We stayed there a couple of years ago. We had several rooms (can't remember exactly how many - we were travelling with friends). Each one had two queens, plus a rollaway which we hadn't asked for!

We've stayed there twice. The first time (1998) we booked via Virgin and the second (2002) ABC Holiday extras. Each time we had a family room with 1 double and 2 single beds as well as 15 nights parking. We had to pay extra (another £50 I think) for a family room.

Maybe the're just fully booked for your date.

Are you trying to book through ABC? We had the same problem booking our family room with them too so we tried FHR - no problem at all!

Hi Ian5150

I had the same problem trying to book on the net. In the end I telephoned them direct and there was no problem booking one room for two adults and two children with car parking.

Hope this helps.

We had to book months in advance but we got 2 family rooms - a double bed & 2 singles in each. Booked direct with the hotel.

Had this problem with them many times. They won't allow more than one child in a normal room, even though 2 will physically fit ! They only have normal rooms available via the web site. Book through ABC or a travel agent and you have access to 'family' rooms which are the size of two normal rooms but run together. They have one king bed and two singles. Don't even think about booking these direct with Hilton - prices are just plain silly. Go via ABC Holiday Extras for the best price.

Ask for a family room overlooking the atrium - nice view and surprisingly we have found these quieter than the ones in the wings.
