Really impressed by this hotel. The staff on the front desk, Hassan and Alisha, were really helpful and friendly. The room was a good size and had a view of Hyde Park. It has a Nespresso coffee machine, mini fridge, large TV, and all the usual hotel things. The shampoo and conditioner were much higher quality than you get in many other hotels. The bed was very comfortable, and it was nice to have AC in this heat. The breakfast was very good with a good selection of full English, pastries and cereals, and cold meats and cheese and fruit. The bar was also nice although we didn't use it much. Although it's not the most attractive on the outside, it's very helpful to be above a service station for picking up drinks and snacks. Absolutely perfect location for staying in London. We would absolutely return.

Thank you so much Karina & Sertan for our wonderful stay in your lovely hotel. Your staff were excellent and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was great and the room was really comfortable and relaxing. Location was ideal for getting about in London, we really enjoyed our time in the capital and look forward to seeing you again. Many thanks David & Lynn.

Perfectly serviceable hotel in a great location. Stayed for a show at Royal Albert Hall and it was an easy hop through the park. The room was fine, we actually got "upgraded" to a bigger room with a park view. Technically yes we did have a view of the park but it's predominantly obscured by a few large trees, a nice free upgrade but I wouldn't pay for it. The room was clean enough, although nothing special. Standard chain hotel. The main issue was the noise, you're on a main road. Great location wise but windows do nothing to block out the noise. The noise from other rooms was also an issue. Neighbours one side having loudspeaker phone calls, and the other deciding to run a bath at 5am. Not the hotels fault if other guests are noisy! but the fact we could hear everything would indicate it's an issue with the soundproofing.
