It has a great style and vintage vibe. It's just across the street from Hyde park, and there are multiple metro and bus stops at walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

Overall, positive but still in transition or I would have given it more stars. Guest should be a pre-war history lover with budget in mind. Rooms still carpeted, no refrigerator, etc and don't commit to brekkies unless you're an early riser, as they start clearing the continental early. Definitely dog friendly, fantastic for dogs in Hyde Park.

Fairly inexpensive, close to a lot of diverse restaurants, within a 1-2 mile walking distance of a lot of touristy things. Across the street from a huge park but beware allergies! I would say the hotel bathrooms need an upgrade but the beds were fabulous. Older furniture and wear/tear of the room but didn't prevent us from having a good time.

Some inconveniences due to the age of the building, such as low water pressure. However, these are more than made up for by the excellent staff. They are always helpful and friendly. The location with the Lancaster Gate right there is wonderful! I would happily return!
