Richard from Sharjah, AE (Mature couple) 29 September 2008

Not a pleasant experience. We will not stay in your hotel again, nor recommend it to others. (107173389)

positive comments The gentleman who was on duty when we arrived was charming. The breakfast was excellent
negative comments Uncomfortable mattresses Hard, low quality pillows Staff ignored requests for new pillows, we were not allowed back in our rooms for 40 minutes on arrival back at hotel under the pretext that they were cleaning the room properly - we had not complained about the cleanliness, and there was no difference when we entered the room. Thereafter we had no hot water. We did not complain, as we had learned by then that any requests/complaints would be met with an insincere apology and no action.

The hotel was very clean & the full english breakfast was superb. The staff were very friendly. Would certainly consider staying there again. There were four females in our party and we wanted to stay in one room. The family room was huge with a separate bed each. (97884638)

positive comments Very accessible to tube station. Central location. Good breakfast.
negative comments The only thing that was lacking was a hotel bar but this did not spoil our stay.

positive comments Overall a good stay. Appreciated the double windows! No noise from the street, and also good against the cold November nights!
negative comments No dislikes. (Except some people next door who did not understand hotel etiquette: no very load discussions, no knocking on doors late at night...)

Jennifer from Leamington spa, GB (Same sex couple) 20 November 2007

The staff made our stay really pleasant. It would have been convenient to be able to get a drink when returning to the Hotel after a day out, but this was not a great problem. Having the choice of two tube stations so close was a real bonus and allowed us to cover a wide area without too much trouble. It was really nice to have a room overlooking the park as well. (97403996)

positive comments Particularly the friendly helpful attitude of the staff but also the convenience of the hotels position.
negative comments Not exactly a dislike, but it is slightly old fashioned.

When making the booking I was not aware that the hotel was opposite Kensington Palace and Gardens, which was, of course, a bonus. It is ideally situated for the Albert Hall. (97695571)

negative comments No air conditioning which means the rooms are too hot at night. Also customers need to be advised that the hotel is within the congestion charge area.

This is a very nice hotel for the money. Very well managed, nice bathrooms, and clean. I travel a lot and am very picky. I had no issues with the quality and cleanliness of the room, the comfort of the beds, or the hotel in general. I would stay there again no problem. I just wish they had internet service this was the only thing missing! (99539603)

Lesley from Darlington, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 25 October 2006

Hotel description gave the impression that there was a pull - in area to stop before parking. In fact you have to stop on a very busy road -difficult with 2 people, impossible with 1. Staff were willing to help carry in luggage however which was very helpful.Parking is some distance from the main hotel entrance and rather precarious - they scraped someones car while moving it out to get ours out.Having said that the hotel was very good value and very conveniently placed. (3305520812)

positive comments Friendliness and efficiency of staff - particularly the breakfast waitress who was delightful.
negative comments Bed was very hard and uncomfortable

positive comments Great location. Directly located across the street from Hyde Park and only a two minute walk from the Queensway Tube Station and four minute walk from the Bayswater Train Station. Several nice restaurants and pubs within a five minute walk. The breakfast that is included with the room is excellent.
negative comments Lack of air conditioning. Even with the fans that are available on request, the rooms during the Summer months are quite uncomfortable.

negative comments The Staff are limited. They try hard but just don't have the tools. Breakfast is from 8am onwards, so if your a business traveler book your meal in advance.
