We really enjoyed our stay at the Byron Hotel. We found the hotel well located - walking distance to certain sights and close to 2 tube stations so it was easy to get around. Our room was clean and had everything we needed. The staff was helpful. While the breakfast wasn’t my cup of tea there were quite a few options and my husband enjoyed it. Would stay here again.

I booked this last minute when another hotel booking fell through. All I knew was that I liked the area it was in and needed a place to sleep but I was so pleasantly surprised by how nice and cute it was. Highly recommend for solo travelers!

Negatives - room was advertised as on Ground Floor but was actually down stairs in the basement area where the view out of the window was a brick wall a few feet away. - bathroom was not very clean. The bath itself had a jacuzzi function but each of the water jet ports had 'run stains' around them and generally looked a bit grotty. There were also signs of black mould above the shower head and under the wash basin. - the shower head could not be adjusted meaning you had to stand at the far end of the bath tub to get wet which resulted in water going all over the bathroom floor. - when packing to leave we checked under the bed to make sure we hadn't left anything only to find a can of deodorant from a previous occupant which suggests the room had not been that thoroughly prepared or cleaned prior to our arrival. - all in all decor very tired and needs refurbishment Plusses - - Four poster bed was clean and very comfy - location. Very short walk to the Underground and only 10-15 minutes walk to Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Portabello Road/Market etc. - very friendly and helpful staff.

Next to Hyde Park, Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Palace, easily walkable to Harrods. Spotless, great staff, bus stop outside, big comfy bed. Ticked my boxes

I highly recommend this hotel. The location was great; right next to Trafalgar Square! The room was well equipped, cool and quiet. The beds were comfy and the bathroom was clean and well appointed. Will definitely return!
