Excellent room, very large with great views across hyde park and london and a very comfortable bed. the restaurant was very good too with very good service and great food. When I stayed there was a shiksa tent on the roof complete with hookah pipes and splendid baklava and apple tea. would definitely stay again. more

Warmly welcomed by courteous and very helpful staff which continued throughout my stay. The Island Restaurant was excellent. My friend had the fish and chips (highly recommended) and I had lamb which was cooked to perfection. I thoroughly recommend both the hotel and the Island Restaurant. more

We stayed at the Royal Lancaster for five days for a business/pleasure trip. The hotel has a very diverse clientele, with people from around the world. It has a nice location- next to Hyde Park and it is very convenient to three tube stations- but it is still out of the way. Check-in was a very confused process. There was... more

Location is the best for business & private traveller, just 5 minutes from Paddington station easy access from/to Heathrow. Well balanced between price and quality. The personnel at the hotel is well trained and kind. No Hot Spot service available yet. Quite suitable for business traveller who does not have enough time to spend his time at the hotel. more

We stayed a total of 4 nights in two twin rooms. The rooms were a good size, comfortable and clean, with air conditioning. The staff was competent and helpful. The location is very good, close to Paddington Station and the park, in a good neighbourhood. Great views over London from the upper floors. The Island restaurant serves fine food. The... more

I'm a regular business traveler to London and The Royal Lancaster is included in my company's list. I highly recommend this hotel - it's very comfortable, very clean, is excellently located right beside Hyde Park. My biggest positive is the staff and great service I consistently receive. Breakfast, to me the most important hotel catering service for the business traveller,... more
