“Nice hotel in a quiet location”

Hotel was nice enough; staff were friendly and helpful. Room was nice but just neede a little more attention in regards to being cleaned. Plus they don't know how to make a bed properly, the bottom sheet didn't fit!! Hotel was located about 5-10 mins from tube depending on how quick you walk. Breakfast was adequate and very reasonably priced.

Getting there
Get a taxi to hotel even if you are arriving in paddington on the heathrow express: taxi driver told me it was just round corner, I thought no it isn't and after a 5-10 min journey I paid a fee of only £6,was round a few corners!! Lancaster Gate is the tube station situated on bays water road, it's central line so well connected to others. Regular service and not too crowded.

“Lancaster Gate”

Good value stay on a Sunday night in central London. Quiet position in Bayswater and reasonable room. Recent refresh of parts of the hotel has made a great difference

“Good Location”

The Lancaster Gate Hotel offered good quality for a fair price. The location between the Lancaster Gate and Queensway Central Line tube stops plus access to many bus lines makes the location ideal. The staff were extremely accommodating and pleasant. Across from Hyde Park for sitting on a bench or walking to Royal Albert Hall and the V & A. There are restaurants and convenience stores in the neighborhood. I was pleased with my 6 night stay at this location.

Getting around
Oyster card allowed easy unlimited access to transportation. Would suggest the boat service between Tate Modern and Tate Britain.
Other
Finally got to Wigmore Hall for a concert and was not disappointed. Only wished that I had gone to more.

“Well Presnted and Good Value For Money”

A pleasantly presented hotel of good decorative order. REception staff were efficient and pleasant. The only quibble I have is that the breakfast restaurant does not appear to be of a size to cope with the onrush of guests at peak times.

Comment from the hotel's management
Thank you for taking the time to review the Lancaster Gate Hotel after your recent trip. We welcome all guest feedback and we have taken steps towards making the breakfast operation more efficient by extending opening hours at weekends and also using the bar area for breakfast. Once again thank you for your time and I hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you back to the Lancaster Gate Hotel.

“Perfect location! will definately be back in September 2012!”

This hotel is in a clean and safe neighbourhood, a half block to buses and three blocks to tube station. Great local restaurants and the hotel has a dining room and bar as well as room service. The staff are very nice and offer good service. The rooms were very clean and quiet. Queen size beds available. We are looking forward to going back. This will be our hotel of choice having stayed at three others.

Area recommendations
Bayswater Road. Safe, clean and close to transportation and an internet cafe.

“Excelent opportunity”

It was an excelent choice. The room was ok, and the hotel in general was very good. The location was great, 3 tube stations close to it and buses as well. It is in front of the Hyde Park, it is an amazing area and a very nice neighborhood..

“Could be bigger”

The first room offered was not big enough to swing a cat in not to mention being able to bring the luggage in as well and a lovely veiw of the garbage bins and a brick wall at the rear of the hotel. After complaining we were shown another room just as small. The third room however was a little bigger and we were able to fit in this one with our luggage and it had an outlook over the street which was nice.Staff were very accomodating though and helped with information whenever they could.Would have been nice to be helped with luggage after 28 hours of travelling though but this didn't happen. Easy enough to get to by bus with a walk but as the main attractions and shopping are on the other side of Hyde park it wasn't central enough.

Area recommendations
Knightbridge would be better for those wishing to do a lot of sightseeing and shopping . The Langcaster Gate is a little out of the way although very close to Hyde Park for those who enjoy a lot of walking. This one is not a good choice for those who want to take in the London attractions and night life . Taxi fares to this Hotel (if they can find it) are around 12 pounds from the main shopping centers of Regent street and Oxford street.
When to go
There Summer is best as it is mild but keep in mind it dosen't get dark in the UK until around 11pm so if you require darkness to sleep get a sleep mask and also it gets light at about 4.30 am.
What to pack
If You plan on shopping don't pack much. Take extremely comfortable shoes that will compensate for swollen feet. Thongs are a must . Toiletries and things are cheaper there so buy those from a Boots Pharmacy when you get there.
Must see
Tower of London London Eye Royal Mews Harrods Department Store Westminster Abbey
Shopping
Regent Strret and Oxford street
Dining
Resaurants are quite expensive but there is a beautiful little Greek Restaurant near the Lancaster Gate Hotel which was absolutely gorgeous and the service was great.
Events and shows
The Jersey Boys is a MUST SEE it was fantastic

“Best Hotel for Hyde Park”

We stayed in Lancaster Gate Hotel in June 2011 to see Kings of Leon in Hyde Park. The hotel is excellently located just a short walk to Hyde Park and also to the Lancaster Gate tube station. The hotel looks lovely outside and in and the staff are helpful and professional. The downside to our stay was that the beds and pillows are really not comfortable and you can hear every noise in the surrounding rooms from showers running to toilets flushing so do not expect to get a good nights sleep. We were only staying for 3 nights but each morning we woke up stiff, sore and tired. Apart from this the Lancaster Gate Hotel is perfect for a long weekend stay and I would stay here again.

“Very nice location”

This is a nice hotel near to tube station (not uncommon in London) and only a street away from a large park with trees and grass. The hotel is a bit old, but clean and the personel is very friendly. The first time I got in my room, it was very hot and I could not open the window, but there was a very effective airconditioning. When I turned it on, the temperature dropped immediately to a comfortable level. In the neighborhood there is also a street with shops and restaurants (Queensway). I would gladly go there again.

“Have been to other Hotels in London & would go back again”

Great area to use as a base, as ver close to most of the tourist areas in London. Good transit & underground stations very close. Hotel is a little run down but it was clean & very comfortable. The room was up to date & comfortable. The beds were good, although Europe as a whole does not know what pillows are (they use flat squares). We paid to eat breakfast there some mornings, which was good. We did not eat any other meals there, therefore, I am unable to comment. Wi-fi was not included & a little expensive to purchase, however, as the cost of the hotel room itself was on the inexpensive side that was OK. If you are looking for a five star hotel this is not the hotel for you but if you are looking for an inexpensive, good, clean base I would recommend this hotel.

Area recommendations
Bayswater area. Close to almost all of London's tourist areas. The hotel is a couple blocks away from Paddington Train Station, within 5 minutes walk to 2 underground stations & 1 block away from a bus stop. With an underground pass (which covers underground & bus) it makes getting around very easy. You can walk through Kensington/Hyde Parks which are minutes away. You can walk to Buckingham Palance, Harrods, even the British Museum easily from this area.
