First room was quite noisy, was able to change rooms to a much quiter location. Breakfast was varied and filling. Location is great, multiple restaurants and few minutes to Bayswater tube stop.

Hotel accomodation OK and as expected. However, we chose the hotel partly because it had a bar. Upon arrival we were informed the bar opens at 4pm each afternoon and stays open until late. Thus we headed in to London and returned for 8pm to chill and have a few drinks in the bar. Upon return, we were informed the management had decided not to open the bar for reasons unknown.We were then promised bar would be open the next night. Similar story the next day with bar shut again! Very very disappointing and not at the satisfaction level I have come go expect from Expedia. Please could you look in to this on our be half?

We had a great stay! The room was always clean and the staff was super helpful and friendly. My only complaint is that the breakfast is a bit simple with no hot food. We had a fantastic stay otherwise! I also like how close you are to different tube stations and the neighborhood is so charming.

Small, cosy room on the lower ground floor. The double bed is a small double bed. Reception and bar staff were professional and friendly and everything was spotless. Great location too.

I can’t believe how uncomfortable my stay was. It was 5 degrees outside in November, yet my room felt like it was in the middle of summer. And the worst part? There was no actual thermostat. Just an old, outdated control unit that didn’t do anything. Huge red flag. I tried everything, opening the windows, fiddling with the old panel— but the room stayed insanely hot. Sleeping was nearly impossible. This was a really disappointing experience, and until they update their HVAC system so guests can control their own room temperature, I definitely won’t be back.
