What guests think

At Hilton London Metropole, travellers praise the convenient location by Paddington and Edgware Road and many note friendly staff and modernized spaces, but reviews frequently cite dated rooms in some wings and sporadic maintenance problems.

Cleanliness feedback ranges from spotless to reports of hairs, mold, and pests, while some rooms feel small or noisy due to thin walls or traffic. Breakfast is widely liked but can involve long queues; the lounge, bar, and restaurant draw mixed comments on value and speed. The gym earns praise, while lifts can be slow or out of service, parking is expensive, and a few guests experienced water or temperature issues. Overall, expect a well-connected base with variable room quality and service.

Room was tired and neglected, everything just seemed very run down. £44 for 8 hours of parking, a rip off, it was £32 less than a month ago. Last time I'll be staying here and it's a shame as it was my usual go to.

Overall a comfortable hotel, which was good value considering it is central London. Location great for Paddington area and also access to Wembley Stadium. Stayed in Executive King, room comfortable but felt there was nothing different to any standard rooms had stayed in at other Hilton’s (Curio, Hampton and doubletree) except the access to the executive lounge. Check in was very busy, not enough desks for the number of people. Our room was not ready and had to wait. I found the 1st receptionist not helpful - just told wait should be 10 minutes. No access to executive lounge provided or any info - just that the digital key will be activated. 40 minutes later not ready, rejoined the queue and new room sorted by someone a lot more helpful. Executive Lounge was an experience. The staff were great but sadly no ‘afternoon tea’. Disappointed that the offerings were crisps, biscuits or some fruit. Breakfast was the opposite and a great deal of choice and variety.

Massive hotel on Edgeware Road - clean and efficient. Car park seems to be owned by a separate group and is very expensive. I was charged more than the displayed prices. For the price of the rooms you would expect some kind of discount on parking but I guess that's central london. Location is great for tubes and the restaurants down Edgeware Rd. Paddington Basin is a short walk and worth a visit

Aside from this hotels rooms being a bit dated it has a serious bug problem in the guest rooms. Our first night we noticed a large drain gnat above the bathroom door I noted but didn't make a big deal about it. Later on we started to notice fruit flies and other peski flying insects that became a nuisanse but dealt with it for the evening. The following day my daughter found an insect crawling in her clothes that she had stored in the hotels dresser. We filed a complaint with the manager on duty, (Isma) and had a front desk clerk move us to a different room that unfortunately had the same issues. Isma promised she would follow up with me on her findings and a resolution to my complaint but never did. Issues we encountered included bugs in both the bathroom and bedroom furniture, a dirty towel and subpar room cleaning services. Staff at the hotel was friendly but we were not happy with the service/accomodations provided. I found it to be unprofessional the Hilton London Metropole didn't offer a resolution to our ongoing issues. They did however write an apology note and give us a bowl of fruit and juice!?

This hotel was a huge disappointment. We booked 2 rooms, both rooms were small, had pretty bad odor. The room I stayed in had splatters on the walls and blood staines on the bed sheets, and the room smelled bad, there’s no noise isolation what so ever and you can hear everything happening in the corridors and the next rooms, when I informed the front desk they were kind enough to change the room for me however the new room was also suboptimal it still had the strange smell, the bath towels were dirty and had hair on them, it also had the same zero noise isolation and the corridors were pretty noisy at night, anther thing to note is that the bathrooms had no ventilations in them which is very inconvenient as the bathroom would get foggy and wet after you take a shower. So in summary I was very disappointed with this hotel it did not meet my expectations based on the descriptions provided on the website and it’s really not worth the amount of money paid to stay in this hotel, would definitely never book there again.

Rooms

Quality varies widely: renovated rooms are modern and comfortable, while many others feel dated or tired and have maintenance issues (AC/heating, drainage, broken fixtures). Some are small or noisy, but higher floors can offer good views.

Loved the modern look and feel of the rooms. We chose a renovated room and it was very lovely. The internal view didn’t get much sunlight but it wasn’t too bad. There is a bar and cafe on the ground floor which is very convenient. It is also located near many tube stations and plenty of food options, as well as a superdrug & M&S nearby if you need to purchase anything. Would definitely stay again!

The maintenance worker took us down on the the employee elevator d/t malfunctioning elevator after standing and waiting for 10 minutes. Proximity to the tube station was very good. It was about half a block away.

I did not have a pleasant stay at this Hilton property. Initially the desk staff Zaid gave away 1 of the 2 rooms I booked while I was checking in. This was a miscommunication between him and the other clerk Joshua and I was left with only one room available. The clerk Zaid was rude in how he handled the incident mentioning he was doing me a “favor”. When I returned a female clerk attended to me after speaking with Zaid and assigned me a room with bugs! I’ve attached pictures of the bugs in the room. I complained about this, and by this time my partner had arrived. He went to address this with the staff and at this point I was given a decent room. I DO NOT recommend this hotel for a girls trip or women traveling alone!! They do not make women feel safe without a man present. My partner lives in London and came to stay to ensure our safety. I chose this hotel bc of proximity to tube and central. We came in town for the NFL game and a celebration of life during the week. So this was convenient. However, the staff while checking in did not meet Hilton’s standard.

Excellent service. Arrived from Vancouver after a nine hour flight about 30 minutes early for check in. The girl behind the counter originally asked us to wait 30 minutes but when I said we were dying to get in and get washed up and have a nap after a red eye flight she got us in immediately and no extra charge. These little acts of kindness are what separates the good from the great places to stay.

Stay was excellent. Staff member at front desk seemed put out having to check us in. She appeared to have just dealt with a tough client right before us, and he patience was limited. That said, staff in the executive lounge was excellent, friendly and very helpful. I was told to check back via the app with front desk to see when my room was ready, which i kept doing until 3pm. Finally i brought it to the attention of the individual in the lounge, he tried several times to get the front desk, and was unable to. Just as i was getting ready to go back down myself, the person in the lounge offered to go down and get the room sorted on my behalf. Suggestion, if the hilton app chat does not work, or front desk is not going to answer within a reasonable time, don't direct to it. Also, 2nd suggestion, for those traveling from overseas and having to wait for a room, put a shower facility in your workout area, most hotels i have stayed at in London in the past have this, and unfortunately coming from the Americas this is really the only reason i would not use this hotel in the future. I usually come to London on business, arriving early morning, needing a shower before going to my office.

I had burger and coke, and charged to my room. Upon checkout, I see the bill of over 100gbp. They took over 30 minutes to sort it out, and nearly miss my flight to JFK. Be careful. Check the bill. I had expected that staying with a major hotel chain would safeguard against such problems, but unfortunately, that was not the case at this property. Very disappointed.

Possibly the worst £650 I’ve ever spent on a one night stay. My privacy was violated by the cleaning team members. My checkout time was noon 12. I went for breakfast and came back at 11:30 to all my luggage opened on the table scattered!!! I called security and management. Who were the worst! All the had to say to me was that I didn’t have a privacy card on my door so they violated your space, are you serious?? If my touch out time is noon why the hell is anyone entering my room!!! Zero hospitality shown no accommodation no accountability was shown by the manager and security guy mahmoud.

The hotel has a convenient central location but the surrounding area felt very uncomfortable and unsafe at night. The lobby facilities have been renovated but the lobby bathroom stalls did not lock and the rooms are below subpar. The hallways were dirty and smelled of mold. The room was old and worn, with dirty carpets and blinds, the deadlock at the door did not work due to warpage.
