Good location in London
Posted Sep 26, 2016
Pros: Location
Cons: Get rid of the giant bathtub in the bathroom and replace with a walk-in shower. This would free up space for a decent sized vanity and sink.
Location: As above
This is a hotel in an old terraced building across from Hyde Park in the west end of London. Rooms are very small, bathrooms even smaller. Rooms now have A/C which on my previous visits was not the case. They have also added an iron and small ironing board where previously they only had the old fashioned trouser press. There is a safe in the room but a small fridge would be a nice addition. Best part is the location. An easy walk to Paddington station which takes you to and from Heathrow airport. Hyde park and Kensington Gardens are close by and a 20 minute walk through the gardens gets you to British Museum and the V&A. Lancaster Gate tube station is a 2 minute walk and you are then on the Central Line along Oxford Street for shopping.

close to transportation
Posted Sep 21, 2016
Pros: Staff and convenience to train station (Paddington); the Underground station (Lancaster Gate) and bus stop (94, 274, 148,390, & hop on/hop off)
Cons: Ensure elevators are working. Have bathroom shelving and towel hook better placed. Towel hook above the door is too high for short people.
Location: Across from Hyde Park; near Queensway where Mall is located; small restaurants in street behind hotel, nice pub - The Swan - next door,
Only 1 elevator was working during entire stay. Bathroom was modern - no bath - but a shower which was awkward to use since shower was main feature (no shower curtain) so you had to walk on wet tiles to use the sink. Difficult to get into bed since space between bed and wall was no more than, seemingly, 8 inches on one side and less on the other.

Convenient hotel for a London break

Pros: localtion, public rooms, breakfast
Cons: lifts. Drainage of wet room
Location: Hyde Park, Oxford Street
room small, but well equipped, and bed comfortable. Wet room did not drain properly, making showering a challenge. Lifts slow, but I understand awaiting an engineer

There are definitely better places!

Pros: Proximity to transit
Cons: Staff courtesy, quality of key cards, cleanliness of the room, elevator access to that basement level!!
Stayed here for access to city transit. They put us in a room in the far corner of the lower level (read basement). This is inspite of having a child with us. This multistory hotel has an elevator that does not service the level we are in and we had to lug our baggage down a flight of stairs. Room was small, carpets dirty. Bathroom was ok. Their key card wiped itself out everyday and we had to double back to the reception to get it reissued. Their explanation was that other cred cards or the oyster card may wipe it out. I have stayed in my fair share of hotels and this is a first!! Cheap paperlike airport garage parking receipts also do not erase themselves so easily. Stay here if you have no choice, else, please look elsewhere.

Nice place to stay, friendly staff, terrible lifts
Posted Aug 26, 2016
Pros: Clean, helpful staff, good restaurant. very very convenient to the tube and anything in the city.
Cons: the LIFTS are terrible
Location: located in the paddington/lancaster gate area, right across the street from Hyde park. the location is excellent.
The location of this hotel is excellent, so close to Lancaster gate tube station. the Hotel is clean, lobby is nice, restaurant is good and staff very pleasant.
My room was small but that was to be expected in London and was not bad at all, a tad dated and could use a refresher but clean.
The only problem are the LIFTS they are so slow. on check out I waited for 15 minutes as lift after lift past my floor. they really need to work on that. but overall I would be happy to stay there again.

Pros: Lage und Frühstück
Cons:
Location: Lancaster Gate direkt am Hyde Park
Großes Hotel in toller Lage, gute Ausstattung, sehr gutes Frühstück, guter Service.
Wirklich enttäuschend war dieses Mal das Zimmer im Vergleich zu einem Aufenthalt vor zwei Jahren: Wir hatten ein Dreibettzimmer gebucht, das leider sehr klein ausfiel. Es lag im Souterrain, war dementsprechend dunkel und hatte einen muffigen Geruch. Das Bad war sehr eng, die Badewanne sehr schmal, keine Handbrause, Toilettenspülung sehr bedenklich.
