Un colega y yo cenamos aquí a mitad de semana para encontrar el restaurante prácticamente vacío, lo cual no es una buena señal. Mi colega pidió el bistec y algunas batatas fritas mientras pedí una ensalada a base de remolacha. Terminamos con helado de chocolate y café. Sin alcohol y la factura llegó a más de 90, que pensé que era un poco rico. Las raciones no fueron particularmente generosas, a excepción de las papas fritas. El servicio estaba bien. En general, la experiencia fue algo decepcionante. No me apuraría y sugeriría que los visitantes coman en otro lugar.

This was great place to start the day before beginning out various excursions into London. The food was pretty good for a buffet and the service was fine. Only improvement would be to vary the menu more from day to day.

Por lo general, no soy muy aficionado a los restaurantes de hotel, pero esto fue mejor que de costumbre. Durante la semana que estuvimos en Londres comimos aquí cada mañana para su buffet. Recomiendo conseguir esto como parte de una reserva de habitación, de lo contrario, podría ser costoso. El buffet es muy completo y permite pedir entradas del menú. También almorzamos aquí y tomaron algunas deliciosas sopas. No está abierto para la cena, pero puede obtener muchos de los mismos artículos como parte de su menú de bar.

Nos quedamos agradablemente sorprendidos por todas las opciones de tocino, huevos de dos maneras diferentes, croquetas de patata, alubias, diversas frutas, queso y carne, galletas, croissants, etc.!

My husband and I stayed 7 days at the Doubletree-London. Buffet breakfast offered for around $15.00 a person. It's has a international flare. I love Waffles! The waffles offered were not fluffy, made by staff. They may want to purchased a waffle maker for the customers can make there own. It wasn't a over the top buffet.

Lovely helpful staff but unfortunately, terrible food which could have been served in any low-end chain / cafe. We ate last night, today my stomach is exploding. Sweet potato fries were stodgy, mushy and greasy. The fat chips were only 6 on a plate, think 2 layers of jenga, and looked a few days old so I didn't even try them. Mixed salad arrived SWIMMING in oil, absolutely gross, it came back with dressing on the side but was mainly a bowl of lettuce with a few tasteless cherry tomatoes chopped in half and some skinny slices of raw pepper. That does not make a salad! The bowl of nachos had 2 crumbled pieces of un-melted cheddar on top, the sharing med platter had a tiny bowl of crusted hummus, just about enough for one person but not enough to share, again given the crust, didn't touch it, bit of cheese, ham and more really greasy aubergine, peppers etc which we didn't eat. Fried calamari and courgettes consisted of 3 rings of squid and 3 pieces of courgette about 2 inches long. wow. deep fried and incredibly greasy. And this is a Hilton?! Terrible. Unless you're desperate don't bother! My stomach is churning as I type this.

We ordered a range of snacks for a group of 4, including a platter, nachos, tempura courgettes & calamari, salad and a range of fries and chips. Generally the quality of the food was disappointing, save for the french fries. The nachos basically consisted of corn chips with unmelted cheese and a few dollops of guacamole and tomato-ish sauce on top. The 6 large chips we were served as a side dish were not cooked all the way through, and the salad was oily and unappetising. The staff were accommodating to a certain extent when some of these issues were pointed out, but essentially the quality of the food remained poor.

We are a Swedish family and we were staying with our children and their paternal grandparents at the Double Tree Hilton at Westminster and ate often there, ( ie not just breakfast.) Two of our three children are allergic to milk protein and one is also allergic to soya products.This makes travelling and eating out rather difficult.We informed the staff at the hotel of this before our arrival and got the most fantastic response.They were vey helpful, above anywhere else we have stayed. They really went out of their way to make the children's stay a lovely experience free from tummy upsets etc.Greatly appreciated !!We are sorry we are rather late with this Review but life with 3 children (8,4 and 2 yrs) is rather hectic especially as we both have full-time jobs.

I made a reservation at the "City Cafe" DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London – Westminster following the purchase of vouchers from Travelzoo, as reviewers on the Tripadvisor web site had rated it highly.The restaurant is not in the theatre district but was well the short journey. The Travelzoo offer was excellent value for money. The choices on the "Specials" menu were good; the food was well presented and delicious. Staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient. I'd especially like to thank Ellinor for the efforts she and the other staff made to make my daughter’s birthday celebration special. I highly recommend this restaurant.

They will only allow 4 people in the party on this offer though so anymore and you may have think whether you can split, use tastecard or use the restaurant's own offer of 2 course for £22 or 3 for £28 (neither of these are really that bad).If you think 'HIlton' and expect a lavish location you will be disappointed. If you are looking for somewhere nice to try then I certainly recommend it.The food was great, the service was good apart from the end when we seemed to wait ages for dessert.Giving it a 4 due to waiting to order dessert.Have no problem to recommend this place.

Coming back late from Wimbledon, we needed a non-pub food restaurant. Given our location at the Doubletree Westminster, we were severely limited by choices. So, we ended up eating here two nights in a row. Was it great? No. Was it acceptable? Yes! The first night two of our party only had salads. Not so good. However three of us had real meals, and they were quite good (chicken, beef, hamburger). The next night, no salads, but chicken. Quite good. Given the late hour we came...shortly before kitchen close at 10:00pm...we were pleasantly surprised by the level of service and the quality of the food. This is the same place we ate breakfast, and the breakfast us quite good. I have eaten in a lot of hotels around the world, and this place us more than adequate.

I wanted to try the asparagus soup, but told our server that I was allergic to onions. She checked with the chef and told me both soups offered had onions, but that the grilled asparagus starter was a safe bet so I ordered it. It was fantastic! We also both ordered the fillet of beef which was incredibly tender and perfectly cooked, along with baby potatoes. I highly recommend the City Cafe restaurant!

Such a shame...Set in the heart of residential Westminster the City Café ought to be the place to go. Sadly, it’s not!The food is uninspiringly average. First courses came out best with appreciation for those who chose them, of the scallops and the Caesar salad. Main courses, though nicely presented, were not great. It’s the restaurant policy to cook beef burgers right through. Why? There should be enough confidence in their suppliers and their cooks to allow diners to have a rare beef burger if they wish. The result was chewy and tasteless, depending on spicy sauces to liven it up.But the mushroom risotto, despite an acceptable sauce was a leathery DISASTER!! Truly inedible. It should have been sent back but when you’re a guest and part of a group, you just have to accept it because of the potential embarrassment.There was a friendly welcome and helpful service, though rather too slow, and initially there was no-one on duty to say good-bye or to give us our coats.

A group of us went with vouchers - £34 for two people for three courses and half a carafe of wine. The set menu had limited options, but enough to cover most tastes. The Jerusalem artichoke soup for starter was the highlight, but things went downhill from there. My steak was full of gristle, although the meat around the bits I couldn't swallow was tasty enough and the fries were perfect. Sticky toffee pudding was stodgy, and covered in sickly sweet sauce that was underwhelming. The best bit was the unexpected accompaniment of a delicious scoop of ice cream in a pastry case. Sadly the service was like the dessert - stodgy and underwhelming. In particular it was very slow, which given the restaurant wasn't full, was annoying. We had to wait far too long to have our orders taken, then to get the wine, then each course, and finally coffees. Lacklustre best describes it.

This is the restaurant of the Doubletree Hotel, the downmarket brand of Hilton. The food here used to be terrible. Now it's actually pretty average. Totally industrial stuff of no interest whatsoever, but nothing that will kill you. The service however is rather friendly, even if it is a bit inexperienced. What lets this place down is the complete lack of management. Whatever remark you may make over days, weeks or even months of coming here, nothing will ever change, because no one seems to be in charge.

Seriously, there is no greater example of ridiculous rules and bad service than what my partner and I experienced at breakfast this morning. My partner made a simple request to have a tomato omelette at breakfast only to be told that this was not possible as it was the weekend and omelettes are only available as a daily special Monday through Friday. Utterly dumbstruck by what we had just learned I asked for the Restaurant Manager only to be told again that was not possible when she arrived! Getting nowhere fast I then asked to speak to the Hotel Manager and then got the classic line, "The Manager is not working today", meaning, 'I really can't be bothered to help you'. "So get me the person who's endorsing these stupid rules and running this pantomime!", I added irately. The 'Duty' Manager promptly arrived. After speaking with the kitchen he came back sticking his thumbs up in the air hailing an omelette victory! "It will be with you shortly", he said. A few moments later, we then saw an omelette being served to another gentlemen. I wonder if he had such a battle in ordering his. Aside from the fact that we are well travelled people and loyal Hilton customers, we have never been denied an omelette in any type of hotel. This is a basic staple of any breakfast menu and to be denied such a simple request in a four star hotel is utterly unacceptable. This is once again a typical example of the huge shortfalls in basic levels of service within the UK catering and hospitality industry. SORT IT OUT and don't make it such an effort for us to get the basic levels of service! After all - you can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs!

The booking during a weekend stay was simple and easy, but you need to do it in advance to ensure you that no other event is taking place or occurring on your chosen evening.The Restaurant is at the back of the hotel (ground floor) and looks out into a walk way between streets and has the same modern ambiance as the hotel.All the Staff provided a knowledgeable, friendly and efficient service from beginning to end. The wine menu was good as was the ‘al carte’ menu – not overly large, but definitely had something on it for all over the 3 courses ordered. This did take time as one would expect when items are being cooked to order but did not cause any concerns over the length of time taken.I can recommend this restaurant to all who are staying in the hotel if you don’t wish to go elsewhere, however there are some really good places close-by and they don’t have a discretionary 12.5% service charge.

the title says it all. The are perhaps a half dozen entrees at dinner but all are excellently prepared and service is impeccable. The breakfast buffet on the weekend is typical English style and the restaurant was very crowed BUT people were served quickly and the wait was minimal given the number of people. This hotel and especially the food service part is very, very, well run and should be used as a model for other Hilton properties.

Breakfast buffet had quite a variety of both hot and cold foods. Service was excellent. Dinner was also very good. Does not serve lunch, however the Millbank Cafe is open for lunch.

We stayed at the DoubleTree Westminster and after a long exhausting day in London we decided to eat dinner at the City Cafe which is located in the hotel itself.The food was really nice and well cooked.The service was great.

We booked an early evening meal in the restaurant (6.30pm) while none resident at the hotel. It was very quiet at that time as you would expect. However even though the starters arrived in reasonable time it was 40 mins between that and the main course. When it eventually arrived the meal was distinctly average and not 5 star standard at all. The staff were self absorbed and not attentive at all. We did complain that we were waiting a long time for our meal (per theatre) but there was no reason given we were just told 'its coming'. Overall not impressed at all.

Menu international ,personnel très aimable et disponible.les prix se trouvent dans une moyenne de prix similaire a ce que l'on aurait en France. je n'ai pas eu d'attente pour une table.La position de l'hôtel un peu en retrait de la tamise ne permet pas d'avoir un bon point de vue.pour cela,il vaut mieux aller au louange du dernier étage,très belle vue vers la grande roue et le parlement.

Had dinner with a business colleague in the City Café. The restaurant was fairly quiet but all the customers were being squeezed into one small part of the restaurant.We both ordered steaks which were well cooked but very expensive for the quality of the meal. The service was a little off. For some reason we were not served any bread and the wine that arrived was not the wine that I had ordered.Overall OK but pricey and let down by the inconsistent service. There are better choices in the area.

Recommend the salmon and the lamb. Avoid the pumpkin risotto -- it was watery and had pickled(!) pumpkin (the English should never try to replicate an Italian speciality). Excellent breakfast buffet.

Can't fault breakfast. Excellent staff, good clearing of tables and wide choice of buffet food. Dinner is beautifully cooked and served but menu just lacks imagination. Big plus for staff though - best I have come across in UK

I regularly stay in this hotel because of the excellent rooms and faultless service - reviewed separately. The breakfast here is an example to other restaurants as how to do it. From entrance to exit your are made to feel welcome with attentive staff who have the balance of interaction off to perfection. The food doesn't disappoint either. One may think that it is hard to cock up an English breakfast but many hotels do. This restaurant does breakfast brilliantly. There is a fine selection of fruits, cold meats, pastries and cheeses and then there is the hot breakfast selection which is lays well stocked, hot and good quality. Scrambled eggs always spot on and no crusty fried eggs here. For a change try the porridge which is served with brown sugar, cream, honey and raisins, it's a delight. (Park Plazas take note)I have had just one evening meal here as there is better value elsewhere when on a limited expense account. I had the salmon and it was, as I have come to expect at this hotel, perfectly cooked and very well presented. The service, as always, is the best I have encountered in all the London hotels I have stayed at. I look forward to staying and eating here.

Breakfast was included with our room rate. Since we do not need a huge breakfast I would not pay the price for the buffet but it is good food and lots of variety. The staffers are always helpful and friendly.

The breakfast buffet offered a variety of hot and cold choices. The food is good and average quality when compared with other hotels. The location is excellent especially if you're staying in the Doubletree Westminster. The customer service is excellent.

Went to tea at the Ritz and was not impressed. The scones were not good and not really scones. Ch and F&M offer better tea experience. Table setting and chairs were very cramped. Service was just ok.
