A classic city hotel, it is literally attached to Victoria Station and a 5-minute tube ride from Piccadilly Circus. It is ideal both for those who need to get around Pimlico and other central London areas for work and for those looking for a strategically located hotel to spend a few days in the city.

If you are a Hilton Honors member you know this, if you are not you must become one and learn that if you want to enjoy all the benefits offered by the Honors loyalty program, you should only book through the website or app.
Rooms in London are not cheap, it is common knowledge, having the advantage of enjoying free breakfast saves about twenty euros per night.
As you can see the cost of the room was about 185€ per night, expensive for being in a DoubleTree but absolutely in line for being in London. At the end of my stay I earned 8,341 Hilton Honors points.
The room
Rooms in London are never large; this hotel, on the other hand, offers absolutely pleasant rooms in full Hilton style.
The only flaw is that there are no rooms with king beds, only rooms with two queen beds, which, as in my case, were approached.
While this means having an even larger bed than a King mattress, it also means that you will be sleeping on two separate mattresses and as you can see in this case the bed was not even joined by the sheet, I personally find this solution very uncomfortable.
The bathroom was also Hilton-style, the size adequate, although the presence of the bathtub does not make showering c0ncomfortable.
The bathroom kit is classic for hotels in this chain.
On the ground floor, the hotel houses a small relaxation area and the breakfast restaurant.
The room is not very large, and between 8 and 9 a.m. it is difficult to find a free table to sit at for breakfast.
The breakfast buffet is classic; some "a la carte" dishes can also be ordered, but the offer is certainly sufficient to satisfy the vast majority of customers.
