Hyde Park Premier London Paddington

This hotel offers excellent service, is very clean and well equipped and is highly recommended for all of these. We had booked a double and single room. The double room was in the basement, extremely poky, cramped and very dark and the window would not close properly allowing a cold breeze to enter all night. I would advise potential customers not to accept a room with a number commencing with the number 8 - ours was 806. Our second room, a single on the second floor was by contrast a bright, sunny room but once again far too small, you have to climb over the bed to get to the window and the space beyond it. Overall if you are staying more than a couple of nights, claustrophobic, have a lot of luggage or a cat to swing this is not for you. A pity given the otherwise excellent features

The location is good (5 mins walk from Paddington) but thats about it. The double rooms are all unbelievably small and unless you have the window open constantly, somehow even in the middle of November it was unbearably hot. Would'nt bother again.

This property bills itself as a 4*...it is not even close...! The first room given to me was completely sub-standard that the following day I was moved. I was given three different reasons as to why that could not be done the first night. The room I was given for the remainder of my stay was OK, but still not to their claimed standard. Don't let the facade fool you!

Did not expect much for £59 and wasn't disappointed! Room was an executive room but in basement. Room had nice fixtures and fittings but bathroom was very small and you could hear the rumble of the tube every few minutes. Ideal for a spot to crash after a night out but don't stay here sober!

The refurbished rooms are well appointed and very comfortable, though the elevator was quite shabby and clunky (to the point of being worried about it breaking down). The shower was a major disappointment with barely a trickle of water, so if I stay again I will ask for a room with a better shower.
