Radisson Blu Hotel, London South Kensington

8/10 Good
"Breakfast was very good. Staff very polite. Sadly ran out of body wash on first shower. Very noisy throughout early hours of morning as door outside our room kept banging with people coming and going. Booked as a four adult room and was given just three cups and glasses."

Thistle London Hyde Park Kensington Gardens

10/10 Excellent
"This is a good place to stay especially if you want to be able to walk to Paddington, where you can take the train to Windsor Castle and Heathrow. The rooms were very clean and modern, and clearly renovated with good bathrooms and shower. The location is good. It is indeed on top of a petrol station but it was very quiet and you don’t notice once inside. The breakfast was only okay, not a great buffet, more ‘B’ level but serviceable. I’d recommend and stay again."

8/10 Good
"Proximity to Paddington Station was excellent, and only a short walk to Hyde Park. Room was very clean. Bathroom was updated and very clean. Beds were very hard. No Air Conditioning and room was hot even though outside temps were cool. Fan was provided, but would be uncomfortable if outside temp was over 80. Big downside was there wasn't a lift (elevator). Narrow stairs made it challenging to get a big suitcase up to the room, especially if higher than the 4th floor. Overall I will stay at this property again if in the area."

"Location was excellent, the room was light and spacious, beds were comfortable. En-suite bathroom was dated with a low, fixed height shower head over the bath, but for one night, it was perfectly usable and wouldn’t put us off staying again! Staff were friendly and check-in/out easy."

Bluedaws Private Hotel

Bluedaws Private Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Very basic accommodations,, but perfectly nice. Know what you're getting yourself into. It's very good for the price, but you're not getting top of the line quality. Amenities? No. There room was clean enough, everything was washed, though it showed some wear. The room is extremely basic, it really is just beds and a sink. One small piece of hand soap. No hand towels, no shampoo, no face cloth, etc. The shared bathroom should be a consideration for anyone coming here. It's a single bathroom with a single toilet, and a very small shower with little water pressure. It can be very inconvenient if another guest leaves a mess. There's one floor mat to share with other guests out of the shower. The whole place could do with some renovation. The toilet lid doesn't stay up and crashes down. The toilet doesn't flush every time easily. The TV antenna was completely broken. The shower head is old and doesn't seem in decent condition. The beds are small, not very comfortable and the bunk beds are very noisy, as is the street (and you must leave the window open to get some airflow). Just extremely basic. But the staff is really kind, the breakfast included is perfectly good. If you go in with right expectations, it's a nice stay. But if you expect any amenity or anything beyond a basic bed, you're asking too much for the price."
