Great stay ❤️
Pros:

Great location for everything including Hyde Park
Room was great and very clean

Cons:

Unfortunately we stayed during the 2 hottest days in June 2026 and although it was clear that there wasn’t any air conditioning in the room a fan was supplied but it was extremely hot in the room! Nothing could be done but I will definitely reconsider going again if it’s that hot again! Otherwise I would highly recommend it!!

Pros:

Szép, kényelmes nagy szoba, jó felszereltség. A samponok es szappanok utánpótlása mindennapos volt.
A személyzet nagyon kedves, segítőkész.
A kontinentális reggeli nem igazan választékos, de bőséges és finom, jó minőségű. Tea viszont csak zold es fekete volt - ezt sajnáltam, eppen Londonban, az ember arra számít hogy teából legalabb bőséges valasztekot kap.

Es war ok - würde das Hotel jedoch nicht weiterempfehlen!
Pros:

LAGE - war nahe des Bahnhofes Paddington und etliche Bushaltestellen in der Nähe, gute Möglichkeiten zum Essen gehen und einkaufen von Lebensmitteln
ZIMMER - der Kühlschrank war toll - Tee/Kaffee war immer zur Verfügung
- das Zusatzbett war komfortabel

Cons:

FRÜHSTÜCK - wenig Abwechslung - immer das Gleiche (Schinken, Salami, Käse, Toast, Aufbackbrötchen - keine Abwechslung) Wenig Abwechslung beim Obst - kein Gemüse, unfreundliches Personal - immer am Handy
ZIMMER - Doppelbett zu schmal - man hatte das Gefühl runter zu fallen
