Location - The location of Phoenix is great. While we got around the city by Tour Bus and Cabs, the Queensway, which is just around the block is a great late evening shopping location. Kensington Palace, Portbello Road, Hyde Park are all within walking distance. Rooms - The hotel is an aggregation of double storied buildings, which have rooms laid... more

I stayed here for 8 nights in early October, I had a single room on the 3rd floor facing the street. The hotel is nice, quaint could be used very easily. Starting off from the moment I got there things went well. The front desk checked me in, gave me my room key (an actual key, not a card) and... more

The bed was comfortable enough, the breakfast was very good... more

Stayed for 3 nights in December 2006, very small room, very old and squeaky bed. Nothing special about this hotel but good location and very good and stylish bar! Next time would spend 5 pounds more and stay in more comfortable/clean Ibis. more

I chose this hotel mainly because the reviews were so consistent- This hotel is very conveniently located in Bayswater, near two subway lines and lots of shops and places to eat. (Avoid the nearby Pizza Hut, it's dreadful.) The staff was very helpful and the rooms were adequate. NOTE - if it is hot, you will suffer as the rooms... more

I checked out a variety of hotels through Trip Advisor and eventually chose this one because a review said it was a safe area. The price was not out of the way either. When I arrived I noticed the hotel's reception was clean and the decor a bit dated. The staff were pleasant...some reviews had mentioned unfriendly and I can... more
