It has a great style and vintage vibe. It's just across the street from Hyde park, and there are multiple metro and bus stops at walking distance. Would definitely stay again.

I’m not one for leaving reviews up I feel compelled to. Very disappointed in this property. Would be a great place to stay with some updating and a proper management company running the property. Rooms are very dated and pictures are not true to the actual rooms. No ac, bathrooms very dated but clean. I would not recommend anybody to stay at this property. Saving grace, good location to explore London.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff was very friendly! Our initial room smelled funny but the receptionist was super helpful and arranged for us to have another room. Hotel doesn’t have AC and it gets very hot. Room was superficially clean, but if you took a closer look, the bathroom needed a good stub down. The hotel itself is charming but has seen better times. The bed was very comfortable and clean. Hotel has a great location, right across from Hyde Park and public transport very close.

Fairly inexpensive, close to a lot of diverse restaurants, within a 1-2 mile walking distance of a lot of touristy things. Across the street from a huge park but beware allergies! I would say the hotel bathrooms need an upgrade but the beds were fabulous. Older furniture and wear/tear of the room but didn't prevent us from having a good time.

Overall, positive but still in transition or I would have given it more stars. Guest should be a pre-war history lover with budget in mind. Rooms still carpeted, no refrigerator, etc and don't commit to brekkies unless you're an early riser, as they start clearing the continental early. Definitely dog friendly, fantastic for dogs in Hyde Park.

Some inconveniences due to the age of the building, such as low water pressure. However, these are more than made up for by the excellent staff. They are always helpful and friendly. The location with the Lancaster Gate right there is wonderful! I would happily return!
