The Edward Lear hotel is hidden away just off from the Marble Arch. The outside was nicely presented with flower baskets and the inside was decorated with pictures and poems (from Edward Lear himself). Although the decor was dated it was warming and homely. The staff were brilliant. Receptionist was always polite and spoke with a smile as were the... more

I have been once with my family in a family room and now with my husband. Very good small hotel in a great location. Near to everything : Marble Arch tube station, shops at Oxford Street, Hyde Park, touristic bus stop. And breakfast is included. more

Well I tried to book the Edward Lear hotel for a theatre trip for our anniversary but unfortunately we will have to go somewhere else as they dont take one night bookings for saturdays. This is a bit sad as my mother-in-law had stayed and said it was a nice hotel more

Friendly staff, clean room and excellent location, but we were on the top floor, four stories up with no elevator/lift, in a tiny room: we couldn't open the bathroom door more than 1/3 of the way without hitting the bed. The stairways on the upper levels are very narrow, and on my way down our first evening, I opened a... more

We stayed at The Edward Lear Hotel in early July 2009. The hotel was always clean and tidy and all the staff were friendly and courteous. A wholesome and substantial cooked English breakfast was provided every morning and it was always delicious! This is an affordable no-frills hotel in an excellent central London location (3 minutes Oxford Street/ Marble Arch!)... more

Our room was on the street and up on the third floor (no lift), even though we'd booked two months in advance. Unfortunately, all twin rooms are on the street so they couldn't do much about that. The breakfast room was tiny and very hot and stuffy in the middle of summer. Food was good. We decided to leave early... more

The Edward Lear is a very pleasant and affordable hotel. My visit from check in until check out was nearly flawless. Clean and well staffed and maintained. I recommend this for travelers to London who appreciate this hotel's central location to Oxford Street, Hyde Park, Cent'l London attractions and Underground transportation. A great value! more

I stayed in a twin room with my daughter. The room was small (as expected) but clean and comfortable. Towels were not replaced till we left them on the floor, which is fine but I would have appreciated a sign or notice explaining this. The best part of this hotel is the staff -- they are friendly and helpful, gave... more

Internet kept failing. Tiny rooms. Baking hot everywhere especially breakfast room. Friendly staff. Hotel keeps external lights on all day despite blinding sunshine and despite being told twice - do these people have no concept of global warming? more
