hiltons uk

the standards of hiltons in the UK are wide and varied. Generally you can get a 5 star lavish property, but then find a 3 star property in the same group. I guess historically it is how hilton international rolled out it's standard in the UK unlike the standards in the US. You will find some hiltons resembling more of a travelodge/best western type feel than the hiltons many have been used to, yes with no exec floor, dated interiors, etc. Their prices are generally OK compared to similar UK properties (ie GBP60-70/night). I do understand that Hilton US which now owns hilton international, are slowly making changes to standardise hiltons in the UK like they've standardised the US. And also, they may roll out brands like hilton garden inn and hampton inn. Which unfortunately hilton international were not/did not roll out.
