Tolle Lage, gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
Pros:

Die Lage war toll, die Gegend nördlich vom Hydepark sehr gepflegt. Das Hotel muss erst vor Kurzem frisch renoviert worden sein.
Die Badezimmer in beiden Zimmern waren sehr schön.
Das Frühstück war typisch Englisch: Toast, Würstchen, Speck, Bohnen, Eier, Kartoffelpuffer, Champignons, aber auch Gurken und Tomaten, Käse, Croissants, Schokocroissants, Müsli, Marmelade, Konfitüre, Honig. Die Dame beim Frühstück war unglaublich freundlich und zuvorkommend. (Waren am Wochenende wegen eines Ausflugs einmal schon zu früh dort, und sie hat uns schnell die wichtigsten Dinge hergerichtet! Vielen Dank dafür!)

Cons:

Wir hatten zwei Zimmer gebucht, eines war sehr geräumig, eines ganz klein und eng. Mehr Haken wären hilfreich! Schade, dass es für Zimmer 105 nicht die Möglichkeit gibt, wenigstens einen Spalt das schöne hohe Fenster zu öffnen. Gelüftet wird nur über die Klimaanlage, das empfanden wir als sehr unangenehm. Roomservice war merkwürdig: am 2. Tag wurde in einem Zimmer sauber gemacht, im anderen nicht. Auf meine Nachfrage wurde mir erklärt, wir hätten das Türschild (nicht gefunden!) aufhängen müssen. Das erklärt aber immer noch nicht, warum ein Zimmer aufgeräumt worden ist, das andere aber nicht.

Pros:

Posizione molto buona per rapporto qualità/ prezzo , si trova a 15min a piedi da Paddington station(tube-train) o 5min nemmeno dalla fermata del Bus LANCASTER Gate. Hotel con personale molto disponibile, sorridente e gentile. Camera di dimensioni normale, aria condizionata, set asciugamani e set di cortesia. Personalmente lo consiglio, ci ritornerei.

Cons:

Letto non è matrimoniale ma più una piazza e mezza /letto francese, materasso e cuscini scomodi 😐

Pros:

Amazing location. proximity to Hyde park and Paddington is very lovely

very Comfortable bed

Cons:

1.no fridge in room 105. I looked at previous reviews and others raised this

2. disappointing size for a standard double bed

3. there was no chair in room 105. annoying not to have a chair to sit or do light work

4. plumbing issues with the bath that kept making annoying gulping sounds up to 30 minutes after every use. I looked at previous reviews and others raised this

5. The curtains were high up and did not have an adjuster to move

6. when in room 105, you could hear noise of other rooms opened and it felt like your room was opened. Frightening

Would stay here again, great location and good facilities
Pros:

The location was perfect, very close to Paddington train station and local bus stops made it easy to get around. Some great cafes and shops in the area as well. The check in and check out process was simple and the staff were friendly and helpful, they were able to store our bags after checkout while we explored the area before flying out of London. The rooms were good

Cons:

Rooms could do with some touch ups, there were a lot of doors which made it awkward to move around in the room and the bathroom didn't have a working fan so it was very warm in there all the time, we had to keep the door open. There was a safety light on right above the bed which made it difficult to sleep but the staff were able to cover it for us. Just little things but I would stay here again when I visit.

Disaster
Pros:

n/a

Cons:

We were given a basement room, the room was downstairs, we walked into the room and the odour that was seeping from the bathroom into the room was disgusting. The carpet had stains on it the paint was peeling off the windowsills, the bedside tables and dust was everywhere. The room did not look like what we had seen online in our opinion and definitely did not meet the standard that was advertised. The bed had stains on it also a dead fly was found by my partner on the bed. It was absolutely awful. We had to book alternative accommodation late that night and go to a different hotel as we did not feel comfortable staying there. I filed a complaint with the hotel and to no satisfaction they refuse to refund or compensation for the stay, even though we didn’t stay there for either night. i would not recommend this hotel and would definitely not be returning.

Un séjour très agréable dans un hôtel plein de charme, idéalement situé près de Hyde Park, avec un personnel adorable et
Pros:

Tout d’abord, nous avons beaucoup apprécié l’accueil du personnel, qui a toujours été très chaleureux, souriant et disponible.

J’avais demandé en amont une chambre située au 2ᵉ étage, et ma demande a bien été respectée, ce que j’ai beaucoup apprécié.

La chambre était propre et bien équipée, avec notamment une table et un fer à repasser, un coffre-fort ainsi qu’une bouilloire. La chambre était également faite quotidiennement, ce qui est très agréable pendant un séjour.

J’ai particulièrement aimé la façade de l’hôtel, qui a énormément de charme avec son style très anglais. C’est vraiment ce qui m’avait séduite dans cet établissement.

L’emplacement est également un véritable point fort : l’hôtel est à proximité immédiate de Hyde Park, dans un quartier agréable, et les arrêts de bus situés juste à côté permettent de rejoindre facilement les différents quartiers de Londres. Nous avons également pris un Uber depuis St Pancras jusqu’à l’hôtel pour environ 15 £, ce qui était très raisonnable.

Enfin, nous avons beaucoup apprécié la climatisation, qui fonctionnait très bien tout en étant particulièrement silencieuse. C’est un vrai plus pour dormir confortablement.

Cons:

Il y a cependant quelques petites choses qui, selon moi, mériteraient d’être revues.

Tout d’abord, la brosse des toilettes mériterait vraiment d’être changée ou modernisée. C’est un petit détail, mais cela donne une impression moins agréable alors que, par ailleurs, la chambre était très propre.

Le point le plus problématique pour nous a été la lumière verte située au plafond. Elle éclairait une grande partie de la chambre et était vraiment très lumineuse pendant la nuit, au point de rendre le sommeil très difficile. Je vous avais d’ailleurs contactés à ce sujet dès notre arrivée. Je tiens toutefois à souligner que le personnel a été très réactif : dès le deuxième jour, le nécessaire a été fait afin de réduire cette gêne et nous avons ensuite pu dormir correctement. Je vous en remercie.

Enfin, j’avais demandé avant notre arrivée si les fenêtres pouvaient s’ouvrir. Malheureusement, elles ne s’ouvraient que d’environ 10 cm. Je comprends bien les contraintes liées à la sécurité, mais il serait peut-être intéressant de le préciser plus clairement dans les informations concernant les chambres, car cela peut être important pour certains voyageurs.

Dans l’ensemble, nous avons passé un agréable séjour dans votre hôtel et nous avons particulièrement apprécié son charme, son emplacement et surtout la gentillesse du personnel. Mes remarques sont donc davantage des suggestions d’amélioration que de véritables reproches.

Merci encore à toute votre équipe pour votre accueil et votre disponibilité.
