Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was small but adequate for a night stay, and the only source of heat was a small radiator. The service was efficient although a bit standoffish with the porter. The location was excellent for getting into the city easily, and the included breakfast was very good. The dining experience offered the typical English breakfast, which was lovely, but there was a small surcharge for requesting poached eggs. The facilities were decent overall.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, close to the city center and Hyde Park, making it very convenient and safe. The rooms, unfortunately, needed updating, with a shabby appearance and a non-functional TV for the entire stay. However, the daily servicing and fresh towels added a touch of cleanliness to the room.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were surprisingly quiet at the end of the corridor, which was a bonus, but they looked nothing like the images shown online and were quite small with a tube line beside the hotel. The service varied from being very knowledgeable and helpful to rude and disrespectful, with some admitting mistakes while others showed no interest in customer issues. The location was convenient, with easy access to transport links, but felt like a building site in terms of safety. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with a great option to swim but poor quality meals served in a dark basement.
The hotel was decent overall, with nothing exceptional but acceptable. The location was convenient for accessing the city and the tube stations. However, the small and cramped rooms, along with subpar dining offerings, left much to be desired.

The hotel offers a good choice of food but the room was very small. The pool and sauna facilities were pleasant, but some aspects like breakfast and cleanliness fell short of expectations. Overall, not a 4-star experience as advertised.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! They were so understanding when our room was too small for my family, and they upgraded us without any hassle. It's honestly the best hotel I've been to so far, and my kids loved all the facilities. However, the room had a bed slightly larger than a single bed, leaving no space for our bags. The bathroom was a bit dusty and needed a good clean. Overall, a great experience!
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The location was superb, right by Hyde Park and the metro station, but the room opposite the lift was a bit noisy. It was clean, though it felt a bit dingy and overrated.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was very good, close to tube stations and within walking distance to Hyde Park, but the room was very small and noisy due to the overland tube line. The service was friendly but not exceptional, and the breakfast was just okay.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was convenient, just a short walk to the tube station and practical bus access, but the overall condition of the place left much to be desired. The staff had moments of being incredibly rude, but they redeemed themselves with their helpfulness in arranging repairs and offering tea. The dining options were a hit or miss, with some good selections but also some disappointing aspects. The rooms, while ready on time, were small and basic with issues like heat and noise from the fan.
