Trip Type: Family Review 4 of 14Great Location, Great Price
After reading through hundreds of feedback on several hotels, we took a chance on this hotel and were VERY glad we did! It was clean and the location was PERFECT. There is an excellent breakfast/sandwich shop nearby, 2 tube stations (1 blk for the Green/Yellow line and 2 blks for the red line). Hyde Park was only a block away - everything was very convenient and the hotel staff was very helpful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Trip Type: Not Provided Review 6 of 14A Good Value
From other reviews of this hotel, it was exactly as I expected. Yes, the room was small, but it was plenty of room for me (I had the single room). I could keep my suitcase on the stand out of the way at the end of the bed, the wardrobe was plenty big enough, with three shelves, the bathroom had plenty of room with space for my toiletries, the shower was perfect. Yes, I could hear hotel noise in my room, as it was right behind the front desk, which did not have carpeting, so I could hear the attendant walking, and doors opening and closing, and the room was across the hall from the Club Room and a staff closet. Altough I couldn't recommend this room, I would stay in it again as I live in an apartment building that can get noisy, so I felt right at home. I even enjoyed hearing the train run underground. I never heard any noise from the room next to me, though, so that makes me think that the rooms farther back would be quieter, so I would recommend the hotel in general.

Trip Type: Family Review 7 of 14Great Neighborhood in London
This hotel is located in a great multi-cultural neighborhood. The hotel staff was very receptive to requests for service and able to provide useful information. The hotel is located within a city block of both the Queensway and Bayswater tube stations. The neighborhood restaurants are plentiful and of every ethnic type you might imagine (Italian, Greek, Persian, Chinese, French). We would enjoy staying at this hotel again, in the near future.

Trip Type: Not Provided Review 8 of 14Amazing!
The location of the hotel is amazing and cannot be beat. Located in a quiet residential neighborhood only a block and a half from Hyde Park/Kennsington Gardens and a block from the Tube, you are always close to wherever you want to go. The service was very good and the room was apportioned very well with coving and woodwork which added to the elegant furnishings. Although the room was small, as almost all hotel rooms in Europe are, it was very comfortable and I will definately stay there again.

Trip Type: Business Review 9 of 14Bad service, dirty room, poor service, great location
I didn't think it was possible to have such a small hotel room. I could touch the two side walls! Honestly, I bet the room was 5' X 8'. I couldn't even walk through the door with my luggage. The furnishings were nice but the room was not cleaned very well. The hotel service was poor. I almost missed a flight because they failed to give me the wake-up call that I requested. But...it was a great location near Hyde Park, easy tube access, a lot of shops and restaurants nearby.

Very shabby outside, unknowledgeable staff offered to get car service to Paddington but questioning revealed to be 2x taxi fare

Trip Type: Overnight Stay Review 11 of 14Great hotel, gret location
Very comfortable hotel. One block away from stations for the Circle, District and Central lines. I recommend an Oyster Card for ease of travel around the city. Lots of places to eat near by.

Trip Type: With Friends Review 13 of 14THE STAY
The hotel is located and a great spot just a block away from the tube stations. There were many restaurants just one block away. The hotel itself was very neat and clean. The room was very well updated with everything you need or want. Just ask the front desk for power adaptors and they are more than willing to loan them out. We will be staying there.

Trip Type: With Friends Review 14 of 14Nice Hotel, Great Location
We stayed at the Shaftesbury Hyde Park International for 9 days. We stayed in a Twin Deluxe which was very nice with plenty of space for 2. It is in a great location just a block away from Hyde Park and steps away from the Bayswater Tube station. Which is good and bad. The good is obvious, the tube is close by. The bad is that the tube runs right under the hotel so you can hear it. For us it didn't matter we can sleep with noise, but light sleepers might have trouble. The hotel staff were all very nice, but most did not speak the best English and so communication was difficult at times. Another downside is the hotel charges you for all phone calls made from the room even if they are local and you use a calling card. Another plus was on the next street over there were loads of restaurants and shopping places. I would happily stay in this hotel again, it was very nice.
