The hotel has undertaken major refits on so many rooms, squeezing as much out of the budget as possible, where thought about cost has dictated over quality & customer needs. Oversized Lightbulbs glaring out of the top on understated lampshades. Curtains not closing & pictures you would see in a charity shop. The complimentary bathroom & tea tray items are... More

I stayed at the Lancaster for a conference. To be blunt, if I had booked this hotel for a personal trip or weekend getaway to London I would have checked out immediately and gone elsewhere. You pay for the location and not much else. The Good: 1. Service was friendly and courteous. 2. Bed was very comfortable. I appreciate a... More

We spent three nights at this hotel just across the street from Hyde Park. Our room had a view overlooking the park and a magnificent panoramic scene of downtown London in the distance (although frequently obscured by rain and clouds). There was immediate access to both tube and bus transit. The buffet breakfast was truly outstanding despite the large numbers... More

My stay there was a surprise with highs and lows.The mentality and attitude of the staff was excellent. Everybody was polite and helpful, reflecting a high-standard hotel. But that was it. The room was below average and not spacious as expected. Moreover, you had to pay too much money to have internet in your room. And this is not acceptable.... More

Fantastic location - literally next door to tube station and bus stop - straight into Central London. Cross the road and you're into Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park. There are some of Boris's bikes available also, but we didn't get round to trying them out. Desk staff are very helpful, professional and friendly, as are the porters/concierges. Very clean and well maintained.... More

We really enjoy this hotel and it's view of Hyde Park as well as access to the tube. We had a deluxe double with park view. Our daughter and her husband traveled with us and they also enjoyed the hotel. We bought the prepaid breakfast, which makes the day. Rooms were always clean and fresh. Can't say anything negative about... More

This place reminds me of the gentleman who had lunch at the Eiffel tower restaurant everyday because he said that was the only place from which he couldn't actually see the tower. It's a big unattractive block of a hotel from the outside, but the rooms are very spacious (for London standards) and quite comfortable. We had a superior twin... More
