“Four Stars? I think not, it's 2012 not 1972”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012 via mobile

Very cramped room, archaic air con, creeky floorboards & thin walls. Fitness room had just two machines in; thankfully I was the only one there...

Staff were good, but facilities are not what you expect for this price, even with the proximity to Hyde Park & the West End. Just about bearable for a one night stopover.

“good location, friendly staff, but..”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

We stayed for two nights, room was dissapointing, beside lift, which we heard often, bathroom was very small, carpet was worn on stairs inside room that lead to bed, in addition there was no bar or menu available on sunday which i have never witnessed before. the plus side was the location, which is good for getting around the sights.. all in all a good hotel but better value around the same area..if i got an excutive suite for the price of a double i MIGHT stay here again.

Room Tip: Try and avoid rooms next to the lift.

“Great location but 4 star??”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 11, 2012

Nice hotel, big comfortable bed and friendly staff. The room was small but clean and tidy. Down side, small rooms, lots of banging from upstairs at times we thought they were coming through the ceiling. We had beef sandwiches which were very expensive. it was plastic beef on cheap bread. The bar was a waste of time, no draught beer, bad wine no lime for my Gin and tonic and expensive. I also found that 11.00 am kick out time a bit early.

Would I go back....Yes, great location and stayed in much worse and paid a lot more than £150 .

“Squeaky floors”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 5, 2012

We stayed here for three nights. The hotel is well located - very near Hyde Park and Lancaster Gate Tube station, but we found it expensive, the breakfast was uninspiring and the floorboards squeaked a lot, which some might find charming, but which we found trying.
£159 for a double is serious money, even for London. The plates of ham and sliced cheese every morning do not make for a good continental breakfast and the lift is bijou.
On the plus side, the staff are very helpful and friendly. Would I use it again? Only if I could get that £99 for a double deal.

“Good location, good value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 4, 2012

We stayed for one night in February 2012. Great value for central London - £99 for double including a very good continental breakfast. Very close to Hyde Park with good underground access, location is lovely and reasonably quiet. Not too far from West End and very accesible, we took taxi to get there (£8) and we walked back after visiting theatre which took about 30mins. The only problem was that the room we had was a smoking room - I was unaware of this when booking, they provided us with some air freshener. If we had been visiting for more than one night we would have requested to move. We would stay here again but request a non-smoking room. Good experience of a central London hotel visit.
