We stayed at the hotel for 2 nights on 25th and 26th August 2006.We found the reception staff not very welcoming and they would not even speak to us let alone let us check in until after 3pm.
The room was good when we eventually got it and the location of the hotel is good for travellers coming from Heathrow or the west of the country, because it is attached by a walkway to paddington train station.
There is nowhere to sit downstairs in the hotel because the reception come lounge area is also the bar and they do not like it if you just sit there even for 2 minutes without buying a drink which the prices I might add were not cheap £ 5.00 for a cup of coffee and £9.00 for 2 diet cokes??? Buy in Boots Sainburys or Starbucks downstairs if you want a drink. In the evening they even had signs on the table saying you could only sit on the chairs if you were buying a drink and that there was a minimum £10.00 spend.We ate at the hotel on the second night the food and prices were average for a 4* hotel £17.00 upwards for a main meal.
If you want a nice beer in the train station on the balcony check out the mad bishop and bear pub and krispy cream for the delicious doughnuts nearly as good as the USA.
I would stay there again because of the location but probably wouldnt eat there as there are better retaurants in London.The breakfast is Ok as british standards go but do not compare to USA buffets by any means; Golden Corale it aint.

Stayed for 3 nights and no complaints at all.
Opposite the circle line and on the bus route if you need transprt or a very enjoyable 20 min walk to marble arch.
Rooms are big and bathroom as you would expecty for a hilton.
No Noise at all from paddington station even though we looked over it.
Area around the hotel is good with resteraunts and cafes and bars and not that far from Queensway with even more nigth life.
Loved it and would deffinitly stay again

Stayed here 3 nights in August 2006 - great staff, rooms, and breakfast. Be sure to get it included in your room rate - its 20 GBP each but it is very robust. I am a Hiilton Silver member but the clerk upgraded us to Gold so we got free breakfast, upgraded room, as well as the free happy hour and appetzers each night. as well as Internet. Great location Its right at the metro station and the Heathrow Express. The Big Red Bus Tours stops right across the street and its close to many pubs etc...

EXCELLENT.
Air Conditioning worked perfectly. A quality hilton experience. All the aminities you would expect. Great location. Directly above Paddington station with the Heathrow express (15 minute express train to the airport.) Our room included free dinner the first night and breakfast. Breakfast was worth it, but I would pass on the dinner next time. Family friendly. Poor gym and no pool. This is a central location and definately an excellent place if you want easy access to the heathrow terminals (I really dislike staying at the Heathrow airports - this is my new better option for overnights in london)
