The Waldorf Hilton enjoys a superb location near Covent Garden and the theatre district, making it easy to reach major attractions. Guests find the rooms spacious and well-appointed, with some noting delightful 1920s-style décor, espresso machines, and effective soundproofing. Some guests have mentioned that noise from events can occasionally be heard in the rooms. However, many appreciate the hotel's classic elegance and proximity to landmarks like the Royal Opera House and Trafalgar Square.

low pressure cold towel rack
the staff was really good from arrival until departure , and the facilities were well kept.
the bathroom shower was not great , because the water pressure was low and the shower head required standing too close to get wet. despite contacting housekeeping twice and the front desk once , the heated towel rack remained cold. i found out it only heated up after running the shower for a while , but no one informed me of this. THERE was no apology from the hotel management.
