"A charming stay in comfort."

The hotel provides lovely warming atmosphere, supported with informed and welcoming staff. A nice smile goes a long way in a city that can sometimes be stressful for a tourist. The beds were comfortable, the rooms exceptionally clean and well maintained, the only problem being the bathroom was a little pokey. Otherwise we enjoyed the luxury of an afordable hotel in London with an excellent number of beds!

"Adequate, just don`t look down!"

We arrived at 11:00 pm after a harrowing day trying to fly out of Heathrow. The desk clerk was very nice, however, took a phone call while we proceeded to wait, and wait, and wait. The lobby was very nice so my hopes were raised for our room. And then we got off the elevator and looked upon the hall carpet which is in dire need of replacement! To say it is stained would be putting it mildly. I was afraid from that of what the room would be like but was pleasantly surprised when we entered. Spacious, clean, and mostly comfortable. The outside facade of the hotel is undergoing renovation and hopefully hall carpets and some fresh paint on the walls will be included. If it weren`t for those carpets, our rating would be much higher. And the biggest consideration is we only paid £42 for the room - that`s total cost, not per person, in London!

"Good location. Basic room. Friendly Staff."

The hotel was under some construction when we stayed but that didn`t ruin our stay. The room was really basic and the decor was really dated throughout the hotel but its clean and comfortable. As we were out and about a lot it didn`t seem to matter that our room wasn`t very fancy but possibly over priced for what we did get.We ordered some room service and were quite annoyed to find a £2 tray charge on the arrival of the food which wasn`t mentioned anywhere. Not quite sure how you get the food for the price stated on the menu!Overall a clean, comfortable and hassle free stay.

"Made to feel very welcome as soon as I arrived at the Reception Desk"

Comfortable bar in the evening; good breakfast in the morning. Only booked for 1 night, so didn`t really get the full ambience of the hotel as we were out in the City most of the evening - but I would definitely consider the Lancaster Gate again ... locatiopn was excellent, and it was a very quiet area.

"No surprises"

The hotel was exactly what we expected! We were over night for a gig in Hyde Park, easily within walking distance. Clean room, decor in bathroom a little tired but great shower. Breakfast was a little disorganized, however when we ate it was lovely food! Great for one or two nights!

"Clean & compact"

Room was very small but clean. Bathroom was a good size with an excellent shower (good water pressure). Refreshments in the room left a lot to be desired. Milk cartons were off & there was only one cup other than that the room was comfortable. Hotel was nice & quiet. Staff were polite & helpful.

- close to underground, clean, good breakfast. Comfortable beds so slept well. A little noisy plumbing when next room had a shower or bath. Our room was at the back and had no view at all which was disappointing although being out and about all day we did not need it. Rooms across the corridor looked out at front of hotel.

This hotel is in a wonderful location. The rooms are very clean and breakfast was great. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The use of bag storage on day of departure was well worth it. Thank you.
