Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms, although having some issues like direct sunlight on the top floor, were decent, and the staff was accommodating. The service was lacking warmth and friendliness. The location was excellent and central, but there was a significant price hike. The dining options were below expectations, lacking variety and ambiance. Overall, the hotel had its ups and downs.
The hotel is conveniently located with easy access to popular attractions and public transportation. The rooms, although small and not exactly matching the online photos, were well-equipped and situated on the ground floor. Unfortunately, our stay was affected by loud noise from the kitchen above. The service was satisfactory but could have been more helpful, and the price offered good value for the great location. The neighborhood boasts a variety of dining options and proximity to Hyde Park, making it a desirable place to stay.
The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, though noise from neighboring rooms can be disruptive at night. The service is friendly and helpful, making check-in and check-out smooth. The location is ideal for exploring London, with easy access to the subway and attractions. The dining options are decent but could use more variety. Overall, a good choice for travelers on a budget.
I loved how spacious the room was; it was like having two big rooms in one with plenty of space. However, the proximity to the noisy kitchen extractor was a downside in the mornings. The hotel offers a handy mobile phone for free local calls and navigation, a rarity in London, making it a great value for money.
When I arrived at 11 pm, my room was small but clean and functional, although smaller than expected. The staff were all very helpful and cheery, and it was refreshing to freshen up after a long flight. The location was amazing, just 3 minutes from the tube and Hyde Park, offering easy access to transportation. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with limited breakfast options available. Overall, a cozy stay with some minor setbacks.
I had a lovely short stay at the hotel. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed, although it was a bit uncomfortably hot. The service was extremely nice and friendly, especially the breakfast ladies who made our stay really special. The location was good, near a tube station and a park for pleasant strolls. The dining experience consisted of a buffet style English breakfast and a continental selection, not overly fussy but with enough choice. Overall, a nice stay with a few minor issues.
I had a fantastic stay at this hotel! The rooms were just what we needed, clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was more than adequate. The breakfast and service were better than some 5-star places I've stayed in. The location was ideal, just a few yards from the subway and buses to all attractions. Definitely recommend for a short stay in London.
The hotel had a quiet location near the parks, with two tube stations conveniently close by. The rooms were a nice size and comfortable, but unfortunately, the small layout made it difficult for my disabled wife. The service was polite overall, although there were issues with refunds and friendliness when discussing concerns. The dining options were perfect, and the facility was up to par with my expectations.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is super central, the rooms are fresh but a bit noisy, and the service was friendly but lacked warmth. It's very convenient for exploring the city, and the dining options are decent.
The hotel is located conveniently close to parks and public transportation, offering modern and clean rooms with all necessary amenities. The service was exceptional with extremely polite and helpful staff. The dining options were varied and plentiful, catering to different tastes.
Even though our room on the top floor was a bit too small for two single beds and got very hot, the staff offered to move us, which was considerate. We opted to stay and used the fans available. The service was exceptional, with the staff being lovely, smiley, professional, and helpful. The location was convenient, being right near Hyde Park and within a few minutes' walk of Kensington Palace. The dining options were limited and a bit pricey, with no vegetarian items available. The facilities were well-maintained and satisfying overall.
The hotel was conveniently located near Queensway Underground with plenty of restaurants and shops around, making it a great spot to explore the area. The rooms, though small, had a cosy feel but were a bit cold due to poor window adjustment. The service was polite and helpful, with friendly staff but lacking in initial information. The dining options offered a mix of good and disappointing choices. Overall, a decent stay with a few minor drawbacks.
The hotel has small rooms that looked tired when transitioning from a single to a double room, yet they were very clean and cozy. The service was impeccable with polite and friendly staff, especially at the in-house restaurant. The location is superb, near trains and buses, making it convenient for travelers exploring London. However, the dining options were really limited, lacking vegetables, and the facilities were not in great condition.
The hotel is in a very good location, very near Hyde Park and a couple of metro lines and supermarkets, which was perfect for me. The rooms were old but generally clean, although a bit small to comfortably fit two suitcases. The staff, while friendly, were not overly helpful, and there were some issues with getting a refund for an extended stay. The dining options were a bit disappointing and overpriced, with limited choices. The organic jams were a nice touch, but not worth the high cost. The facilities were organized and extensive, offering a good experience overall.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms, while small as expected for a single room, were surprisingly better than other similar hotels with their cleanliness and tidiness. The service was very accommodating, from offering juice from a well-known low-price brand to being friendly and attentive throughout my stay. The location near Bayswater was quiet yet convenient, close to Hyde Park and easy access to central London. However, the dining options were disappointing, offering only cold continental choices at an extra charge.
