Well located hotel
We were 4 young people (aged between 23 and 28) and spent 2 nights in that hotel for a weekend trip. It is well located and the starf are friendly, helpful and even our wish to be on the seventh floor (to reduce noise from the nearby street) was fulfilled. What we did not like too much was that the toilet flush in our room did not work well and even though we metioned it at reception it was not fixed during the stay. Furthermore there was fungi behind the wallpapers in the corridor what caused a frowsty smell (but the rooms seemed fungi free). Moreover the hotel seemed a bit like a former first class hotel that has seen its best times and needs some investments. Besides these points the hotel is well located (tube and seger buses in all directions nearby) and 15mind from oxford street and next to hyde park. Value for money was okay but considering the above mentioned points compared to other hotels the four star rating is questionable.

Great Stay!
Our room was not ready when we arrived, so we got an upgrade to a deluxe room with a view of Hyde Park. It was a very comfortable room. The staff was friendly and helpful. The Island Grill restaurant was great for breakfast. Lounge comfortable and quiet. There are a couple other options for breakfast nearby. The location of the hotel is great, right around the corner from the Lancaster Gate Underground stop. Less than a 10 minute walk from Paddington Station and the pubs around there-Easy access from Heathrow Express.

Girls trip was a success
This hotel was perfect! We had a great view of Hyde Park. 2 twin beds. With two adult girls our luggage being larger then normal we still had plenty of room. Enjoyed our tea pot too. The staff and consierge especially was great. close to tube right around corner and close to hop on hop off bus. Close enough to Paddington even though the taxi's really hate it if you need a cab to and from hotel because it is too close yet I think to drag luggage thru the streets it was just far enough we needed a cab. cost was only 5 pounds. All in all we had a very good time and if we even go back to london this is where I will stay again. thank you for a great stay.

Our London Vacation
The Lancaster London (Formerly Royal Lancaster) was just wonderful. First location, it was near everything, we took a train from the airport to Paddington Station and only needed to walk a few blocks to the hotel. The underground and buses were right at the hotel so talk about convenience, it couldn't get any better. Second, the hotel was beautiful, clean and had great places to eat right in the hotel. Third, and best, was the staff. We would go to the concierge every day and get directions, advise, tours, and even an umbrella on a rainy day. All in all, I would tell anyone traveling to London to consider this hotel. We loved it.

In Hotel
The underground (subway) and bus were right at the hotel. It was cheap and you could get day passes or multi-day passes and save money. You can get anywhere in London using this transportation.

Ideal location for easy access to transportation
The room was perfect with comfortable beds, refrigerator, air conditioning, city view, safe in the room, and quiet for good sleeping. The bathroom was top-notch including heated towel racks, slippers, and robes. The staff was friendly and helpful, and willing to store luggage and allow use of the hotel safe on the day of departure after checkout. The best part was the location -- close to Paddington Station, on top of a tube stop and bus pickup. Hyde Park is across the street. Quaint breakfast spots are nearby as well as an ATM. Location made day trips to Windsor and Bath quite simple, and exploring London into the evening worry-free and routine.

Nice Hotel on a budget
The hotel is nice and clean. Rooms are small by American standards and the bathroom is tiny but it's London so for the price you can't complain. Bed was very comfortable and AC worked well even on the hottest days. The location is very good as well with Central Line Underground nearby and Hyde's park right next to it.

Excellent Hotel
Excellent hotel, friendly and helpful staff with a great location (literally next to Hyde Park, and maybe 50 meters from a Tube stop with several good pubs and restaurants nearby or within a reasonable walk). The rooms were spacious (by European standards) clean and well kept. Room service had fresh bathrobes and slippers ready by the time I came back from dinner/pubs every night. I would stay there again in a heartbeat.

Great Hotel - close to everything
We had a great stay at this hotel. When we checked in, we requested a cot and they had it and our bags delivered to our room within 1/2 hr, even though we were checking in early. Concierge was very helpful from giving directions to booking theater tickets. Underground/bus stops were right around the corner, and Hyde Park entrance right across the street. Room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Restaurants had a nice selection and reasonably priced tasty food. Got the room for a great price, and would stay here again in a heartbeat

Great
We arrived distressed because of a lost passport. The staff began immediately to assist us, checked us into our room early, the concierce began to call the airport, US Embassy, etc. We were assisted with directions which were easy to follow when we left the hotel to sightsee on our own. We did find the price of the breakfast to be high. The room was nice but the a/c was faulty and it was hot. Attempts were made to correct it. Housekeeping did a great job every day. The Thai restaurant was nice in the hotel. The tube station was close as well as the bus stops.

Breakfast was served at a little French cafe just across the street from the hotel. There was a pub, Italian Restaurant, and Thai restaurant within walking distance of the hotel. Food was good there also.
