by tvor The Hilton hotels are normally out of my budget range and especially in the centre of a city like London. We were planning to spend a couple of nights in London en route between Brussels and Manchester so I perused hotel prices on my favourite sites, Londonnights.com and Londontown.com and lo and behold, for an early May weekend (Friday and Saturday night), Londontown was showing a total price of 65 pounds per night, taxes in, for a double room with buffet breakfast! Holy liftin'!!! I booked and prepaid that pretty sharpish. The location also worked well for us since we were arriving at St. Pancras International and leaving from Euston. We took the bus to the hotel since we only had carry on luggage and the hotel isn't too far from the bus stop just past Angel on Upper street. It's beside a large business design centre which might be why it was cheap on the weekend. There are stairs to the hotel but there is also a ramp. Check in was lovely, with a hotel like the Hilton you expect good service and we certainly got it. Our good sized room had a queen sized bed and an equally good sized bathroom had both shower and tub. It had all the amenities including a flat screen television, data jacks, a lounge chair and of course, tea and coffee making facilities. The decor was modern in muted tones and the bed and pillows were really comfy. I was pretty tired when we arrived and decided my aching feet weren't going to take me anywhere that night so we ordered room service. Couldn't get through using the button on the telephone so the reception took the order when i rang there. Room Service called back within a minute or two to confirm the order and it was delivered promptly when they said it would be. Breakfast is a full buffet and the dining room is bright and cheerful with lots of selection. Coffee/tea and juice are brought to you straight away. I've set the price per person below to what the usual cost is, about 100 pounds per room per night because I don't think our deal is the usual. Never hurts to check sites like those, however.
Location just off Upper Street is handy for busses and it's a block from the Angel tube station. The hotel is set back off the street in the back of a sort of courtyard beside a business centre so it's not noisy. Rooms are quiet, air conditioned, and service is very good. I don't think there's a pool or health club facilities in the hotel.
