Watch out - Not all of the Rooms are good!
I found this place on the internet and was surprised to find such a good deal: £59 a night for a double room in a four star hotel in central London seems quite a bargain. When we arrived, we weren't all that happy anymore. The room didn't really look like in a 4*, but rather like a 2* hotel. The furnishings were very old, the walls too thin and the bathroom was just tiny. We did however not complain, because we thougt that the price is ok for a hotel just around the corner from Hyde Park, although we found the room quite shabby.
We were very surprised when our friends arrived at the hotel the last night we were staying there: they had booked later than we had and payed a few pounds less. The room they were given was however worthy of a 4* hotel and looked like the one on the picture. It looked very new, was nicely decorated, had a much larger modern bathroom. There was even a micro-wave and a flat-screen TV in their room!
I might go back to the hotel again, but next time I would complain in case I was given a room like last time again. If you book the hotel, try to change the room, in case it is one of the shabby ones in the basement - the people on the higher floors didn't pay more than you did!
Wheter you have an old or a new room, they are all very small! No space to leave any huge suitcases open...
The picture is from the official homepage of the hotel. I forgot to take one of our room, sorry! I liked the location of the hotel. It's not too far from the "Lancaster Gate" Underground station, which is right next to Hyde Park. It's only 1 stop to the stores on Oxford Street.
The staff of the hotel was very friendly.
