We had a nice few over Hyde Park. The room was nice. Everyone was very friendly. more

The location of this hotel, right beside Kensington Gardens and a couple of blocks from both queensway subway station and bus station, it is rather good. But the hotel itself need refurbishment. The room I got on the 9th floor has clearly been a smoking room earlier. Make sure you turn on the air conditioning always for getting rid of... more

The hotel was pleasant enough and clean but total absence of drawers in the room for a three night stay was more in keeping with a travel lodge and not a four star hotel. Lack of a fridge is also a bit of a let down as well. We do like to vary the areas we stay in and this... more
