Stayed one night in the Doubletree Westminster last week, and we were not very impressed.

Location. The hotel is close to Westminster Abbey and the Houses of Parliament, but the surrounding streets are pretty dead: a business area with very few restaurants. The entrance has a distinct "back alley" feel to it. The Tate Britain is very close, though. During the day, there were two to three taxis waiting in front of the hotel (convenient).

Elite treatment. We received the complimentary water and the free breakfast (although it showed up as 42 pounds on the bill before we complained), but nothing else. The room was a nice corner room with a nice view towards the south, but not an upgrade.

Amenities. The in-room amenities were extremely basic: no sewing kit, no shoehorn, no slippers, low-quality bathroom amenities.

Breakfast. The breakfast was the low point. Continental breakfast for 16 pounds with a decent cereal selection, but almost nothing beyond that: cheese in plastic wrap. The hot breakfast (for 21.50 pounds) was OK (but that is expected in any half-decent hotel in the UK).

iMac. As mentioned by others in the MINT thread, the former MINT hotels offer free wifi and an iMac in the room. Nice touch, but rarely necessary (I am mostly travelling with my own computer).

All in all, I don't think that this property ranks very highly among the Hilton properties in London. I'd rather stay at the Hilton Tower Bridge.
