Hyde Park Green

This is more like a hostel instead. Building is very old. Hall way are too tight and narrow, which leads to a very noisy around when people entering/exiting as well. And also no elevator in the building.

Very good hotel. 3-5 minutes from two Underground Stations situated. Very friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and comfortable. Strongly recommended. Lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. 3 minutes walk to Kensington gardens.

When we checked in around 9:30pm we were told that the original credit card payment had been denied (despite a booking confirmation) and we could only pay cash, though the guy at the desk called his "colleague" to double-check and then okayed a card payment. The covers on the bed had stains, the mirror by the door was covered in flecks of *something*, we were woken by mice scratching around twice in one night and found our snacks in both suitcase and backpack had been gnawed. Woken up around 7:30am by someone banging around in the supply closet across the hall, and we could definitely hear the other guests thumping around above and to the sides of us. You get what you pay for, but given the good reviews here I was definitely surprised by how lacking this property was.

I was very impressed with my 1 night stay. The hotel is a minutes walk from Bayswater tube station and there are a number of shops and takeaways nearby. I arrived late in the evening and the receptionist was helpful and checked me in quickly. Whilst the reception and stairs are a bit dated, the room was well decorated and comfortable. I stayed on the third floor (there are no lifts but luckily I only had a small bag). The room was on the back of the hotel and I heard no noises either from within or outside the hotel. The room and en-suite bathroom were very basic but immaculately clean. The room was very small, but as I was only staying for 1 night, there was no need for any more space. This was the perfect place for a quick stay in London and very good value for money - I would definitely stay again.
