8/10 Very good

Historic, well located and managed Hyde Park property. Conveniently located to subway and buses. Older property, but incredible daily maid service and kind staff. I would stay here again.

8/10 Very good

Staff really helpful, nice quiet place. Rooms on 4th floor can get too hot in summer.
Alan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay!

Great location, right next to hyde park and a few minutes walk from the tube. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Bar area was really nice and the room was a good size with a really comfy bed. Some of the decor like the furniture and bathroom were dated but all really clean! No aircon in the room so does get hot but a fan was provided which was a bonus! Great stay and would definitely stay again and recommend!

Convenient location and good value

This hotel is so handy. Bus stop outside takes you to Westminster or Piccadilly Circus. Hyde park and Kensington park across the road. Walkable to Paddington station
Jenny, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great expirience overall

We had a great time. The location was incredible and the staff very friendly. As the hotel is old, our floor cracked a lot as we walk ( or the neighbors). You coul also ear through the walls, so I do not recomend if you are a light-sleeper.

Great place and staff.
Bryan, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were incredibly friendly, plus they gave us a free room upgrade. The beds… fantastic, it was a dream come true. They were so comfy, we didn’t want to get out of it. Despite facing the main road, it was so nice and quiet, you wouldn’t believe there’s a bus stop outside. The continental breakfast was ok, it was a nice selection (but we’re biased to a full cooked breakfast). The hotel is very nice and pretty (loved the reception area) the only slight downfall, is the bathroom and corridors need updating but otherwise it is a great place to stay and would 100% stay there again!

A great stay!

We've had a wonderful stay at this hotel! We've been travelling with our small dog and the location has been just great, right at the Hyde Park. The staff is very nice and welcoming, the hotel is pet friendly. The hotel is not of the newest, but the rooms have very good beds and the price quality is very good!
