Friendly staff and very helpful in a usefull way. The towels were changed every day. The location was perfect and within walking distance from many sites. Sutable for 2-4 night stays if you decide to spend most of your day outdoors The room itself and the bathroom were so small that you would spend most of the time on the... more

The excellent location of the hotel, clean room and to our surprise, a not too tiny room, even for four, together with a friendly and helpful staff, made the stay at the Crownwall hotel a very pleasant one and I would most definitely return to it and recommend it to others. Good value for money. more

Nervous about London hotels- being a former Londoner - and didn't expect alot for the price. Location is excellent, sheets and towels were clean, staff friendly and helpful enough - but that's it. We knew as we climbed the old staircase that seemed to tilt, that things weren't looking good. Expected small room and bathroom but even smaller than imagined.... more

I've been to this hotel with my wife last November. The location is very good, walking distance to 2 subway stations and nice neighborhood. The staff is really friendly and breakfast is better than expected. The lowlights were about the overall accommodations. I've been to small rooms in France and Italy, but have never seen a room so small. We... more

This was a great find for Central London! It's just north of Hyde Park, so a great location, for a great price. They have 24-hr desk service. It is easily accessible to Underground - it's a short from/to either Paddington Station or Lancaster Gate Station. It has a lift, which is very helpful with heavy bags! The street was quiet... more

If you are talking about value for money then I suppose this hotel is very competitively priced and has an excellent location for visiting the sights of London. If, however, you have certain standards of cleanliness and hygiene then this hotel's ranking drops significantly. We stayed at the Crownwall Hotel for 5 nights in July and would honestly say that... more

Best station to get to this hotel is the Lancaster Underground Station. You'll know what I mean when you get there. It is much easier and shorter to access to and from about the underground. Even to Heathrow, just take the Centeral line to Halbron and connect to Picadilly to Healthrow. The Paddington Express is 17 pounds, so use the... more

Reading all the reviews here, I booked 4 nights at the Crownwall in August '07. Overall, I'd say it's a good deal (given the prices in London hotels these days). Good points were that it was in a decent location near tube stops (Lancaster Gate - 6 minute walk, Paddington Station, 12 minute walk), the street isn't *too* busy (see... more
