I was hoping to find a hotel that was safe, clean and in a convenient location in London. Princes Square Hotel certainly met these expectations and did not disappoint! The hotel is a short 5-min walk to Bayswater tube station, in a pretty and quaint area. I felt safe walking back to the hotel later at night, and the front desk was always staffed. The high street is a short stroll away and has everything you need. Guillam House nearby has excellent coffee - the best I’ve tasted in the UK so far. One caveat was that I initially booked a double standard room for 3 nights. The room was clean, newly renovated, and cosy. However, it was near a fire door in the hallway that was extremely loud when people came in and out of it. This prevented me sleeping from about 6am onwards on the first night. HOWEVER, when I told reception they immediately upgraded me to another room with no questions asked. My second room, the superior double, was lovely - spacious and clean, with a lovely outlook. It was perfect! The staff were friendly and accommodating. I would definitely return to this hotel if in the area again.

Conveniently located but there are no things like places t get a cold drink or refrigerator in room to put water and drinks. A/c didn’t work well and was very hot and they claimed to have no fans. Maid washed glasses in the sink without soap and put them back out. When we had them book cabs, they did not use black cab and our charges were at least double what they should have been.

Buyer beware, NOT EVEN CLOSE TO 4 STAR

This is by no means a 4 star hotel. In fact it is grazing 3 star at best. We were given dark dingy rooms in the basement with no elevator service. The beds were not comfortable. The only good thing about this place is the location, which is close to two subway lines and many bus lines. Unfortunately, I found this place through a search for 4 star and up and this is why I was badly disappointed. If I had searched for 2 or 3 star, I might have been ok.
