“Very Satisfied”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

Getting there from the airport by subway was the worst, only because we weren't familiar with the train routes and should have switched from Picadilly Line to District Line east at Acton Town Station, switch again at Nottingham Gates station to Central Line east to Queensway station and exit. Hotel is 1 block east and then north 100m. We didn't, and ended up getting off at Hyde Park and dragging our luggage all the way throught the park....not fun after a 9 hr flight!!

We arrived too early to check in, but they stored our luggage until check in time was availble. The hotel was very rustic and rooms and hallways were much smaller than we're used to, but all the amenities were there. The complementary breakfast was excellent, and we had no problems with checking in/out. After searching the internet for hotels this one was about as reasonable as any and accessability to the subway was great. Once we had a subway map it made getting around to all the local sites real easy.

Overall, this hotel was just fine and we'd definitely reccoment it to others!

Room Tip: Just ask for a room that's not on the street side and it will be very quiet.

“Ideal”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2012

This hotel was in a good location. The decor was traditional in the lobby but modern in the bedrooms. we stayed in an Deluxe Double Room which was still quite small but perfect for what we needed. The hotel staff were helpful. The room had tea and coffee facilities and all basic needs, shampoo, freeview flat screen, (biscuits) etc. Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Room Tip: The wardrobe was only one metre deep so not ideal for dresses. Did have a full length mirror.

“Disappointed”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

Hotel did not live up to the photos. The staff was no where near as congenial as the staff at other Shaftesbury hotels. My overall experience was not that good. I called the front desk to have an iron and ironing board brought to my room, the phone rang at least 15 times before it was answered. I waited 2 hours and no iron or ironing board was delivered. I had to go to the front desk and make the request in person. The room I was in had some sort of utility closet and the door did not close properly. I have stayed previously at the Shaftesbury Paddington Court and had a wonderful experience. I was very disappointed with my stay at the Grand Royale London Hyde Park

Room Tip: Stay at the Shaftesbury Paddington Court

“Excellent except for a tiny closet bathroom”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 17, 2012

Gorgeous hotel and friendly staff. Really worth staying there to experience a 4* stylish British hotel. Wonderful, antique decorations and cosy rooms. Only downside was the 1m squared bathroom with a tiny washbasin and nowhere to place a cosmetic bag.

Room Tip: Avoid Lower Ground Floor rooms- there is no signal for mobile phones
