This hotel is so handy. Bus stop outside takes you to Westminster or Piccadilly Circus. Hyde park and Kensington park across the road. Walkable to Paddington station

We had a great time. The location was incredible and the staff very friendly.
As the hotel is old, our floor cracked a lot as we walk ( or the neighbors). You coul also ear through the walls, so I do not recomend if you are a light-sleeper.

Across from Hyde Park. I loved the location. The building has a beautiful architecture and spirit. The staff is kind and helpful. The furniture is a bit old. There is no refrigerator in the rooms. The traditional two-tap sink was impractical for us. The shower with insufficient water pressure reduced our comfort a lot. I lost a lot of time taking a shower.

We've had a wonderful stay at this hotel! We've been travelling with our small dog and the location has been just great, right at the Hyde Park. The staff is very nice and welcoming, the hotel is pet friendly. The hotel is not of the newest, but the rooms have very good beds and the price quality is very good!

Liked the old school style of building and that the rooms were very clean yet very small.
Would be good to have a proper coffee machine in the room and mini bar fridge.
