The Averard Hotel

Booked at short notice, the only room available was a triple when I really wanted a twin or double. On settling the account I was pleasently surprised to be given a discount of £50 - which reduced the charge to £90 per room per night including contintental breakfast - excellent value for a three star hotel in central London. The Averared has, however,seen better days and needs updating both furniture and fittings wise as well as decor - scaffolding outside indicated that perhaps a long awaited paint job was on the way.The hotel is located in a prime position directly opposite Hyde Park and very convenient for the tube station.

Great location. Paddington & Hyde Park within minutes.
Hotel is very very "tired" and in need of redecorating both inside and out. However, rooms were clean and a good size.
Breakfast was adequate. Waiting staff could have been a little friendlier.
Ideal base for visiting London on a budget.
