There’s work going on which to be fair they let you know about. Didn’t really make a difference to our stay. Check in was seamless, waiter and waitress in the restaurant on Saturday evening were lovely and so attentive. Room was clean and comfortable

Room felt dirty. Sparsely furnished. Booked a superior double was very inferior. The onky good point was the view. Reception staff were not particularly welcoming on arrival. Security of the hotel was extremely lax. The main reception was closed due to refurbishment entry via parking underground garage which anyone could access which meant anyone could access the floors to the bedrooms. Only redeeming featuree were the staff in the breakfast room who were helpful and friendly with a smile. Overpriced and not what one would expect for a Hilton Hotel.
