Excellent October offer for FREE English Breakfast. Centrally located. good location ,comfy room andfriendly staff. The view from the window is great. The tube is close. The room is OK, thought a little bit small.
all reviews » clean comfortable room. I booked the Executive Double Room which a double king size bed is provided. Its comfortable and clean. The location is convenient, just opposite to Hyde Park and a 3 minute walk to Queensway Station. We got a quiet room overlooking the park. For London, the room had enough space. Good location.friendly, helpful staff. Location of hotel, single rooms are quite "spacious" for a room in London and very nicely decorated. Rooms at the back of the hotel are also very quiet which is what I like to get a good night's sleep.value for money, very polite and friendly staff, good location near cental and circle line of metro station. location. hotel staff are friendly and the location of the hotel is good. The room was small and compact but was clean and tidy.Friendly service. Great view of Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park. Could see London Eye from room.Very handy for Queensway tube station.Shower curtains missing, therefore when taking a shower alot of water went on the floor. lack of ashtrays outside the hotel. The receptionist. He was too garrulous :-). no bar. The receptionist didnt read clearly what type of room I booked when checking in. A dirty cloth left in the room. Service at breakfast was non existant ( we did not have breakfast after our first morning).breakfasts- up to an hour's wait then kitchen ran out of basics such as bread and bacon!. The concierge seemed to have just gone away everytime I needed him.very small rooms. bathroom needs to be renewed. Not easy to access - the curtains would not close properly - significant traffic noise. The check in was appalling, very slow, staff answering the phone whilst they was checking you in.Very old room, no comfort, almost no water coming out of the shower. Very hard beds. Did not get Double and Single bed when triple room was booked.Even though we specified on booking form and hotel had confirmed they had both types available. Got three single beds.Requested two extra pillows .Took two days to get.Nobody on reception rang back.Waited up to 30 mins to get table at breakfast.
