3rd time unlucky

Disappointing stay. Reserved a twin room. On check in, no twin available but offered an upgrade that turned out to be in the basement. Room was OK but had no outlook out of its two frosted windows. Quite claustrophobic. Not great value for 200.00 GBP. Stayed here several times before and had much better experiences.

Fine, nothing special

The good: It was a clean, new room. I was there for one night, so was put in the basement with no view. The room was freezing. The hotel sent someone down to help, who advised me to turn the thermostat up to 28 to get it to respond. This was 10pm. The heating issue was probably a fluke, but I would have expected a better experience for the price.

This hotel should not have 8.2 stars. They took all the phones out the rooms, they turned on the heat when still in the 60s, you couldnt call when you had an issue, the only good thing was the lication and breakfast. We stayed at a hotel near by , but couldn't get rooms there. I will never be back to Lancaster Gate. While I was there I told them of issues, they sent me a nasty letter. The rooms were old. You had to flush the toilet like it any old water closet. You either burnt with the hot water in the shower or froze.

A great experience

While the hotel shows a little bit of wear and tear, it was overall very clean, the service was great, the room was comfortable, and the location cant be beat. I stayed for a week and found it very reasonably priced. Would stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lancaster Hotel. London has recently been dealing with an increase in trouble with the recent protests and thefts; however, the hotel is located in a very safe-feeling neighbourhood. The room itself was clean, but our window latch was broken and we were located on the first floor which made us feel slightly uneasy. Other than that, we will certainly be staying here again.

Great location. Walkable to multiple subway stations. Property is a little dated. Front desk said they are getting ready to renovate but not do anything about the plumbing. You have to have a special touch to flush the toilet as the plumbing is so old. Overall a good choice for the price and accessibility as we were never in the room.

The bed was wonderful. I slept beautifully. They need to redo the carpets. They are full of stains and look dirty. They might not be, but that’s what they look like. Breakfast was mediocre. I felt there was a poltergeist running around my room because I could hear everything around me and I was in a corner room. Would I stay there again? Yes because of the price, no because of all the other things I mentioned.
