The hotel has an exceptional atmosphere, thanks to the outstanding service from the staff, making me feel welcomed throughout my stay. I was particularly impressed with the cleanliness of the facilities, although some areas felt a bit worn down. I appreciated the variety of breakfast options, but the dining experience could be improved with more diverse meal selections throughout the day. Despite these minor issues, I found good overall value for my stay.

I stayed at this hotel for a short city break and found a mix of good and not-so-great aspects. On the positive side, the location near the bustling shopping areas was perfect for my wife while I enjoyed strolls in the nearest gardens. The cleanliness and comfort of the room were commendable, but the size left much to be desired and we faced some maintenance issues. The staff were friendly, yet I was left wanting a bit more in terms of attention to detail, especially considering the price.

The hotel has a great central location that makes exploring London a breeze, with a lovely supermarket right below for quick snacks. The staff were absolutely outstanding and made my stay very welcoming. However, the rooms were quite small, and while they were well-kept, I did find the size a little disappointing for a longer stay.

Rooms

The rooms were tiny; you literally had to squeeze around the bed. It was a bit smaller than I had expected, but since we were only there to sleep, it was manageable.
Service

The service was generally good, especially with the staff being super helpful and willing to accommodate requests. However, there were times when it took a bit longer to get things sorted, which could be improved.

The location was pretty good, close to public transport, the underground station, and just a short walk from Hyde Park. Having a Waitrose right below was a definite plus for convenience.

Dining was enjoyable; the food was really nice, and breakfast was filling. However, I wish there had been more variety in the breakfast options; it felt a bit limited.

The hotel's facilities were well-maintained, and they had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The amenities were quite adequate but could use a little updating to match modern expectations.

This hotel offers a prime location just off the bustling Bayswater Road, making it convenient for exploring nearby attractions like Kensington Gardens. The rooms, while clean, felt a bit outdated, and there were some service hiccups at the reception. Dining options provided a decent breakfast, but there’s room for improvement. Overall, it provides good value considering the location, though be prepared for small room sizes.

Rooms

The rooms were clean and adequately sized but lacked the charm shown in promotional photos. My room was a bit of a walk from the elevator, and the furniture felt quite old.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, even with a few hiccups. The staff was exceptionally accommodating, especially during a minor power outage we faced, and the location is ideal with great access to local attractions. However, the initial room key issue and the broken safe were a bit concerning. Overall, it's a lovely place to stay, emphasizing great service and comfort.
