Finding London Hotels at realistic prices is always difficult, so the Travelzoo January offer at £89 per room incl breakfast was too good to ignore.

The upgraded room was a good size [unusual in London] but the view was dismal from small windows that we couldn't open. We looked at a Park View alternative, but the window was small and the room not as good, so we stuck with our original.

It took a long time to fathom the heating /air con controls, but we eventually got them to an acceptable copmpromise.

The interior is quite smart. One concierge in particular was very helpful, and the only significant shortcoming was breakfast. One of the waiting staff was in dire need of training, and the hot food was left out too long and eggs were a little rubbery. Not enough to make a fuss, but a little disappointing.

The location is close to the buses and tube [ central line] so quite convenient for shops and attractions.

We would have no problem at going back at that sort of price.

My husband and I started staying at this hotel in 1999, after having Russell Square as our headquarters on trips for a number of years. This was a British Airways choice at the time and we decided to try it because of its close proximity to Paddington and Lancaster Gate tubes and it is directly across from the lovely setting of Hyde Park. It was a good experience and we returned several times over the years. The last two trips I have had to make on my own, and there was no doubt I would choose the Corus. The staff has always been very pleasant and helpful for whatever need. Breakfast, which used to be either continental or full English is now just a full English. It is offers a wide and ample variety and is very tasty. Needless to say, the rooms are very clean and comfortable. It is a great choice.

I stayed with my partner in January, very clean room, great location opposite Hyde Park, very close to Paddington and Oxford Street. Underground station just around the corner. Had a very good bar meal, the breakfast that was included in our rate was excellent.

I found the staff to be very pleasant and friendly. This is a great place to stay for a short city break. I will stay again, for sure.

The hotel is in a great location very close to Lancaster Gate tube station & Hyde Park entrance. We were on a travelzoo deal which was great value for a London hotel. Public areas very attractive and well kept. Room was an upgrade and was perfectly adequate with tea, coffee, trouser press, iron & board, and was clean. Breakfast was delicious, with the best bacon I have ever had in a hotel. Ate early evening meal in olio restaurant, the Malaysian menu was delicious and reasonably priced. Free wifi was an added bonus, why do other hotels rip you off? One word of warning Don't mess with the air conditioning controls, we tried to increase the temperature on the coldest night of the year only to return to the room at midnight to discover it had been blowing cold air all night, we tried every possible combination but could not get any heat so went to bed with socks, gloves etc, good job we weren't on a romantic holiday. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel
