Hotel review

Service: I cannot fault the service. All employees were extremely respectful, polite and happy to help. Front of house when checking in were extremely lovely to deal with. They upgraded our rooms and provided adjoining rooms. Rooms: rooms were modern, clean and had the essentials for a trip to London. They were on the smaller side however this isn’t a make or break given the coziness. The bedsheets and bed were 10/10. The comfiest bed and the softest sheets I have experienced in a hotel. The bathrooms were so fluffy and soft, a pleasure to put on. The shower was stand alone which was nice. Location: I was only in the hotel for 1 night due to a family member being admitted to st Mary’s hospital on our trip. I personally wouldn’t find the location great but for a 5 star, exceptional attentive service, super clean, modern and comfy hotel I could overlook location. I would recommend.

A Decade of Unforgettable Memories - Thank you

Ten years ago, I visited Royal Lancaster London (then Lancaster London) with my girlfriend—now my wife. It was my first time in London, and I was filled with excitement. Arriving early in the morning, we simply asked to store our luggage, but the incredibly kind staff surprised us with an early check-in. This thoughtful gesture allowed me to freshen up before starting my London adventure. That visit was even more special as I had planned to propose. I shared my plans with the hotel, and they went above and beyond, decorating our room for the occasion. Their hospitality left a lasting impression. A decade later, now living in London for years, we returned to celebrate our proposal anniversary—with our 3-year-old son and another baby on the way. Once again, Royal Lancaster exceeded expectations. They not only decorated our room beautifully but also arranged for us to have the same breathtaking view as 10 years ago. They even provided extra cushions for my wife’s comfort and special amenities for our little one. The most touching part? A surprise experience that made our stay truly unforgettable—something I’ll keep secret so future guests can enjoy their own magical moments. A heartfelt thank you to the exceptional staff for their kindness and professionalism. Royal Lancaster London isn’t just a hotel—it’s a place where memories are made. We will definitely return again!

Whilst a triple was booked the room wa snot prepared for it, we called and asked for it to be made whilst at dinner, arrived back and had to call a second time for it be made up, not ideal and certainly not what I’d expected for the cost and reputation of the hotel.

Absolutely loved and enjoyed my stay. The property was nicely maintained and easy to navigate. The location is perfect, in a quiet neighborhood but close enough to the city and accessibility to public transportation was a plus! The service I received was unmatched. Each staff member I interacted with was helpful, knowledgeable in their field and very kind. Would recommend anyone to stay at this property.

Fantastic stay - beautiful Park Suite with wonderful views of Hyde Park. Close to Lancaster Gate tube station as well, making it extremely convenient to get around London. Gym is a great addition also, including a Peleton and Technogym treadmills! We will be returning in the future. Staff are incredibly friendly and will assist in any way they can with your needs! Thank you to the Royal Lancaster Hotel team!
