This isn't a 4star hotel. The previous ownership, called Arbor Hyde Park was. The current hotel is almost unrecognisable since then. If you're looking for a 3 star hotel under £120/nt, you'll be satisfied.

This was truly a pleasant surprise. I booked online not knowing a lot about the area at all. It was on such a quaint and quiet street. It is a boutique little experience, so if you're looking for the immense grand hotel entrance, this is not it. The room was huge and perfect for 2 adults traveling with kids. The staff was very, very friendly. Fresh apples, coffee, tea and hot chocolates available constantly. Very easy walkability, just a block and a half from Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, the Tube, Picadilly station, restaurants and more! Would highly recommend.

Nothing "signature" in this tired, sub-par hotel

The hotel cost was just under £200 per night. While I know London is expensive there is a minimum standard for hotels, especially in this price range. I aim to write balanced reviews and always sure to raise concerns (if any, which I rarely do) directly with the hotel, before I review. The hotel is sub-average. I was on business mid-June 2025 on two of the hottest days of the year. The aircon went from ice cold on arrival, but within a couple of hours changed to a tepid humidity that would not cool at all. For a 2 night stay I at least expected water to be available in the room - 1 small bottle on my first day was not replenished. The room was not made up or refreshed but, oddly, the bin in the room was emptied so the absence of other housekeeping seemed unusual. I asked the receptionist for water or any cool drinks to buy at the hotel and was abruptly told I would have to walk 15 minutes to the nearest shop to buy some. It was already 8pm and I'd just trekked 30 mins in the sweltering heat to get to the hotel. On day 2 brought my own water. Breakfast was offered for a fee (around £15), and started around 8am - much later than most hotels and too late for anyone on business needing to get to morning meetings. On checkout I raised above concerns. The receptionist apologised for the inconvenience and after moment's pause said I should have asked because it's not Hotel policy to refresh rooms during a stay. This is sub-standard for £200/night . Travelodge would do better!

Mattresses were both completely done for, sunk into it like a water bed and back aches today. Sheets so thin that you could see past blood stains in the duvet thru the cover. Pillows felt like from ikea on the discount rack My entire purpose here was to get some sleep and i was up all night. I guess this is the price i pay for being cheap on a hotel but same time how difficult is it to have proper mattress and linens?

Whilst the staff attempted to help me, my complaints were not resolved- a 10% discount given as consolation. Taps rusted, no functioning bath plug, soap holder hanging off wall( this was fixed), shower screen swung off and fell into my hands- solution was to remove it- this just meant water everywhere in bathroom. Bath also scratched and chipped. Bedside tables very worn and scratched. All in all- not worth the money

I give the hotel a "G" for Ghetto! The first night, there was bedbugs on the bed, the refrigerator didn't work and the bedroom sink was plugged up! They put me in another room and also the refrigerator didn't work and the bathroom sink was plugged up! They gave me another room and the refrigerator didn't work and the sink was plugged up! Then they put me in another room and the sink was plugged up, the heated towel rack was was set all the way on high with the knob missing! Also the fan in the bathroom didn't work! This is the fourth room! They got the maintenance person and I try to explain the problem with the sink, towel rack, and bathroom fan. He cleaned the bathroom sink trap but cause a water leak and he end up putting a small bucket on the floor to catch the water. He can't fix the bathroom fan and he use a needle-nose pliers to adjust the heat on the towel rack because he couldn't find a knob for it! I shouldn't come to any hotel and tell them to fix this, this and this! The room should be maintenance free before you have any guests! There is no communication between the room cleaners, staff and maintenance personal! They don't know how to operate a hotel! ALL OF YOU ARE IN THE WRONG PROFESSION! YOU ALL MISSED YOUR CALLING!
