My stay at The Waldorf Hilton was quite nice, with charming surroundings and attentive staff, though there were a few minor hiccups. The room was spacious and impeccably clean, which contributed to a comfortable experience. However, I did notice some issues with noise insulation, which detracted from the overall peace during the night. The dining options, especially the breakfast, were truly good and a highlight of my visit.

I had a mixed experience at The Waldorf Hilton. The rooms were comfortable and well-decorated, though some had limited views due to ongoing renovations. Unfortunately, my stay was marred by a room allocation issue and noise disturbances, which significantly impacted my overall enjoyment. On the positive side, the staff were attentive and eager to help, which made a difference.

The rooms were clean and well-maintained, featuring comfortable beds and ample amenities. However, some rooms lacked natural light and views, as mine faced an inner courtyard with just a wall in front. which wasn't ideal for a restful stay.

The staff were friendly and eager to assist. especially at the front desk. They offered help with room allocation and were proactive in addressing issues. At times, though, the handling of my specific needs fell short, particularly in communication regarding room readiness.

The hotel's location next to Covent Garden is a definite plus, making it easy for me to explore the area. It's close to many attractions, which really enhanced my visit. However, the ongoing renovations did obscure some views from my room.

The facilities were adequate with services like room service and housekeeping. While I didn't take full advantage of the dining options or gym, the general offerings seem promising for a hotel of this caliber. It would be nice to have clearer instructions available for some amenities.

My recent stay at The Waldorf Hilton had its ups and downs. On the positive side, the hotel's charming atmosphere and the staff's good attentiveness made an impression. However, significant issues with cleanliness and maintenance overshadowed the experience, leading to a disappointing overall impression.
Rooms
5.0
The cleanliness was far below expectations, with dirty towels and a bathtub that needed serious attention. I was quite shocked to find hairs and dirt upon arrival. The overall state of the rooms felt dated, and the issues with the plumbing made for an uncomfortable stay.
Service
5.0
While the staff were friendly and welcoming, there were notable lapses in service quality. My calls to reception often went unanswered, and it took an inordinate amount of time to get my luggage brought to the room. Additionally, a lack of communication from staff regarding breakfast timings was frustrating.
Location
8.0
The hotel's location is fantastic, offering easy access to Covent Garden and various attractions in London. This made it convenient to explore the city, although navigating the corridors of the hotel was a bit of a task.
Dining

The breakfast buffet had a wide range of options, but experiencing long queues due to undelivered food turned a potentially good meal into a stressful one. It was disappointing to be misinformed about breakfast times, especially when we arrived hopeful for a late start.
Facilities

The facilities left much to be desired; the swimming pool was outdated and cold, and it felt like the hotel could benefit from a refresh overall. The gym was decent but could use better maintenance as well.

My room was clean and spacious, and the breakfast was a highlight with a ton of delicious options.
