Nice.
When I booked, I didn't realise how important air-conditioning might be. Could have done with a room fridge, too. Room was quiet and tidy. TV very basic. Location is the real winner.

This is a very old fashioned hotel, so a lot of the modern luxuries including a modern bathroom and refrigerator are non-accessible. However, the staff is very nice and welcoming.

the staff was very helpful and amazing. So nice. The rooms were very clean and bigger than I thought they would be. I enjoyed staying there with my young kids. So close to Hyde park as well and easy to get to all the places.

Over heated bedrooms, that’s with the windows open 500mm all day. Decor is tired, the bathrooms are remnants of the 1970s - they need replaced. The entrance garden area looks like the entrance of a hostel, it doesn’t resemble the photo on the Expedia website. This Hotel could be charging higher prices if it had a good make over!

Room was clean and neat. However, due to no fault of the hotel it was very hot! The hotel has no AC. There was a fan and a tiny window, which was not enough to cool the room. However, we talked to the hotel staff, who were very accommodating. We were able to move rooms to one with larger windows and were able to enjoy the rest of our stay. The staff were very nice and helpful.

My room hadn't been cleaned when I requested. "Service room card" didn't work in spite of hanging on to the room door.But when got back to my room late at night I understood that someone had entered my room and left a pillow case on the floor without cleaning the room. I informed reception and manager in charge just to get a clarification.I didn't get an answer that who was the person got into my room? That was strange and suspicious thing to happen.Fortunately I had used safety box service from reception.I hadn't left any valuable thing in my room while I was out. Secondly izolation between hotel rooms is not very well because you can hear noise. The best thing was the breakfast service.

Charming hotel
The staff were really helpful. On arrival I went to reception and they helped with car parking as you have to have a space unlocked before pulling in. The room was ready early which we really appreciated as we wanted to get ready to attend our event. We had a room on the 4th floor but the lift was working fine for us each time we used it. Hotel was really clean, no faults there. The beds were so comfortable. The room decor is old but I think it adds to the charm of the hotel. There was also a television in the room. Hairdryer was available in the room. Would say that I was really hot in the room overnight but there was a fan provided so not a problem :) Location was perfect for attending an event in Hyde Park. We have no complaints at all, thank you for a comfortable stay.
