Blakemore Hyde Park  

The lobby is nice. Hotel is close to underground stations.

The room was disgraceful. Old, stuffy, full of mold, dirty. Bathroom was so small you could not close the door once inside. Absolutely covered in fungi, peeling paint, cracked walls. Ceiling so low my head was constantly grazing the peeling, moldy paint. First time ever the reception did not ask how my stay was after staying in a hotel and I can see why they would not want to ask that questions.

Friendliness of staff; good-sized room; room with bath; the overhead shower was amazing!; Ironing facilities; safe; staff very helpful and accommodating; free wi fi.Prices of restuarant meals were reasonable; however evening waiting staff seemed confused on personalised orders.

I had requested a room with a bath on my online booking form as well as a follow up phone call the following evening as we were staying for 6 nights. However, on arrival we had been allocated a room with only a shower, despite booking 4 weeks in advance.However, on mentioning this to the staff on arrival we were upgraded to a club room with bath.The taxi fare from the hotel (arranged through the hotel) to Paddington station (half a mile away and at the end of our stay) was £15 without tip! No mention of this excessive charge on the brochure/information or offered when I requested the booking. It was just £4 including tip from the station to the hotel in a London cab..Lack of stationery and pen in the hotel room - would help visitors planning trips. Lack of maps etc info on tourist attractions; tube maps etc in foyer or rooms;

It is the worst hotel I have ever stayed in, in London. Just the night before I stayed in a 2 star hotel in Bloomsbury which was delightful. Your hotel was grubby, the shower wouldn't go on, and when it eventually did it wouldn't go off again - had to call reception. Tiny twin room , claustrophobic with grotty bathroom - ugh! It seems to me that the hotel is purely a nice facade.........the receptionist didn't ask me how my stay was - I wonder why? I would also suggest you employ an interior designer that isn't colour blind and tastless.

The room was new so everything was in great condition and worked properly. We had a club room - plenty of room for two adults and a weeks worth of clothes and luggage.

The bathroom is very modern and functional but there is not enough lighting. You provide a magnifying mirror but it does not serve any purpose effectively because there isn't enough light to see into it. Also the position of the thermostat made it difficult to read - not enough light . We needed to use our cell phone as a flashlight to read the lcd screen on the thermostat. Tethering the hairdryer to a drawer makes it difficult to use - especially for taller people - and just seems silly. If someone swipes the hairdryer, charge their card for it. Finally, there were some issues with the fire alarm in the middle of one night during our stay. We were repeatedly awoken by the fire alarm. It was very unnerving and eventually killed any chance of getting a decent night's sleep. I was a bit surprised that the hotel made no attempt to apologize for it unless they were asked about it.

I´ve been here 5 times now, and always get a good service. The rooms are excellent. I´ll be back.

Hotel was clean ,good location

when eating at hotel staff were standing around. waited 20 mins for own plates to be taken away after we finished our meal .Sofa bed in our room was very lumpy and could feel springs

Clean tidy rooms. Good working airco. Good beds.

The breakfast could need a touch-up. The continental breakfast is very basic. I have seen better breakfast fascilities in other hotels. A bit out of class considering the rest was superb.

Kind, friendly staff. Location's easy access to public transportation.

Room a little too small for an extended stay when vacationing.

Location to station

Size of rooms very cramped

The room was brand new and would be lovley if it had been finished.unfortunatly nothing worked except the tv. a shame as it was to a good standard otherwise. although the room was smaller than had been advertised to us.Great breakfast

Nothing to like

The hotel room was very small and hot also the under the ground with the noise of metro station !! It was really a bad experience and no worth of money ... Not recommended to any body from my side ...

Location

Room isn't serviced daily,

We received an upgrade which gave us more space and was most welcomed however our evening meal at the hotel was very average in quality.The Blakemore is a little tucked away and requires a good 10 minute walk to locate the Tube.Hotel bar prices were reasonable and staff attention was good when required
