Top Croydon Hotel Reviews

Bob W London Hyde Park

Bob W London Hyde Park

10/10 Excellent
"A very spacious room for London. It had a seating area a large bed windows and a desk it also had a place to store your clothes and a table with a coffee pot. Very no-frills in the amenities, you pay extra if you want anybody to clean the room while you are there if it’s a shorter stay. There was a very nice person at the front lobby area greeting people as they arrived. The location is really convenient to Paddington and other stations. A quick walk to Hyde Park."
