The J Hyde Park Hotel

Staff were nice, affordable, very good location near shops, room was smaller than expected but still good

I read mixed reviews for this hotel online, and after staying there, I understand why. It depends what your expectations are arriving. This is a budget friendly hotel in a great area. It is in a safe area. The rooms are very clean. The bathrooms have been updated and have lovely showers with great water pressure. The staff are lovely, perhaps a bit shy, but very kind and helpful when needed. This is a great place if you are spending your time sightseeing and are just returning for showers and sleep. It's is not a hotel I would stay expecting spa like experiences or spending the day in the room. We stayed in a triple room and there was plenty of room for 3 of us and all our full sized luggage to walk around. We stayed in November and our room temperature was very comfortable. There is adjustable heat and air conditioning in each room. As mentioned before, the rooms and bathrooms were very clean, however there was some mould starting in the bottom of our shower. Likely due to guests not using the fan, not a housekeeping issue. The bathrooms come with a small bottle of combination shower gel/shampoo. There are towels and hand towels, but no face cloths which I found a bit odd. There are only stairs to the upper rooms, however staff offered to bring up luggage.

This hotel is absolutely phenomenal for its price. I couldn’t believe how large my room was and how amazing the bathroom was. It looks a little shabby when you first walk in, but when you get to your room, you can see how they have modernized everything. Sadly, the company doesn’t employ extra cleaners so the poor receptionist have to do everything so bear with them if you arrive and there is no one on the front desk. They will definitely come if you just shout out for them. They let me check in early and they held my cases at reception on my checkout. The gentleman on reception were more than gracious and helpful to a single woman that I was alone. The rooms were so so quiet and warm and the TV was exceptional. The beds are super comfortable and just around the corner. You are within everything the best restaurants and cafés and a 10 minute tube ride to the center of London. I have stayed in more star hotels in worse condition than this one so for safety and quiet this is the one. Just be patient with a lack of stuff sadly, but everything else is phenomenal and the staff that are there are wonderful.

Comfortable beds, spacious room, excellent area
