Hyde Park Towers Hotel

De locatie was erg goed; midden in het centrum van Londen; vlak bij twee Metro stations.

Ik had een eenpersoonskamer. Deze was extreem klein en zat aan de achterkant van het hotel. Ik had om een kamer aan de voorkant gevraagd met een 'view.' De airconditioning werkte niet goed en men vergat wel eens de kamer 'schoon' te maken.

Het personeel was heel vriendelijk, en we werden zelfs herkend van een vorig hotelverblijf. De kamers zijn proper, de bediening goed. De maaltijden in het restaurant zijn heel lekker, en uitstekend van kwaliteit, al mocht er wat meer variatie zijn. Men doet zijn best om toch zo milieuvriendelijk mogelijk te werk te gaan (buiten een punt - zie hieronder).

In de brochure zegt men dat er zelfs milieuvriendelijk wordt omgesprongen met de verlichting. Doch hebben we tot onze spijt moeten vaststellen dat de buitenverlichting (spots op de naam van het hotel) al vroeg op de avond begonnen te schijnen, terwijl het nog volop licht was buiten. (de spot scheen in onze kamer.

Alles behalve de kamer

De tweepersoonskamer was zo klein dat je er nauwelijks kon staan, het was in feite een éénpersoonskamer met een extra bed. vooe één nacht was het goed te doen maar voor meerdere nachten zou de kamer echt te klein geweest zijn.

Dichtbij underground Circle Line (directe aansluiting van Liverpoolstreet, waar de trein vanauit Stansted aankomt).

Redelijk kleine kamer, welke niet al te schoon was (voornamelijk vloer, badkamer).

It's a nice hotel. The hotel is ubicated very near to the subway stop of Queensway and Bayswater which let you use two different subway lines. There are special offert to contract the breakfast in the hotel website, consisted of paying only 5 pounds per room and day( in our case we had breakfast 3 person per 5 pounds per day). Good system of heating.

The cons is that the room is very small,and narrow.The room has fitted carpet.

Close to the tube network as location is not very central.

Underground runs along the hotel so tubes run from 5am -12pm and is very noisy!!! Do not stay here if you need sleep!! Rooms very small and uncomfortable, heating very hot and we were unable to turn it down as the switch was broken.

Staff were very accommodating with our requests. Excellent breakfast (buffet). Close to tube but some rooms WAY too close underground(see below!). Wifi ok in upper rooms.Good location/area, on a side street, so a little bit away from noisy main road.

First night was put in room on ground floor. Tube ran what felt like 2 feet under our bed! Couldn't sleep at all when it started to run. Staff moved us no problem for the next night. I would have rated higher than 'fair' for this room on the second night.

Although out of the West End,it's nearness to Bayswater tube station made travelling easy. Given better weather walking through Hyde Park to the West End would have been enjoyable

The lift broke down during our stay. Carrying cases down stiars on the last day was difficult and anyone with a disability didn't seem to have an alternative. Should hotels of this size have two lifts?

The excellent location

the rooms need urgent renovation....

how clsoe it was to the train station was excellent!

the rooms were a lot smaller than i wanted, and believed they would be. the bathroom was extremely small. really noisy, could hear everything going on in the corridor and room s at either side.

Small glass of wine @£5 is excessive

Appreciate the services of the staff of the hotel

Inadequate space. Had to carry the luggage over the bed instead of just pulling it across the room.

Aside from an odd experience at breakfast where we were coralled behind a rope, I was very impressed by the staff at reception. It is rare these days to be greeted by a big smile and a member of staff willing to do whatever it takes to make the check-in/check-out process simple. I recently stayed at a Holiday Inn Express in London which cost £40 more per night and had the rudest staff you could imagine. Well done Hyde Park Towers. Great location, comfortable and cheap, with a priceless charm. Thank you

Rooms are tiny but this is central London and space comes at a premium. It was suffice for our needs. Chaotic at breakfast, and no need for a rope to bar our entrance to the restaurant. We are house-trained and able to follow simple instructions like 'please wait here' - no need to be rounded up! We found breakfast at a cafe around the corner so the busy restaurant didn't mar our stay. A minor minor complaint and certainly not one which should put others off. On the whole great value for money and perfect for our needs.
