This hotel only opened on 31st Oct 2009 so the reviews from before that do not apply. The location is excellent with many restaurants & shops on the surrounding streets. The building is beautiful and the staff were friendly. I booked a deluxe double through book travel and stay for £95 - a clear bargain for central London. Taking this... more

To be fair, the hotel has re-opened (unbeknown to us when booking was placed). To begin, we are in our second night of seven, but DO NOT BOOK FOR A GOOD FEW MONTHS!. The first impression was excellent, the eccentric and eclectic interior of the foyer shows so much of what would have been. BUT..... as we arrived right on... more

Two years ago my wife and I went to London for our honeymoon, and ended up at this hotel. It's located in Bayswater, close to Hyde park, so I find the location very good. The hotel itself however...not so good. The first day we didn't get into our room because of som problems with the key card, and the staff... more

Stayed one night in room 304 and was really impressed with the spotlessly tidy and comfortable room. The whole place has been recently refurbished and was like new.The room was on the front but no noise issues. It was everything i could have hoped for. The local Lo Spuntino Bar/Cafe on Bayswater road serves very nice food and amazing coffee.... more

First of all the hotel had lost our booking and gave us dirty looks like it was our fault even though we had paid in advance. The staff were rude and not at all helpful. Also their English was very limited which made communication difficult. We were put in a room at the back of the hotel and felt that... more

The first impact is great: the façade is amazing and the lobby and public areas around it are just beautiful. The rooms are very small (and by that I mean really really small!!!!) and the only view you get is to a wall, but they're comfortable and, let's face it, you don't go to London to spend much time in... more

I had searched for a few hours online and read numerous reviews about the broom closet sized rooms at various hotels in London. Reviewers had good things to say about the Shaftesbury Hyde Park and they were right. I booked a double room on the hotel website at 55 pounds per night including breakfast (for one night in February). I... more

This Hotel has the most gracious and spacious entrance area, reminiscent of an 'Old Boys Club'. There is a glorious,wood panelled sitting room for guests to enjoy. The rooms are small, make no mistake, but for price, location & decore they are second to none. Hyde Park, Queensway and SO many restaurants, bars and shops are steps away. Every attention... more

Like most people we read the reviews written and then spent many, many hours surfing the net to find that elusive "excellent" rating. This time we decided to 'bite the bullet' and booked up over the phone and resigned ourselves to the fact that you only spend the night in a hotel to sleep, not live. We booked up a... more
