We stayed at the kensington hilton last year and also had a next door flooding experience where someone turned on the faucet at 3am and fell asleep. When we called down at 7am to say our floor was wet they asked what we wanted. We said a dry room. Service recovery which I value since situation happen was good. They found a suite moved our stuff and provided without asking a decent bit of points..relative to a nights stay in that hotel was how i valued the compensation. Luckily we didn't have anything on the floor and nothing was damaged so we do like to tell the story. Ps for Jan we've booked the Conrad St James.
Please post on the Conrad! Will be going back to London in February and will NOT stay at the Waldorf. Too many good hotels to stay at a hotel where I spent more than a few thousand dollars for a bad experience and worse customer service. The funny thing is, is if they'd offered a free night or something reasonable, I'd have probably given them another shot because of the location. As it stands, though, no way. Life is too short to tolerate bad customer service...

Got an email from Hyatt about a few of their new properties in London I may look at.
