Hyde Park Court Hotel  

I was a bit worried since this place gets mixed reviews, but we got a lovely room on the first floor. The room was facing the street, but since it is a quiet area this was no problem regarding noise from the street. The room had big south facing windows, so lots of light and easy to get some fresh air. Room was quite big for London, and the bed was nice and big as well, comfy and with a real duvet. Bathroom was nice and clean shower and plenty of towels, soaps etc. We did not use the hotel breakfast restaurant but bought bread, fresh fruit, yoghurt etc. from the nearby shops. There is a big organic supermarket just 2-300 meters from the hotel and also lots of other shops (Tesco, Sainsbury's, M&S Food +more). There are coffee and tea making facilities in the room. Location is really convenient, close to Bayswater, Queensway and Paddington Tube stations. Hyde Park is a 5 minute walk away, and we also walked to Portobello Road. Just behind the hotel is a Barclay's bicycle hire station. Brilliant concept - pay £1 per bike pr. day and after that you just take out a bike, drive to whereever you are going and leave it at another docking station. The docking stations are all over town, and if you use the bike 30 minutes or less, it is free. This was a perfect way for us to explore the city and avoid the sometimes congested tube. Maps of all the docking stations are available at Tourist Informations. Whiteley's shopping mall is just 200 meters from the hotel. It's a quiet place but has some of the high street shops, a cinema, restaurants etc. A nice place. We also went to a very popular Persian restaurant, Anoulak, just next to the organic supermarket. Very popular, so we had to queue, but absolutely worth it and very reasonably priced. We would definitely stay here again.

internet access was weak

The location is very good on a very nice quiet neigborhood and yet near to many insteresting places.

The room was a bir tired and small. The bathroom was ridiculously small you can barely move yourself on it.

this is the most over priced and un clean place i have vere stayed. it is not a hotel !!!

ONly the location.

I didn't like anything at the hotel!!!! At the website it seems that the hotel is a little bit more confortable. When I arrived at the hotel, the guys gave me the keys of a room with 2 single beds. And I was with my husband, and at the website, I've booked to get a "couple bed." The staff is almost all INDIAN and do not speak english very good. They do not know almost nothing about the city, and ask us (guests) every time to look at the internet. The breakfast is terrible!! Strong smell of fat, a limp and cold bread, a coffee that is more similar with tea than coffee. The toilet was terrible. A fat person never would use that. It is so small, that me which have 55kgs could not move into the toilet. I really hated that hotel and will never come back again!! Much less to recommend to someone. Tks Debora Freitas

The price And location of this hotel is very good. You are only 5mins walk away from Hyde park and paddington tube. Although the rooms were quite small they were still clean and if you arrive at this hotel knowing the rooms will be small then you have a pleasant stay as your expectations have not been raised to expect a large room. On the whole hotel was fantastic, location fantastic lots of shops nearby serving all day breakfast. Also the area is very nice for the image you have of London of cobbled street etc on the whole was a pleasant stay and throughly enjoyed the trip.

The water could of been hotter and there was hardly any water pressure.

location is good

breakfast was very simple, don`t expect too much and room size is small

Very friendly and helpful staff. Satisfactory breakfast, option to leave the luggage on reception after checking out... You get what you pay for. It is really cheap (considering the location) so do not expect any luxury. But for young people who love to explore the city, I wouldn´t reccomend any other place to stay for this price!

Unbelievably cramped room. Seriously, I´ve never seen such a small bathroom in my life. Not even when I was on a boat trip. If you suffer from claustrophobia, you won´t last in this hotel for 5 minutes! The other thing - when we arrived, the heating was off. I had to ask the staff at the reception to be so kind and turn it on. Then I had to ask them the same on the next day, as they turn it off again. In cold january. But it didn´t spoil our stay at the hotel and we would gladly book it next time when are around.

I liked how cheap the hotel was and friendly the staff were. It was also only a short walk to oxford street so perfect for what I was after.

It could of been a bit cleaner.

The rooms was spacious and the en-suite was good. The breakfast staff were friendly.

The breakfast food was budget and there was no tv remote (even after being given 3 to try). The reception staff kept turning my radiator off and I had to keep asking every evening for them to turn it on On the last night an American resident kept my awake until 4am with his loud talking, so it would appear the walls are thin.!

clean and servicable for the money

Excellent location; helpful staff

Extremely small room, actually too small for two people. There was no room for luggage to be opened except on the bed, for example. This may be the standard for this class hotel in London, but it was a surprise for us.

The Location was just fantastic, so near the tube station approx 4 mins walk from Lancaster Gate Tube station & paddington station, 2 stops from Oxford Street and 3 stops in the other direction from Westfield Shopping Centre. we were on a shopping trip so we could easily pop back to the hotel and drop off the bags and head straight back out shopping, The staff were very friendly and helpful,The room was reasonably sized and very clean, it was quiet and the breakfast was perfect. I would totally reccomend this hotel,

It's location which is quite close to Paddington tube station.

Rooms are too small. Toilet is extra small but shower had very good flow and pressure of water. Breakfast is very very basic with very few items on offer..
