Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The location is excellent, near Paddington Station and access to Kensington And Hyde Parks. Easy access to stores and restaurants. The hotel appears not to have changed since the fifties. It is shabby, the furniture and room amenities are old and dilapidated. The room ventilation is poor and would be extremely uncomfortable in the summer months. I stayed there over 20 years ago and not one thing has changed. I would not stay there again.

Unfortunately was completely not what we were expecting, very old building, floors cracking when you walk, douche was all rusty, drawers of the cabinet broken, lift was forcing to go move. We needed to cancel the stay and look for another place to stay. Front desk lady was very friendly and give us the refund without a problem

We loved the old style splendour of the building. Our room was bright and airy, beds very clean and comfortable. Our room looked out over Hyde park. The staircase and rooms were spectacular! Shabby chic at its best. In easy reach of all transport modes. We will definitely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Comfortable beds, room size was really good for London, walkable to various points of interest and very close to Lancaster Gate tube station (which unfortunately was closed for all 6 days we were there), street of affordable restaurants just a 2 min walk around the back (you have to try Les Filles' breakfast!). The style of the hotel is old, but it also feels old. Could use a bit of maintenance. I didn't trust the elevator personnaly and one was broken. Quite a maze to get to your room but didn't think it was a problem. Staff was super helpful getting out the sim card of our cellphone.
