A Hilton Hotel

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Bar Prices

...We booked the room online at www.Hilton.co.uk, Hilton guarantee that their best rates are available online. We booked a few months in advance and got a really good rate. Rates do change, at the moment double roms are £110 per night with guest room plus rooms £134. Because I boked well in advance i got a double plus room (gets a sea view, fluffy bath robes etc) for under £100. The Wbsite has info about the hotel including pictures of rooms etc The hotel is relatively modern with lots of car parking. When we checked in Reception was busy but was very efficient. All the public areas of the hotel were spotlessly clean On balance a hotel that I'm likely to stay at again. I stayed on a Sunday, arriving in time for Sunday lunch. The Restaurant, the Promenade, has a Carvery which was extremely good with starters of either soup or a help...

Review of Hilton Hotel, Blackpool

Hilton Hotel - York

Advantages: Excellent location
Disadvantages: Weird car-park

...I went to the Hilton for 3 nights from 27th-30th December 08 during the Christmas period. I went with a friend and her family who had gone to the Hilton the previous Christmas. The rooms were £99 per night for 2 people which I thought was very reasonable. (Although I'm aware depending on season this cost can vary) This included bed, breakfast and a 3 course evening meal (the evening meal only on one night) My friend took charge of booking us into the room so I never discovered how easy it was to book yet I never heard any complaints about the process. Arrival and Check-in When we arrived at the hotel we were directed to an underground car-park. I wasn't too keen on the car park which comprised rows of 3 cars tightly parked together actually parking each other in! Our car was at the front yet I'm not sure how the third car back...

Birmingham Britannia Hotel - Average

Advantages: central location, reasonable room size
Disadvantages: dated furniture, noisy generator, rubbish towels

...I stayed at this hotel for work purposes on Monday 3rd March in a single room on the sixth floor. We paid £70 B&B. My initial reaction was to be extremely negative about this hotel, however, on reflection i think it is important to point out some of its good points. I would not say it was an enjoyable experience, however, it was adequate and i've had worse! On the plus side - This is a proper city centre hotel - right in the centre of town, close to shops. If you are visiting Birmingham to shop, this is perfect. The kettle and toilet were clean, which is always a good start! The member of staff who booked me in was pleasant and helpful. There was an error with our booking, we had 4 rooms booked, but only two of us were on the list. She gave me the list to check through - which had other guest's names and personal details...

Hilton Coventry Hotel

Advantages: Close to main road network & NEC. Very helpful staff
Disadvantages: Not a great deal within walking distance

...An eventful recent (March 2008) visit in order to compile this review, but more about that aspect later. This hotel is part of the international Hilton chain, and was chosen by my wife and I for a winter/spring weekend break for us along with our 16 month-old little boy. We have stayed at numerous Hilton group hotels previously in the UK and in other parts of the world and have usually been pleased with their standards. This was a 'last minute' booking, so we had to take what was available, and on initially being offered 'Coventry' we weren't too keen - we had visions of not talking to one another whilst we were there !! However I can say that we were pleasantly surprised by the hotel. It was very easy to find, especially with a sat-nav! However without the aid of technology and relying on a good old-fashioned map then it...

Review of Hilton Coventry Hotel

The Hotel Which Time Forgot

Advantages: Cheap, great location
Disadvantages: Thin walls, decor has seen better days

...I have stayed in hotels from time to time after a night out as it often works out as cheaper than getting a taxi home for me! This is what first brought me to stay at the Britannia, and I have stayed there a total of 4 times so far. Features Provided in the Hotel The Britannia Birmingham is a large hotel in the city centre of Birmingham, and part of a chain of Britannia hotels across the country. The Britannia boasts: 195 rooms General Restaurant Bar 24-Hour Front Desk Non-Smoking Rooms Business Centre with free of charge internet The 9th floor of the hotel is devoted to conferences and banquets Room Service Check-In from 14:00 hours Check-Out until 11:00 hours Price I usually book my stays at the Britannia through lastminute.com as I find it is often cheaper than just turning up on the day...

Review of Britannia Hotel, Birmingham

Hilton Hotel, Gatwick

Advantages: Right on the Airport doorstep and connected via walkways.
Disadvantages: NOT cheap!

...walk back into the airport to eat and drink if you are staying the day before a trip. Otherwise its the hotel restaurant where they like you to book but you'll get straight in as I never saw it busy! There is a lounge area, with a few dozen tables in the centre area with waitress service. It can be a little slow especially if its busy. Consider signing up for the Hilton Honors card before you go. Its free but will enable you to get to check in or out quicker than other people. BOTTOM LINE: Good Point: You can walk to the airport in about 5 mins so NO fiddleing about with getting curtsey buses! Bad Point: It'll cost a bit more than other hotels but the convenience of the location could well make up for it....

Review of Hilton London Gatwick Airport, London

Welcome to the Overlook...sorry, the Hilton.

Advantages: The lobby and restaraunts just might make you feel like a high flyer.
Disadvantages: Gloomy exterior, matched by the anonymous bedrooms. Extortionately expensive, for what it is.

...I was a nervous wreck when I got there. My Manager had barrelled along the motorway to the Birmingham Hilton at around 110mph, fag in one hand, mobile in the other, sometimes negotiating bends by steering with his elbow. I'm a bit of a nervous passenger, and my life flashed before my eyes on several occasions. I was at the NEC for a PC World conference. A year's worth of dealing with the public had earned me a customer service award, and I was chosen to attend the yearly software conference, PC World's most lavish and important bash. No expense was spared - not only was I accomodated for two nights at the Hilton Metropole, but I was fed, watered and pumped full of booze, all at the Dixon Group's expense. Now THAT was impressive - the only money I spent in two days was £3.60 on a beer - the scale of the tab Dixons picked up...

Review of Hilton Birmingham Metropole, Birmingham

Hilton Hotel, Vienna

Advantages: Great Central Location with efficient staff
Disadvantages: Small gym and Spa

...This is a smart and clean hotel in the central part of Vienna. The capital is within walking distance but the hotel is also close to the tram stops making travel even easier. Consider booking via their website or an independent agent, for best prices. Apply for the 'free' Hilton Honours card (rewards available and priority checkin & checkout). The staff are helpful and nothing is too much. Breakfast is very good with a varied choice of foods. The hotel bars are small but never seemed to get fully packed out. Ask for some nuts and a bowl for free will be supplied. The rooms are comfortable and of a good size. Its very clean throughout. The gym is tiny but there is a spa and its suitable to take a glass & drinks into. I've given it a 5star excellent rating as it was fault free. The service is superb, the hotel clean and tidy...

Review of Hilton Vienna, Vienna

Disastrous conference in Birmingham

Advantages: Location
Disadvantages: Overpriced and unhelpful, zero customer service.

.... When I queried the size of the bill to double check, immediately there was nearly £200 worth of charges which disappeared as they could not account for them, - it certainly makes you wonder how much extra cash they make from events like these when they can just write off that money. To say I was disapppointed would be an understatement. Everything I asked for was ignored, all the promises which were made were not kept to, the whole thing was the most badly organised. I would never ever ever have another event in this hotel ever and I don't even think I would stay there either. The hotel itself is very non descript and completely overpriced. On top of all that many of the delegates had to park in neighbouring hotels as their car park was not big enough! What a mess!!!! The hotel itself is located at the NEC in Birmingham...

Review of Hilton Birmingham Metropole, Birmingham

Dublin Hilton deserves a toast in Guinness

Advantages: Excellent Dublin base with good service
Disadvantages: None really

...Booking: For the second day of my short, last-minute trip to Dublin, I really needed to be in the centre of the city as I had a lot of stuff to do and so it made sense to complete my quest to stay in 3 Hilton hotels during December and January and claim my free £50 Visa card as a reward, by staying at the Hilton Hotel Dublin: http://www1.hilton.com/enUS/hi/hotel/DUBDUHN-Hilton-Dublin-hotel/index.do As usual I went into the Hilton website - http://hhonors.hilton.com via Quidco in order to get my 6% cashback. I do recommend becoming a member of HiltonHonors because of the occasional little perks it can give you, please read further for more details. My booking went through OK and speedily as usual, and I was pleased to see that despite booking only 2 days before arrival, I was able to bag a Queen-size bedded room...
