Advantages: great location, food and staff

Disadvantages: None!!

The Metropole Hilton hotel is in an ideal location for both business and sightseeing. It is about a ten minute walk from Paddington station and fifteen minute walk from London city centre. However if your not up for walking everyday, it is two minutes away from Edgeware underground station. The hotel is located on the busy Edgeware road, however none of the noise can be heard within the hotel.

My partner and I stayed in this hotel on a recent trip to London for the weekend and were both really pleased with our choice in hotel. We managed to get the hotel cheap on lastminute.com, the total cost of our stay was £117 for two nights including a buffet style breakfast. This was cheaper than it would have been to stay in a travelodge!!

As already mentioned the hotel was in a great location. We got the train to London Paddington and it took us no longer ten minutes to walk round to the hotel. The Edgeware Road underground is on the Bakerloo line, which was ideal for all the places we intended to visit.
The hotel itself was lovely and the staff extremely friendly. We paid for a kingsize room, check in itself was very quick and easy dispite the vast amount of people waiting in reception. On checking in staff offered to take our bags to our room (although we felt a bit lazy saying yes as we only had a small bag each!). The room itself was very clean - just as you would expect from a Hilton hotel, there was tea, coffee and hot chocolate available within the rooms. Each room has a folder with all the local attractions and tube links. There is a lovely bathroom with seperate bath and shower and two sinks.

Although we were very impressed with the hotel room we didnt intend to spend much time in the room and it was the hotel staff we were most impressed with. Their local knowledge is vast, including all the popular tourist areas, tube links and which tube lines to use. Within the reception area they provide you with any leaflets etc you may need.

Although we didnt eat in the restaurant at night, our breakfast was included within the price of the stay and we were very impressed with both the food and the service. The breakfast was a buffet style including cooked breakfast, fruit, cereals, pastries, yoghurts, jams, toasts and fruitjuices. We had no complaints with regards to the food and filled ourselfs up every morning so as to avoid having to buy snacks later on!! The restaurant staff were very efficient, quickly cleared the tables and regularly topped up tea and coffee at your table.

All in all a great stay for a reasonably price, would definatly recommend!!

Summary: Everything you need for a weekend away
