The hotel offers clean and nice rooms with great views of the city and Hyde Park, although the 'Handy' feature was not functional during my stay. The service was top-notch, with friendly and polite staff, although there were delays in assisting with luggage. The location is excellent, right next to Hyde Park and Lancaster Gate tube station, making it ideal for exploring London. The dining options were limited and overpriced, especially for breakfast. Overall, a pleasant stay with some minor drawbacks.

Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though in need of a revamp, were comfortable and clean, living up to their presentation. The view from the 15th floor overlooking Hyde Park and west London was fantastic. However, the service, while courteous and professional, had some communication oversights. The prime location opposite Hyde Park and Kensington Garden was exceptional, but there were minor nuances in the dining experience with a wide variety but with room for improvement.

The hotel's rooms, though fairly small for the price, were very clean, well-equipped, and soundproof, perfect for a 4-night stay. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, ensuring a great arrival experience. The location was both too far from the center yet excellent for getting in and out of London. Dining had its ups and downs, with slow service and high prices but also featuring the best breakfast ever. Despite some drawbacks, I am excited to return for breakfast and the amazing rice pudding.

I loved my stay at this hotel! The location was fantastic, right next to Hyde Park and near the tube station. The rooms, though a bit small, were like new and the fabulous location made up for it. The service was top-notch, with staff going out of their way to show us the bee hives on the roof and the amazing view across London. The dining experience was a real treat, especially with a table overlooking the park, although slightly disorganised and expensive. Overall, a great value for money stay with a few minor hiccups.

The hotel had amazing rooms that I didn't want to leave, delightful, clean with all modern conveniences, a wonderful bathroom, and an incredible walk-in shower. The view from the room was the best. However, the dining experience was fantastic with so many delicious options, but if you wanted something else, it was lukewarm. The service was exceptional, from allowing an early check-in after a red-eye flight to always being super helpful. The location was very good, next to the underground and overlooking beautiful Hyde Park. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay faultless.

The hotel has a fantastic location right opposite Hyde Park and a short walk from Oxford Street. The rooms are nice but could use some renovation, and there was an issue with noise near the elevator. However, the hotel responded well by refunding an upgrade fee. The service was top-notch, with extremely courteous and friendly staff. The location is unbeatable, close to public transport and key attractions. The dining options were great with a variety of choices. Overall, a good value for the experience.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms had a retro vibe and the communal spaces were high-end and sleek, the poor air conditioning made it uncomfortably hot at night despite setting the temperature to 18C. The deluxe double room on the eleventh floor overlooking Hyde Park was smaller than expected.
