Grand Royale London Hyde Park Hotel

Our double room wasn't available upon our midnight arrival, so we had two single rooms the first night. In a generous gesture on the hotel's part, we received a (hearty) complimentary breakfast every morning. The location is fantastic, the rooms clean, the beds firm, and the building gorgeously refurbished on the ground floor. The only negative is that the rooms are so small that it's difficult for two people to move around at once in a double room. I know that's typical for London hotels, but I was a little surprised this qualifies as a "four-star" hotel.

The room was a little small and didn't have the greatest amenities, but who's in a room when you're visiting London? Great location, very close to public transport.

British hotels aren't known for their size, but when you're away on holiday you don't really want to spend your time in a hotel when you have a wonderful city to explore. Within close walking distance to two Underground stations and a bus stop, accessibility to the city is very high. Some nice places to eat nearby, too. Great value for money.

Perfect location, easy to park, well presented hotel

Abgeschreckt durch manch negative Bewertung war ich sehr gespannt, was da auf mich zukommen würde. Wir waren zu zweit, die Zimmer waren zwar klein, aber für unseren 5Tägigen Aufenthalt absolut o.k., am besten war auch der Wasserkocher, Tee und Kaffee wurden täglich aufgefüllt,, so konnte man gleich morgens im Zimmer frühstücken, alles war sauber, Bad völlig ausreichend groß und wir hatten auf Wunsch auch ein Zimmer im obersten Stockwerk bekommen. Es war einfach eine traumhaft schöne Zeit in dem Hotel, und durch unmittelbare Nähe von zwei Underground-Stationen ist die Lage absolut perfekt, trotzdem ruhig gelegen!! Alos - wir hatten nix zu meckern!

The hotel looked promising, with beautiful woodwork in the lobby and a spectacular location, but some key things fell a bit short. All in all it was an average stay, but I would look for a better hotel the next time around. The room was clean and cozy. Nice after a long flight. Our room looked out into an alley, but that didn't bother us. The hotel bar was downright bad.

During Edwardian times, Lillie Langtry, mistress of King Edward VII, frequently performed in the in-house theatre of this historic hotel. That theatre is now a bar, and the other public rooms of this hotel are all beautifully restored to their 19th century appearance. The rooms are modern and well-appointed, and clean and comfortable. I stayed in a Deluxe Double on the fifth floor and it was no smaller than any American hotel of the same value. It even had a terrace! The hotel is located across the street from Kensington Gardens, and just moments from both the Queensway and Bayswater tube stations, as well as the restaurants and shops on Queensway. It is also a 5 minute walk to Kensington Palace and a 15 minute walk to the Portobello Road Market. Paddington Station is nearby, where you can easily reach Heathrow within minutes. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Grand Royale Hyde Park and loved its old world feel.

Im Hotel angekommen, mussten wir leider feststellen dass unser "Superiorzimmer", gerade mal so gross wie das Bett war. Im Badezimmer (1m auf 1m) konnte fast nicht geduscht werden, da mann sich kaum drehen konnte so klein war das. Mann könnte dies überschatten, wenn wenigstens die Sauberkeit stimmen würde, aber auch dort ein riesen Manko! Das WC stinkte die ganze Woche nach sonste etwas und die das 10cm auf 15cm Waschbecken war alles andere als Sauber. Nicht mal die Heizung funktionierte! Angestellte: Enttäuschend! Lage: Wirklich gut! Fazit: Eher 2 Stern als 4 Stern! Nie wieder!

The hotel was fine; good location, close to two tube stations/lines, close to Hyde Park. The room was tiny but otherwise a very nice experience.

Rooms are small, 'Superior Single' is literally a twin bed in a room not much bigger than the bed with a bathroom that is about 5' square. However, i have heard that hotels in Europe tend to be smaller. That being said, hotel is nice, staff is friendly and knowledgeable, the neighborhood has a bunch of pubs and restaurants, and the hotel is spitting distance from two tube stops, a number of bus stops and Hyde park. All in All its a great place that's not too far from central London. Just watch for the small rooms.
