Hands down the best hotel I have stayed at. The staff were amazing, professional and helpful. We emailed requesting a high floor room and Kirsty responded to all our requests and questions via email before arrival. The closest station is just 5 minutes around the corner if that and the hotel is in a superb location with Oxford Street a 15 mins walk away or less than 10 mins on the train. We arrived early and were provided with early check in and a free upgrade. It made the perfect start to our trip. The room was insanely beautiful and had everything we needed. A packet of sanitising wipes and masks were provided in the room. Due to COVID the restaurants were closed but room service was available. I can’t fault this hotel at all and will definitely be returning. We didn’t want to leave.

Great Stay on Hyde Park
We loved this place. Views over Hyde Park are great, and the whole place was renovated in 2017, so it is clean and shining, just like in 1967. Service was extraordinary. Nipa Thai restaurant is great. Access to the rest of the city is easy via the Central Line, and it was nice to come home to the peace and quiet of this area. There are two nice pubs very close by, the Swan and the Victoria. The rooms are a bit small, but this is London after all. The only thing I would change is to make the bed a bit less firm—I am normally a side-sleeper and my hips felt sore unless I slept on my back for a good part of the night.

Great position. Close to Paddington and Hyde Park and on the central line. The rooms are excellent with everything you need and, most importantly, the Lancaster has some of the best views in London.

Excellent luxury hotel in calm location
Fantastic newly renovated property, with very good bathrooms, and good views. Just a few minutes from Paddington station for easy airport and train access. A few steps from tube access that can get you anywhere. A luxury respite from the tourist heavy central London along Hyde Park.
