The Hyde Hotel

The check-in process was easy and the staff was courteous. We had to wait a bit for them to finish cleaning the room but it was fine. The Studio family room included a full kitchen that was a bonus. The best thing about the hotel is the price for the location. Location is great

I liked the room overall, The bathroom smelled bad, so could have used an air freshener. Also they should provide a hand towel not just body towels. I love that they had an iron, ironing board, hot pot, dishes, refrigerator, stove, all great. Complimentary tea bags and sugar would be a nice touch! The front desk people were nice. Also more than one room key would help for when your party goes out separately. An elevator would be great. Walking up 4 flights of stairs with heavy suitcases is a challenge.

“You get what you pay for” is all I can say. Location was incredible, which was our priority but everything else was very underwhelming. The room was clean enough, could use a proper deep clean but the towels and sheets were clean and it didn’t feel grimey. The beds were pretty uncomfortable and the room was very small, no space for luggage or unpacking or anything really. The bathroom was also very compact, with thin walls, but the shower was hot and decent. I did like that the front door to the building required a key, as mentioned, the location was perfect for us, steps away from the top of Hyde park, between 3 tube stations and on a main bus route road, easy walking to paddington station too plus it’s off a shopping high street with all the convenient shops and restaurants. I can definitely see why they’ve received so many complaints and negative reviews, it’s very dated and could use a lot of work, but when you chose to stay at one of the cheapest options in a good area you have to lower your expectations. Probably won’t book here again though.
