Located next to Hyde Park, it's a block to the Lancaster Gate tube station and a few blocks to Paddington station. There is a guest lounge with a large TV and a pop machine. Our room was on the 2nd floor so we were happy that there was a lift. The room was small but tidy, with a double bed, table, 2 chairs, armoire, and a TV. We had a private bathroom, which is hard to find at this price in London. It had a bathtub too, not just a stand-up shower. The hot water worked fine. There was also a kitchenette along one wall, consisting of a fridge, microwave, range, and sink. Plates, utensils and cookware were in the cabinet over the sink. So, you really can cook in your room if you like!
Our room was a studio; there are also 1 and 2 bedroom apartments if you need something larger.
The floor was uneven and creaky, and the walls were thin. My husband was awakened one night by the snoring of our neighbor. But if you're a deep sleeper (like me) this shouldn't bother you. The window opened, letting in some cool air (a good thing, since there is no air conditioning).
The staff was helpful. For example, when we realized we'd lost our hotel address for the next leg of our trip, they let us use their computer to retrieve the information.
There's no restaurant on the premises, but there are a few nearby. There are 2 convenience stores if you walk north up Gloucester Terrace one block and turn left.
If you want to lounge around your room all day and order room service, stay somewhere else. The TV only gets 4 channels. But you're not in London to watch TV! Royal Court Apartments are clean, relatively cheap, and a nice place to lay your head at night after you've been out exploring.
