Shaftesbury Hyde Park International Hotel

The hotel was clean and the staff was very friendly. The location is very nice, within 2 blocks of 2 different Underground stops. Plenty of dining options in the area if you don't want to go far. The rooms were somewhat smaller than I am used to. If you plan on spending a lot of time in the room, upgrade to the club room. Otherwise, it's great value for the money.

The hotel was just great. Friendly staff that worked with me on storing luggage and printing coupons for discounts through their system. The room was small but that is what I expected. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was just right for two travelers. I really like the location. 1 block from Tube station and 1 block from a variety of reasonably priced restaurants. Would stay again and recommend to family and friends.

This hotel is located steps away from Bayswater Tube station on Queensway. This location is fabulous for ethnic (Asian) food, and is convenient to Paddington Station. Room I stayed in was very clean, and quiet. There was free WiFi. The combination of location, convenience, and cleanliness makes this a fantastic value for money. My room was quoted as a double, but really was best for a single person.

The bed was comfortable and the linens were clean. I did not ever receive a facecloth however. The room was too small for even one chair, so one had to lie on the bed to watch T.V. There was no place in the bathroom to set one's toiletries other than on the closed toilet seat. Access to the room via narrow corridors with multiple sets of up and down steps was difficult. I enjoyed having a small restaurant on site for breakfast. I also appreciated the wi fi access.

Arguably the most over-priced hotel I have had the misfortune to stay in. The room itself was a nightmare to get around - imagine two people with luggage trying to move around the equivalent of a shoebox and you get the idea. There just wasn't enough space and it was super frustrating. It was so small, even the wardrobe had space issues! You were lucky if you could fit a couple of coats in there. The bed was also tiny. If you're tall (anything over 5"8), then your feet will dangle over the bed because it isn't long enough. Additionally, we had a really old mattress which sank in the middle. We spent both evenings tossing and turning to get comfortable. The pillows were also very uncomfortable - they were over-sized, so it made it difficult to rest on them properly. Our room had no view - unless you call the sight of a wall a view! Finally, the bath/shower had a handle to allow disabled persons to use it, but it didn't have rounded edges. I badly grazed my leg on one of the sharp corners of the handle. For the 400 or so dollars I paid for two nights, I thought it was a complete rip-off. Granted, the location is good, but when it comes at the price of no space and no sleep then you can forget it. I wouldn't stay there again - not even if you paid me!

Single room is literally 5ft. by 10ft. Smallest room I have ever stayed in outside Asia. Great destination for dwarf convention.

When we arrive at the hotel, they could not locate our revesevation. Fortuanately we had a copy of our hotel confirmation. And the man at the front desk had to make couple phone calls to locate our reservation then it was O'K. When we get to our room, we found that the room is extremely small, in according to the hotel floor plan, our is probably the smallest. It was even smaller(20%)than the cruise line standard state room. The closet we had can only hold five hangers and one suit case by the window. There was only one desk chair and no other sitting chair. One side of the double bed was placed against the wall, and I had to climb into bed first before my wife. I really think the room we had was for one person instead of two. The good, the location of the hotel is very good, close to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens. A block from Queensway with many restaurants and shops. I would not go back to the hotel next time unless they can gurantee me that they will give us a room large enough for two people.

The rooms are small by U. S standards but conform to Brit standards. Given that, the room was very well appointed, clean, and most acceptable in all regards. Staff was most helpful and Kensington Gardens is a block away. Beautiful afternoon spent watching children as they play in the Princess Diana playground. Will return here next London trip.

Booking fiasco - hotel had not received booking from Hotel Club - when they obtained it, they had no available rooms, and I was sent to walk to a nearby associated hotel. No apologies from staff involved, but one complementary breakfast was provided. Hotel facilities were average: tiny room, unpleasant smell through air conditioning and dangerously broken desk chair. Otherwise fine!

Very good hotel with high standard of facilities in good location. Polite staff. Highly recommended.
