Royal Lancaster London
Good location, good staff. It’s close to the park. More of a modern business hotel.

Central Park Hotel
It was under renovation during my stay, so noisy during the day. My room had been recently redone and looked lovely. It was quite comfortable. The bathroom looked lovely too, but smelled strongly of sewer gas. There was no rim across the shower so the water backed up all across the bathroom ...

Wedgewood Hotel
Solo traveler, beautiful, well-maintained, clean, quiet place. 5 minutes walk to Bayswater station, close to restaurant and grocery store.

Bob W London Hyde Park
We had a water leak in our room and were moved to a small room that had a very loud ventilation device outside of our room the last couple of days we were there. The room was definitely downgraded!

Thistle London Hyde Park Kensington Gardens
Room’s bathroom was junky, and terrible shower. Under construction so the front was cut off and had to take the stairs around back. Lobby and dining room was nice though.

Park Grand Hyde Park
The staff is extremely nice and accommodating, they let us park a few more hours after checkout as we wanted to stroll around London a bit more before setting off. The rooms were clean. Overall I’d say worth your stay especially for its prime location and fair pricing.
