I stayed at this hotel for 11 days and left completely satisfied with my stay. If you are from America, please keep in mind that you are now in England. Therefore some things that are basic in our hotels aren't customary in London.
I feel the because of this, some of the criticisms of this hotel was unfair.
Such as:
Air Conditioners: Air conditioning in England is very rare as most buildings are very old and it rarely gets hot enough to warrant air conditioning. So why would the lack of air conditioning be an issue?
Small Rooms: Yes the rooms in the hotel are small by our standards. So are the streets, the cars, the meals, etc. See a pattern developing? The rooms in the hotel are small as were the rooms in most hotels in London (Unless you can afford the Waldoff. Then by all means.....).
I did have a bit of a problem with the lack of, or rather complete absence of face towel. You have to use a larger towel to wash. But hey, it still gets you clean right?
The television is also very small but if you go to England to watch reruns of Benny Hill then the hotel is the least of your problems.
The hotel is in a very good area. It's a short walk to beautiful Hyde Park, Noting Hill & the Bayswater Underground Station. Also, it's a 15 minute bus ride (or a nice long stroll) from central London.
The Continental Breakfast is very good and the staff was always courteous.
You will have to keep an open mind when staying in this hotel, or any mid-priced hotel in London in general. By American standards with our modernized structures w/central air, large televisions and high speed internet access, this hotel would be sub par. However if you are looking for a clean hotel in a good area at a reasonable price, I would recommend this hotel.
