Muy buena relación calidad-precio.
Pros:

La ubicación es excepcional, cerca estación Paddington de tren y de metro ( parada Lancaster Gate) y bus (parada Leinster Terrace). Justo enfrente Hyde Park. La habitación era grande con techos altos y una ventana con un balcón que daba a Hyde Park aunque no se podía salir a dicho balcón. El desayuno correcto tipo buffet y con amplia variedad. El personal de recepción y del desayuno muy atentos en todo momento. Elegimos el hotel principalmente por la ubicación y sobre todo por la oferta que encontré ( 400€ por 4 noches con desayuno para 4 personas del 8 al 12 Octubre 2026). Un hotel con mucho encanto.

Cons:

Habitación no apta para alérgicos al polvo ya que la moqueta del hotel era muy antigua. El hotel necesitaría una reforma tanto en el baño como en la eliminación de la moqueta.

Pros:

Het was onze tweede verblijf in dit hotel. Wederom erg tevreden. De ligging is geweldig. Vlakbij de metro, bussen stoppen dichtbij. We mochten er onze auto parkeren (tegen betaling). Goed bed. Het kamer is wat gedateerd, maar het is schoon en netjes. De prijs is daar ook naar... Wij gaan zéker weer terug.

Cons:

Niets.

Het verblijf was super.
Pros:

Mooi klassiek gebouw. Fijne kamer met heerlijk bed. Hele mooie ruimtes als ontbijtzaal en het ontbijt was ook goed.
De locatie aan het Hyde Park is prachtig. Bus stopt voor de deur en er zijn 2 metrostations op 200 en 300 meter. Je kunt ook heerlijk eten bij een super leuke pub The Swan op 100 meter afstand van het hotel.

Cons:

Helemaal niets

No vuelvo más
Pros:

Lo único bueno de ese hotel es su ubicación.

Cons:

El cuarto de baño no funciona nada bien. La cisterna no traga bien y hay que convivir con todos los deshechos durante mucho tiempo.

If possible, rooms need to be renewed tomorrow. I felt that I was in a time tunnel and living in the 70s.
Breakfast was weak.
