Just spent a lovely new year in London,no thanks to the Byron. Our room had the hotels air conditioning unit outside the window so loud humming all the time.Room 3 was quite tatty,a 1 inch gap under the door let lots of light in,milk in room was off,could only use the shower as tap wouldnt divert to bath.On the +side staff were friendly and a good location. Dont know how it got 4 stars.

We stayed for 1 night, New Years Eve and it was ideal for us! Room was on the small side but considering we only wanted a clean, comfortable accommodation to lay our heads down for the night it ticked all the boxes and I must say the bed was very comfortable! Good location, minutes from Queensway tube station and friendly staff. The only negative things we found was the air con, it didn't work & the room was like a sauna so good job we had a fan in the wardrobe and a nice big window to open! Also baggage room is only a shelf in a corridor and is unsecure. I would most certainly recommend this hotel and stay again

Stayed in Byron mid December for 2 nights,. The hotel is decent & honest enterprise, but accommodation is quite basic.
Pluses & minuses
+ Location. 5min walking from both Bayswater & Queensgate tube stations. For those who like to do some daily jogging/walking(me)- Hyde Park is just 2min away.
+Proximity to Paddington and Victoria.
+ The staff was GREAT! Thank you, guys! All my questions were answered/wishes accommodated in no time. And effortlessly-)
- The hotel looked clean, but rather worn out. The room was tiny & so was everything else (which is to be expected in central London for the price of GBP 85). It is only my personal opinion that the room & hotel in general were not comfortable, but very functional & convenient. It is definitely serves the purpose to have an overnight accommodation. But if you expect other things, you may be disappointed

My feelings about this hotel are quite mixed. There are definitely pros and cons.

The staff were nice enough and the place was clean. It is very close to Hyde Park (big bonus for pleasant walks). A 20 minute walk from Paddington train station and a few minutes from the tube or buses. The room was quiet too.

The room we stayed in was a double but it was really compact. I am short in height and I could still touch the ceiling (which gave me the unfortunate feeling of being in a cabin in a ship). One of the lights in the bathroom didn't work (so having a bath with the smaller light, wasn't an option). There was hardly any space for our clothes or to put things away as the tiny wardrobe already had quite a bit of stuff in it. There was so little space that we found the tea making equipment shoved in a drawer. When we got it out, it took up quite a bit of the little space we already had (when we finally managed to get the kettle to reach the wall socket).

The freaky thing was that the windows were dirty... every once in a while water would pour down it as if someone's shower or toilet over flow was flowing over our window.

I am not fussy about showers as our shower at home isn't amazing, but the pressure in our shower was really low, so I just had baths instead. That was disappointing.

I did leave feedback after the stay and emailed the hotel after the stay and would have been much happier if I'd heard back from someone after I'd shared my feedback.
