods of the off-season.
