As we’ve mentioned earlier, Hilton is running a very generous promotion for day use rooms<\/a>. It also happens that I need to spend a few more quid to redeem my Amex cashback deal, so I was looking to spend a few hours in a London Hilton hotel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cheapest option in London is Hilton Hyde Park<\/a>, for a ridiculously low price of \u00a340. However I needed to spend \u00a344 to trigger the Amex offer, So in the end I chose the (slightly more expensive) Hampton Waterloo<\/a> hotel which is more convenient for me as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hotel is around five-minutes’ walk to the Waterloo train station. Although there’s not much to do in the area, it’s a good base to explore London due to the transport links, and its proximity to the Thames may be preferable to some.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As London is in lockdown and the hotel is only running with skeleton staff, the entrance is closed and you need to buzz the get in. The ground floor \/ reception area looks quite new and functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was assigned a Queen Room with City View, which is sort of an upgrade due to my Diamond status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can expect from a Hampton hotel, the room is a bit on the small and basic side. It should offer you what you need though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bathroom is shower-only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There isn’t much of a view, but you do see a bit of the City \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I only stayed a few hours in the room I don’t have much more to say. The hotel and its rooms are definitely adequate, but from my previous observations it’s not really a lot cheaper than its full-service counterparts in London (Hiltons and Doubletrees). You probably prefer to stay somewhere else as long as you have status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My points (including the 10,000 bonus) and two night credits posted OK a couple days later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
