My room hadn't been cleaned when I requested. "Service room card" didn't work in spite of hanging on to the room door.But when got back to my room late at night I understood that someone had entered my room and left a pillow case on the floor without cleaning the room. I informed reception and manager in charge just to get a clarification.I didn't get an answer that who was the person got into my room? That was strange and suspicious thing to happen.Fortunately I had used safety box service from reception.I hadn't left any valuable thing in my room while I was out. Secondly izolation between hotel rooms is not very well because you can hear noise. The best thing was the breakfast service.

Stayed as a solo traveller. Place is quiet, yet close to transportation. Directly opposite to Hyde Park. Walk through the park and you’ll get to most of the attractions like museums.

We had a wonderful stay here. This hotel is full of charm and character of a bygone era. Our room was spotlessly clean and had sweet touches like biscuits on the coffee tray. It was very well located close to many areas of interest and transit. Would definitely stay here again.

The location of the hotel, immediately opposite Kensington Gardens and within easy walking distance of the V&A museum, is excellent. As for the interior of the hotel itself: it clearly needs a lot of money spending in order to effect much needed renovation of a potentially splendid environment. Staff were excellent.

The location is excellent, near Paddington Station and access to Kensington And Hyde Parks. Easy access to stores and restaurants. The hotel appears not to have changed since the fifties. It is shabby, the furniture and room amenities are old and dilapidated. The room ventilation is poor and would be extremely uncomfortable in the summer months. I stayed there over 20 years ago and not one thing has changed. I would not stay there again.

Unfortunately was completely not what we were expecting, very old building, floors cracking when you walk, douche was all rusty, drawers of the cabinet broken, lift was forcing to go move. We needed to cancel the stay and look for another place to stay. Front desk lady was very friendly and give us the refund without a problem

We loved the old style splendour of the building. Our room was bright and airy, beds very clean and comfortable. Our room looked out over Hyde park. The staircase and rooms were spectacular! Shabby chic at its best. In easy reach of all transport modes. We will definitely stay here again.
