Hyde Park Court Hotel

Location for our stay was brilliant as we attended BST in Hyde Park. This was one of the cheapest accommodation we could find with close proximity to Hyde Park. First appearances was dated but usually not an issue to us at all. Our room was located on 2nd floor. The room was very, very basic and very, very small. With one box on the wall as a table to put things, but this was also home for kettle,cups and a phone. There is a stand alone wardrobe that is not attached to the wall so when I opened it it fell forwards and was caught by my husband as he was standing very close to me as he had no choice as the room was so small. The wardrobe had pieces of folded card placed underneath to prevent it from toppling forward, the sort of thing you do in a pub with a beer mat to stop the table rocking! There was a spare pillow stuffed in the wardrobe. The bathroom, again very small, but it works. We are not big people so not an issue. It soon became apparent that the room was in desperate need of a clean, skirting boards caked in old grime, splashes of drink up the walls near the bin, hairs on the floor in the bathroom. The weekend we visited was during the heat wave so we knew this it would feel hot. The saviour was a fan on the wall which did provide some relief. The bed was very warm to sleep on as you could feel a plastic cover under the bottom sheet. Breakfast was offered at £5 per person which we were prepared ro try however after the uncleanliness of the room and the rest of the hotel we gave breakfast a miss. All in all not a good experience. We dont mind basic, and as the old saying goes 'you get what you pay for'. But cleanliness and safety is surely a priority?

This is a great little hotel. It's being refurbished. Our room was clean and was OK. There are no lifts so it was a bit of a climb but it was only once a day. It's location is brilliant. It's 2 minutes a from a bus stop (including hop on/hop off tour buses. Paddington Station is 5 minutes away for the tube and there are dozens of takeaways within 10 minutes. Hyde Park is a 15 minute walk away. It's great as a base to explore.

Great strategic location for (re)discovering London especially at this price point. Stairs were a bit of a challenge, room was small but clean, no ac but a fan. Essentially everything expected present. Breakfast was better than I feared and personnel friendly.

When I read the comments, I was a little concerned, but when I got there, I realised that some of the things described were true. Yes, the hotel is clearly being renovated little by little, but I have nothing to complain about. They changed the towels every other day and the sheets too. I even asked for towels and they provided them right away. I think they could improve with small changes, such as shower hoses and shower heads from SHEIN or Temu. Providing toilet brushes is important for Europeans... and the windows should be repaired so they can be opened to enjoy the pleasant view. The breakfast tables could be sanded, painted and varnished for easy cleaning and a fresh new look. Yes, it is pleasant for families. In fact, most of the guests I saw were two families. Each room has its own private bathroom inside the room.
