The Hyde Park Towers Hotel - London

I stayed in this hotel for five nights during my first trip to London. I was generally highly satisfied with my experience here. The staff were friendly, the room was clean and nice, even the continental and English breakfasts were satisfactory. My only complaint would be the noise coming from the back yard machinery and the every 10 minutes shake from […] the underground trains running beneath the hotel. If you can live with some noise and shaking, then the Hyde Park Towers Hotel is high quality for your money, and of course - extremely close to the underground which takes you to inner London in ten minutes. I'd definitely go back! Læs mere

Jeg fik anbefalet dette hotel af en kollega og blev ikke skuffet. Det er et udmærket hotel til prisen, når/hvis man skal have et sted at bo i London og samtidig ikke ønsker at bruge en formue på hotelregningen. Jeg havde et enkeltværelse (standard uden morgenmad) på 2. sal "mod gården", dvs. væk fra gaden og evt. trafikstøj. Efter danske forhold et […] lille værelse, men efter engelske forhold den sædvanlige standard. Badeværelset var fint. Rengøringen upåklagelig .Morgenmad kan købes på hotellet, hvilket jeg gjorde een gang. Den var ikke spændende, så de øvrige dage spiste jeg morgenmad på en af Queensway's mange små spisesteder. Under mit ophold var hotellet under renovering, hvilket betød at halvdelen af hotellet var spærret af. I samme periode var der sporarbejde på Circle og District line (The Tube) så nærmeste station var Queensway (max 5. min fra hotellet). Personalet i receptionen var venlige og imødekommende. Jeg kommer gerne tilbage som gæst på hotellet og anbefaler det gerne til andre. Læs mere

Vi valgte hotellet udfra anbefalinger, og vidste godt det ikke var top luksus, men bestemt en god oplevelse, fint hotel med god service og fantastisk beliggenhed. Helt sikkert et valg til næste besøg i london.

Whether it is legal og not legal in UK to have rooms in the basement, it was very unpleasant. And it was not informed in the reservation papers. We could hear the underground. The room was cramped with no space for travel lugage. Sheets were in pieces and cleaning deficient. Reception service was fine.

Fint hotel, dog var maden på hotellet forfærdelig. - kold og dårlig kvalitet.

Glimrende hotel - men næste gang beder jeg om et værelse der ikke er i kælderen. "Tuben" kører lige under hotellet, så det kunne høres/mærkes. Ellers bestemt et ok hotel. Pris og kvalitet hænger meget godt sammen.

Prisen passer med at hotellet ikke er nyrenoveret, og det er som det altid har været i London i dette område. Op og ned skydevinduer på værelset der er drøn utætte, men pyt det kompenserer radiatoren for. Ingen dug her! Værelser er meget pæne og rene, morgenmaden er meget fin, og for lidt ekstra kan der også fås English breakfast! Utroligt fin placeret […] tæt ved 2 tubes stationer og et kvarters gang til Portobello Road i Notting Hill. Der hersker en meget hyggelig atmosfære på hotellet. Jeg vil meget gerne komme igen.

Fint hotel, god service, god morgenmad, minimal bar, tæt på Bayswater-station (Underground) som ligger tæt på centrum.

Hotellet ligger meget centralt. Mange skriver at de kan høre undergrundet. Nu har jeg boet på hotellet 3 gange,og har kun haft eet værelse hvorfra vi har kunne høre toget. Morgen maden er rigtig fint. Personalet er hjælpsomme. Hotellet er lidt slidt og værelserne er små. Men der er rent og pænt.

Hotellet er et rigtigt hyggeligt, men også lettere slidt hotel. Alt virkede dog fint på værelset; varme, toilet, bad og hvis man kan undvære TV, internet, køleskab og andre 'luksusgoder', ja så var det upåklageligt. Det kunne vi - vi skulle nemlig blot sove der og var ude og opleve London hver dag. Uover den rare service vi fik, så må det jo også siges […] at hotellet ligger i et absolut overkommeligt prisleje - hvilket jo er en vigtig pointe. Hoteller i London kan være en dyr fornøjelse, men ikke her. Morgenmaden var også fin - ikke luksus, men hel OK... English breakfast og "continental" - som bestod af brød, diverse oste, müsli som man selv kan blande, frugt, juice, yogurt etc... Hvis man har fravalgt morgenmaden, da man bestilte, så koster den ikke meget ekstra. Hotellet er jo placeret yderst favorabelt på bykortet; et stenkast fra Hyde Park, Royall Albert Hall, og andre centrale seværdigheder og "the Tube"/ metroen, ligger lige rundt om hjørnet. I den lille hyggelige foyer findes der også en fin herre bag en computer, der kan hjælpe dig med alt hvad der sker lige nu - rådgive dig med shopping, restauranter etc... Kort og godt - er du ude efter et hyggeligt budget hotel, som er konfortabelt, men ikke luksus - uden ekstra "moderne" bekvemmeligheder etc. - så kan vi varmt anbefale The Hyde Park Towers - og så en lille bonus for dem der kunne være interesserede - dette hotel var faktisk Jimi Hendrix' første hjem i London, da han kom til byen i '66 - og han boede der i knap 3 måneder.

Meget hjælpsomt personale. Men hotellet trænger til lidt vedligehold. Der er for lidt pladser til morgenmads gæster.

Det er egentlig et glimrende hotel - det ligger bare forkert. Hotellet ligger ovenpå Bayswater Station - og det ikke bare høres - det føles - hele huset ryster hver gang der kommer et tog. Det er ikke et hotel man skal bruge til mere end 1-2 overnatninger. Værelserne er ikke til hyggeligt ophold. Men når så det er sagt, så er det et OK hotel til prisen. […] Personalet fortjener ros for deres hjælpsomhed og imødekommenhed. Morgenmaden er glimrende. Rengøringen er vanskeliggjort pga manglende plads - men værelserne indeholder det de skal. Læs mere

Da vi ankom til hotellet blev der taget godt imod os. Vi fik anvist et værelse lige ned ad gangen fra receptionen - dejligt, ingen trapper. Det viste sig dog hurtigt at vores dobbeltværelse faktisk var på størrelse med et kosteskab - da vi havde fået bagagen ind på værelset, var gulvet fyldt op!!! Ret hurtigt efter ankomsten til værelset, hørte vi en […] temmelig kraftig rumlen... kunne det være en kuffert på etagen ovenover? Da værelset begyndte at "ryste" blev vi enige om, at det var det nok ikke. Vi fandt ret hurtigt ud af, at værelset lå LIGE ovenover det ene af underground-rørene. Det ville måske have været en nyttig viden, at have med i hotelbeskrivelsen - det kunne have betydet at vi havde fravalgt hotellet. Værelset var desuden koldt og fugtigt, og vinduet (der iøvrigt var lige ud til en mur 50 cm væk) var så utæt, at gardinet "stod vandret" ind i værelset. Det positive ved hotellet: God beliggenhed 2 min. gang fra Bayswater station, kort afstand til Kensington Garden og Hyde Park, og gåafstand til stort set alt. Så er man ikke kritisk overfor STØJ fra undergrunden det meste af døgnet, er hotellet værd absolut værd at overveje. Læs mere

Godt Hotel forholdsvis centralt beliggende i London. Udmærket morgenmad, Brunch m.m. Personalet yder en høj og personlig betjening, er generelt hjælpsomme. Kan anbefales!

Udemærket hotel. Værelserne er pæne, men meget små. Havde der været varmt vand i vandhane og bruser, samt en adapter til rådighed på værelset havde oplevelsen været mere fukdendt.

værelserne er meget små og i dårlig kvalitet

Hotellet ligger tæt på bus og undergrundsstationer, der hurtigt bringer en ind til centrum. Betjeningen var venlig. Morgenmaden Ok uden at være spændende. Der var trangt med plads, både i spisesalen og på værelset. Ellers var værelset, inklusive badeværelse, rent og pænt.

They say that you get what you pay for!!...well the Hyde Park Towers was cheap by London standards, and all round poor in terms of facility.. Construction is on-going, so no elevator available...the room was tiny....unable to open the wardrobe door properly, because the bed was in the way. Bathroom was uncean...with loose taps in the sink...but the […] bed was very comfortable. Læs mere

The hotel did look nice on the net, but is was a disaster. The girls in reception where nice and friendly but the hotel was crap even when it comes to London standers. So if you are looking for a place to stay in London thats just a bit better then staying on the street this is it, but if you are looking for an hotel look somewere lese!

The hotel is being renovated at the moment. It is encased in scaffolding and workmen trample through the building constantly. The public areas are dirty or boarded up. The room was tiny, tatty and threadbare. No indication of the refirb work is available when booking. My opinion - avoid like the plague. Hardly represents value in this condition.

Threadbare carpets, a dodgy smell in all the communal parts, old, very tired hotel. Room was freezing with a portable electric heater provided. Mold by the window frame, window looked like it was near collapsing. The bed hadn't been made properly when I first entered the room. Don't be deceived by the up to date tv in the lobby - my room had an ancient […] tv which had poor reception and only picked up the basic 5 channels, when at no cost, hotels can easily get 30+. Great location, but incredibly poor value and definitely one to avoid. No wonder guests don't have dinner or drinks there - everyone else going elsewhere. Stay somewhere else if you can. Læs mere

Was stuck in a tiny room (110) right above the extractor fan of the kitchen which was only turned off at midnight every night. Paper thin walls meant I could hear anything and everything else that was going on. Really couldn't recommend it. If you can, spend a bit more or head further from the city centre to get a better hotel for the same price.

On arrival to hotel my overall thoughts were that is was a very clean well kept hotel. However on entering my room I couldn't believe the condition I found it in. The overall decor was tatty, the carpet was badly stained, the bin hadn't been emptied and the beds hadn't even had the sheets tucked in. Also the room had a horrible smell and the shower […] was constantly dripping very loudly so I instantly asked to be moved. The second room was better but was still a long way off being a nice stay. Læs mere

front staff very nice and helpful, down hill from that point

It is a bit disappointing for a 3 stars. my room was very small and the bathroom was literaly a matches box. The carpet in the corridor and the room needs updating, it looks old, shaby and dirty. The service was good and the breakfast (hot and buffet) was great.

Decent value. We travelled with our 9 month old and the cot fit in the room, having said that rooms are small, old but clean. Tea and coffee available in room. No airconditioning and once window is open noise from the street could be a factor. Bathroom sink backs up, common for most of Europe. Surrounded by other hotels and hostels but neighbourhood […] is safe and main transit lines are close. Læs mere

a very warm and friendly hotel . staff are very friendly and rteady to help . breakfast was ok fruits were not very fresh but generally there to warm and friendly atmosphere. slightly expensive for the size of the room but a def recommend

I stayed at this hotel recently for 6 nights.Whilst I found the staff helpful and pleasant to deal with, I was very disappointed with the quality of the hotel accommodation. The bed was comfortable, but I would have never believed it possible to build a bathroom as small as ours was. I am glad I am not overweight as I would have had to leave the bedroom […] door open just to dry myself. I nearly had to anyway. We had to let the hot water tap run for at least 5 minutes before we got any hot water in the shower. The hallways smelt of ammonia or something like that and I was glad I could open the window to air the room. The view of old cigarette buts on the ledge outside was not very pleasant however. The carpets are worn and stained in places and really should be replaced. I cannot comment on the restaurant as we did not eat there at all. The most this hotel has going for it is its fantastic location. There are plenty of good restaurants within easy walking distance down the street. Hyde park just down the road and underground and buses very close by. Læs mere

The hotel is conveniently located and the staff was friendly. There are plenty of eating places, pubs, and stores nearby, and the hotel is also within walking distance to tube stops and Kensington Gardens. On the negative side the rooms are small, but I realize this is typical for London. Also, I can sometimes hear the rumble of underground trains, […] but this only bothered me on the night I had insomnia. I would book again on my next trip to London. Læs mere

Room was great. The bathroom fan was a bit loud. Service was helpful and the location is great.

Location ideal, hotel in bad need of renovation. Room very small, nearly had to get into bath to open bathroom door to get out . Bedrooms nothing like on website Floors very creaky and can hear every step. No pints in bar, only bottles. Nice area with plenty of resturants and a number of pubs. 2 subways only minutes away. Location great for city, pity […] about the condition of the hotel. Læs mere

We stayed at the above hotel for one night and had a twin room. The room was clean and comfortable and was perfect for a short break but we feel it would not be very suitable for a longer break as the room was quite small and basic unless you are looking for something cheaper than average. We feel that if the room was modernised it would have been more […] comfortable but other than that we enjoyed a pleasant stay. Læs mere

The location is great--short walk to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, to Bayswater and Queensway Tube stations, and lots of restaurants. However, the standard of cleanliness was not very high. I had to request that the tub and shower be cleaned, because there were traces of someone else's hair left in it. Staff was friendly, but not especially hospitable. […] Other guests were VERY noisy. They would often carry on loud conversations in the hallways and congregate boisterously on the curb late at night with alcohol . The noise wasn't from only here, but also from the adjacent hostel. Think twice if you want to rest while you're on vacation. Læs mere

Great Value, Great Location. Rooms are small but very comfortable beds and no complaints. Can be noisy in the corridors and stairwells in the mornings so dont expect a lie on. We followed the advice on previous reviews to stay on first floor away from the sound of the underground travelling under the hotel whioch was great advice. All in all a good […] hotel. Læs mere

The Hyde Park Towers is conventiently located in London. 2 Tube locations within 2 blocks, bus stop is one block . A neighborhood shopping area is located 1 block away--with Burger King, McDonalds and numerous other restaurants--Italian, Chinese, etc. The area is safe. You can walk to the Portabello Market, through Keningston Park, to Oxfrord Street--and […] numerous other places (depending upon your physical condition) Hotel staff was friendly--no hassle on check-in or check-out. This was our third stay at this hotel which has become our favorite hotel in London. Price was good. Overall, a great place to stay. Læs mere

The Blond girl in reception, she is not the fastest. nearly 20 minutes time for checking in.

Hotel was located in lane adjacent to Queensway which was a less than 5min walk to Queensway/Bayswater station. Many restaurants within easy reach. The hotel facade was good but rooms are very small and it was overall very old and dusty in the interior. Toilet was very small. Small tip: To get hot water from the taps, you would need to leave them running […] for at least 5mins. Carpet was old and the floors were creaking. Take the higher floors as it might get noisy as it is located next to the road. Not recommended for honeymooners. Otherwise, good value for money. Læs mere

Breakfast was very good, great location, easy access to trains, lively nightlife. Good restaurants. Great access to Kingsington Park!

This is a classic London hotel. That means small room and small bathroom, but great location. If you are in this area of London, you likely are not spending much time in the hotel - you should be out and about! Underground is nearby, Queensway is nearby, Hyde park is nearby, which is great. Try to get a room at least on 1st floor (2nd floor to us Americans). […] On 1st floor you hear the trains go by until late. Staff was friendly. You will see all walks of life at this hotel, not like a normal business hotel or big chain. Many people stay here for weeks, some like us are just passing through and staying a few days. Læs mere

As a very price conscious businessman in London for six nights, the Hyde Park Towers matched the expectations that I had developed from reading the available reviews. I knew to request a room on an upper floor, to minimize underground trains sounds and vibration. I was there in mid-July and the days were warm. There was no A/C, but with windows open […] at night and having requested an electric fan from the front desk, my room was comfortable for sleeping. I rarely watched TV, which was just as well as it was mounted near the ceiling. The bath was small, but adequate and all plumbing worked. Often hotel guests complain about the lack of hot water - not so for me. I had abundant hot water at all times of day, so hot that I could not regulate it to the point where I could comfortably stand under the showerhead. The bed was a twin, and I am 6' 4", but I still slept well enough. This was no pillowtop mattress, but for the price, not the worst hotel bed I have experience. I had the continental breakfast in the dining room most days and for six pounds it was satisfactory: coffee, juice, yogurt, fruit, fresh croissants and jam. A full English breakfast was available, but I never sampled. The hotel was very close to two tube stations and most of my local travel was by tube. Taxis were also readily available and I never had to wait long for one to pass by the hotel. The front desk staff were always pleasant and helpful, answering questions, making recommendations, arranging a very early morning taxi pickup. If I was headed to London for a similar reason and remained as price-sensitive as I was this recent trip, I would have the Hyde Park Tower Hotel on my short list. It wasn't elegant, but I slept well, had a serviceable bathroom, had decent breakfasts and good nearby choices for other meals, had convenient access to transportation. Free Wi-Fi was also useful, although I used it most often sitting in the bar/lounge as the room was sufficiently snug as to make working in the roo Læs mere
