Stayed here for 5 nights in April. Best thing about the hotel is the location. Close to Bayswater tube station. Easy walking distance to Hyde Park, Portabello road, pub on the corner and lots of restaurants to choose from. Bad points. This is the smallest hotel room I have stayed in anywhere in the world. You have to take turns... More

...but the reception was all I saw. Never stayed here before and was pleased with the rate through last minute.com. Pleasantly surprised as I approached the hotel, a fine looking Georgian terrace which is set around a nice traditional London square. So far so good. However, when I tried to check in I was told that they were fully booked... More

We were very happy with the hotel location and after requesting room upgrades we were very pleased with the rooms - including the view over the square. For the price they were very updated- with nice details -even lighting by the bed on a dimmer. The people behind the desk went out of their way to be helpful. Those were... More

The pictures looked much nicer than the actual room. I had specially requested a bedroom with a shower tub, which I didn't get at all. I was unfairly charged twice and to solve the situation through phone calls was a real pain; it was nearly impossible to talk to the hotel staff directly. Even after asking them to return the...

The temperature in the corridor of the ground floor was too hot; if it was "normal" I would have rated this hotel to the maximum in all aspects. Room had all the needed items; the hotel location is quite; the staff very friendly and competent.
