This is an older hotel. If you want new-and-shiney go to South Kensington, not North. Take a second look at everything. You will see older things that have been loved and cared for. The staff members are absolutely outstanding in their friendliness and willingness to help. The location is particularly excellent for me. It is across the street from the Serpentine in Hyde Park. If you like to walk the parks, if you want to wank in park land all the way past Buckingham Palace to Trafalgar, this is the location for you. Paddington Station, with a pharmacy, groceries, and many shops and restaurants, is a short walk away. There is a tube stop and a bus stop less than a block away. The hotel is an old lady. Expect some creaky joints and wrinkles on her lovely face. Yes, there is an elevator.

Great location, convenient to underground, restaurants and stores. Room was clean and housekeeping was excellent. Breakfast was good as well as the breakfast staff. Beware. The bathroom is super small.

Great location , nice and clean. Comfortable room. Great value.
