Clearly fake reviews on this place. NO location. The LOUDEST rooms ever. Good luck getting sleep. Not sure where the hell anyone would have ever said this was a good location because there it literally NOTHING around this hell hole of a hotel. FAKE REVIEWS. DO NOT STAY HERE! I have spent 40 years traveling for business globally and this was one of the worst experiences anywhere. Walk the hell away from whatever deal they offer. Not worth it.

Hotel is quite run down. With markings over walls and so bad in the room that you could see the plaster board. Was clean but certain amenities such as the kettle we couldn't use as so rusty. Pillows are super thin but overall was an okay stay for one night

Got an upgrade, which was so appreciated . Location is perfect. Easy access to lots of different neighbourhoods. Rooms are dated. Front desk isn’t consistently staffed but the sister hotel of Westbourne Hyde Park is directly across the street. Once the car traffic dies down, it’s extremely quiet given how central it is. Local cafes and restos are convenient and good.

I’ve been to London a couple of times, and this was by far the quietest hotel I’ve stayed at during my visit. The rooms were updated and fresh& very clean. The staff were friendly & provided exceptional service. Highly recommend! parking can be a bit of a challenge if you’re driving, so look into that before your arrival & you should be G2G!

One night Stay

The lady on Reception was lovely. The only issue we had was we were located on the top floor (7th floor) with two suitcases each and Concierge was on a break. Room was very quiet and clean, with Molton Brown toiletries. Comfortable bed. There was only one fire escape which was down the main staircase, hence a no-smoking hotel. Good location for Paddington station/Heathrow Express, just a few minutes walk. No amenities but bakery/restaurants/coffee shops within easy distance.

Nice room, good location, odd service / amenities

Hotel room was clean, and a close walk to the train station. Front desk was not manned all the time - had to cross the road to a different hotel for service, which made checking in not a very seamless process.
There are no lifts in the hotel, but they do have staff to help with the bags. Room is old - laminate was chipping off the table - but it was clean.

Wonder gem of a hotel!

Our stay at this boutique hotel was fantastic! The room, while small, is equipped with everything you need. The shower was perfect after a long day of travel. The Molton Brown amenities were an added bonus. And the location cannot be beat. We can recommend the restaurant down the block - The Taste of India, as well as the pub across from Hyde Park, The Swan, as well as the Cleveland Arms. We would absolutely stay here again!

Hyde Park Cresent Hotel

Lovely hotel, the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself was stunning, the stairway and rooms are really nice. The complimentary things in the room was a lovely extra. The only thing I would say is the windows seem to be single glazed and there doesn’t seem to be any sound proofing so you can hear other rooms / lots of noises outside, I would recommend the hotel and would stay here again despite that.

Cute hotel with great location!

Very nice hotel and a great location! Close to Hyde park, Paddington station, buses etc. Quiet street but still local pubs around. There is no food served in the actual hotel. Be aware most pubs in London stop serving food around 9pm so plan accordingly. My only complaint for this hotel is the insanely tiny bathroom sink lol. Water splashes everywhere when you wash your face. Other than that it’s a great hotel! We would stay again. We had a balcony but the door was bolted so exit onto it was not possible. I assume it was just an ornamental balcony. We had a mini fridge in room.

The photos are not accurate. One would think that this is a large grand hotel. In truth, this is a small hotel with a limited number of rooms. I would have rather the advert be honest and say that it was a small unique location with comfortable rooms in a great location.

The quad room is 2 twin beds and a sleeper couch. They were all very comfortable, but you must navigate a flight of stairs to the lower level (no elevator). This may not be the best fit for international travelers with large suitcases-we really struggled to get ours up and down the stairs.

They have a great coffee offering in-room. The bathrooms were clean and very roomy.

There are many restaurants and bakeries around the block.

This seems like a safe neighborhood, but as always be aware of your surroundings.

I stayed here one night as I had an 18h layover in London. My room was small, but clean and comfortable. It was perfect for my stay. The hotel is close to Paddington station and close to many monuments should you feel like visiting London on a tight schedule. In my 3h walk from the hotel and back, I had the time to see the Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Buckingham Palace, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, London Eye, Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden. Rooms might be too small to be comfortable for an extended stay, but for a couple of days, I definitely recommend this hotel.

Basic service at a premium price

Stayed on the hottest night of the year and the air conditioning was locked to prevent you from turning it down which made the room extremely uncomfortable- reception however was being kept nice and cool. No lift available. No one available at check out and you had to use your room key card to leave the hotel - they was no clear sign as to where to leave the card. There was a lot of shouting from an adjacent room and when I called reception I was told that no one was available to come and speak to them. Overall a basic service set at a premium price.

Great location, simple but comfortable room.

Excellent location next to Hyde Park and within close walking distance from several tube stations, Kensington Palace, Notting Hill, and other destinations. Safe for walking at night for two women alone.
Accommodation was basic but comfortable. No lift, but we didn't mind as we only had small bags. Our room strangely did not have toilet paper in it, which we didn't realize until after hours. There is no attendant at the front desk in the evenings, so someone has to come from the Westbourne across the street to assist- definitely check to make sure you have everything you need when you first get in. We paid 84GBP for 1 night, which was a good deal for our quick London trip, would stay again in a similar situation.

I got much more than I paid for in terms of the standard of the room. I'd booked a 'Compact' room so it was as small as expected, but the quality was great. It felt like a room in a good standard business hotel with less floor space. This will be my go-to if I need a room in Paddington now.

This was a great place to stay in London. It is an easy walk to Kensington Gardens, Baker Street, and Paddington Station. There are plenty of trains and buses available to get you around town. This specific area was calm and quiet, too, which was helpful. Our room was clean and lovely.

I do want to mention that I did not see an elevator, so guests would need to climb stairs. Also, our Do Not Disturb sign was removed by staff who came in to clean up. Not a big deal, but a little worrisome when it happened.
