"The Hyde park. Good location newly refurbished"
I had a single room which although small was clean and bright and even had a balcony. I appreciated the small kitchen area. I liked the decor and fittings. My only criticism was that there was no bedside table and reading light and one had to get out of bed to put out the very bright room light. I would also have appreciated a rug to step out of bed on !

A friendly and modern hotel - great value for money and in a prime location. Room was small, but spacious enough for a short stay. Very clean and with the added facilities of fridge and cooker. Bed was large and comfortable. The only flaws were that the shower was not hot - more like luke warm! We could also have done with some lamps in the room to make it more cosy, as the lighting is there was very bright and harsh. Apart from that, we were very pleased overall and will more than likely use this hotel again.

"Great value for money"
Other than the walls being just that bit too thin... (whining neighbour asking us to turn the TV down!!) the place was value for money. Clean and easy to find. Service with a smile and quality appearance. The bathroom was a little on the small side, but the shower certainly made up for that as it was awesome!

"Good location, helpful staff"
The Hyde Park is what we expect from a reasonably priced hotel in (almost) central London. The rooms are very small but comfortable and clean. And it is within walking distance of tourist hotspots. The staff were professional but an extra smile would have made us feel more welcomed as a point of difference. We would stay there again.

"Very disappointing "
I paid £100 for a one night stay and when we arrived they told us to take the elevator and press B.. Which stood for basement! The room was smelly, a ventilation machine outside the window was making noise and the bathroom was customised for disabled meaning my head hit on the shower. I complained and got given a tiny room on the ground floor. And to finish off, the hotel charges £2.5 per suitcase if asked to keep luggage for a few hours because as the receptionist said "it is our way to tell people we don`t want to be keeping luggage". One good thing, running water in the shower had very good pressure and was always hot with no problems.

"Ok for one night."
Pleasantly surprised by size of room. Good quality television, tea and coffee facilities provided. Good wardrobe space. Reception staff efficient and pleasant on arrival. There were some cleanliness issues. Net curtains looked dirty. Decorative brown cushions on the bed were stained-would have been better not have had them at all. Some cobwebs in evidence and towel rail in bathroom and walls could have been cleaner. Double bed was made up for only single occupancy i.e. duvet did not cover bed. Request for this to be rectified was unsuccessful. Fortunately it was a warm night. Bed whilst firm was ok.All in all ok for overnight stay but would not wish to stay longer.

"Acceptable for one night - would not recommend longer"
First impressions of the hotel was that is was clean and compact with friendly staff and an easy check in procedure. The room was small however they managed to get most essentials in a small space including double bed (with very VERY hard mattress), wardrobe, desk, hob and crockery cupboard and TV. The bathroom was very small and unfortunately the shower leaked. The major gripe that I had was the lighting - the main light was very bright but sadly there was no dimmer and no bedside lamp. I went to reception to request one but was told it was not possible, even once I had explained that my 8yr old was anxious about being away from home in a dark room but unable to sleep with a glaringly bright light..... not great customer care! Despite this the price was reasonable for the accommodation in a good location and for one night only - any longer and I would have struggled but one night was fine.

"bumped"
The hotel was lovely, when we eventually saw the room - unfortunately they tried to bump us into a vastly inferior holiday apartment as they had overbooked - even though we had booked three months in advance. They put two non smokers in a smoking apartment which smelt of stale smoke. We rang the hotel to get the problem resolved which took over an hour, as the manager wouldn`t speak to us or ring us back as promised. Eventually the manager was reached and we requested a refund, at which point we were told we could go back to the hotel and have our original room. After all this palaver we missed the first hour and a half of the event we had gone to London to see and the manager didn`t even have the good manners to speak to us personally and apologise. Won`t be staying there again in any great hurry - shame really as it is a very nice and modern hotel with comfortable rooms, very neat and clean.

The photos of the hotel, did not represent the hotel well, ebven though the rooms were clean, they were very cramped. The reception area was very gruby and unkept. Reception staff on the other hand were very helpful. The car parking also was like a waste ground.Good location from shops and main attractions.

Hotel was clean,modern and located in a good place. The only negative was that the room was a bit small, if you intend to stay for quite a few nights then i think you would find it a bit cosy!!

"Good for the price -served its purpose"
The hotel had clean, modern furnishing including the bathroom. Albeit small - a very large bed filled most of the room. Nice and helpful attitude by staff. Quiet area, but not far to lively streets. For a relatively inexpensive stay, good value.

"Hotel change"
I arrived at 2:30pm and was told they had to transfer us to another hotel as the room had been flooded from above. I asked why we had to be re-located when lots of other guests were still to arrive and they said it was because they had already allocated rooms and printed off all the arrival sheets. Well I obviously found that unacceptable as effectively they were choosing an early arrival over and above other customers to move hotels. As I had already phoned them that morning about parking it was the least they could have done to let me know the problem before trawling across London to the hotel. Eventually they backed down and found me a room but it wasn`t exactly a friendly welcome and they had seemingly made life easy for themselves by pre-allocating rooms.

Ridiculoulsy hard bed, TV didnt work unless wires were rearranged to hang out the bottom of it to pick up a signal. No TV remote supplied. Our room was on the ground floor and window overloooked fire escape, could hear staff running up and down fire escape stairs very loudly. Rudeley awoken by Fire alarm test going off at 8:00am on Sunday morning, not great.

The decor is of the highest order, very clean and modern, and the staff very pleasant indeed. However, the room was very small, so much so that the double bed fitted from end to end so i had to climb over my partner in the middle of the night to use the bathroom. bed was too hard, and there was a horific sound just outside the window all night .Dont know if it was the air conditioning or what it was. We were lucky to get an hours sleep all night. Sorry but we would not stay there again.

"Really enjoyed our stay at The Hyde Park, cosy and sweet!"
Only one thing that I could comment on is the shower, a bit badly positioned and not movable, apart from that its a perfect little getaway :)Would recommend for everyone.
