The Hilton London Green Park is set in an old Georgian townhouse in the heart of Mayfair in central London.
The best part of this hotel is its location. It is between Hyde Park and Green Park. The main fun areas of London and the best shopping (like Harvey Nichols!) are all within a 20-minute walk. Best of all, Mayfair has wonderful little shops, pubs, and great restaurants within a 5-minute walk. The neighbourhood is also quiet and safe.
I found a wonderful little Mexican-Polish restaurant called L’Autre on the street behind the hotel. It’s run by a kind, retired Polish man who enjoys serving his delicious food. It also had a wonderful atmosphere, with lots of interesting items along the walls.
The breakfast is plentiful and good quality. They have an omelet station and a porridge station, and I thoroughly enjoyed their vegetarian breakfast sausage.
The rooms were small, but quaint and comfortable. As usual with Hilton hotels, the beds and pillows are quite comfortable.
After a couple of nights, I complained to the front desk, and the staff moved my belongings to a new room on the top floor of the hotel. They left me some fresh fruit in the new room, and I had high hopes the noise levels would be better. They were not. Not only were my
neighbours loud, but housekeeping was very loud and seemed to enjoy slamming doors.
I complained again, and this time, they brought up a bottle of wine “to help me sleep.” I appreciated the gesture, and it actually did help a bit.
In the end, due to the noise levels, I can’t imagine staying at this hotel again. If you’re the type of person who doesn’t mind the noise or who can sleep with earplugs in throughout the night, then I would certainly recommend it.
