Stayed for 5 nites with my 4 yo. Hotel just reopened after major refurbishment so everything was spanking new & clean! Comfy bed, good sized bathroom (with Grohe fixtures!), tea/coffee making facilities (great if yr child still drinks milk), LCD TV, excellent location (5 mins walk to Queensway & Bayswater Tube Stations, 3 mins to bus stop with buses to... more

We have chosen the hotel due to its location. I do know that hotel rooms in major European cities are generally small but this was literally tiny, there was only place for a double bed. There was not even place to put our two-cabin size bags. Before making the reservation I phoned to the hotel and I was adviced to... more

This hotel only opened on 31st Oct 2009 so the reviews from before that do not apply. The location is excellent with many restaurants & shops on the surrounding streets. The building is beautiful and the staff were friendly. I booked a deluxe double through book travel and stay for £95 - a clear bargain for central London. Taking this... more

To be fair, the hotel has re-opened (unbeknown to us when booking was placed). To begin, we are in our second night of seven, but DO NOT BOOK FOR A GOOD FEW MONTHS!. The first impression was excellent, the eccentric and eclectic interior of the foyer shows so much of what would have been. BUT..... as we arrived right on... more

Two years ago my wife and I went to London for our honeymoon, and ended up at this hotel. It's located in Bayswater, close to Hyde park, so I find the location very good. The hotel itself however...not so good. The first day we didn't get into our room because of som problems with the key card, and the staff... more

Stayed one night in room 304 and was really impressed with the spotlessly tidy and comfortable room. The whole place has been recently refurbished and was like new.The room was on the front but no noise issues. It was everything i could have hoped for. The local Lo Spuntino Bar/Cafe on Bayswater road serves very nice food and amazing coffee.... more

First of all the hotel had lost our booking and gave us dirty looks like it was our fault even though we had paid in advance. The staff were rude and not at all helpful. Also their English was very limited which made communication difficult. We were put in a room at the back of the hotel and felt that... more

The first impact is great: the façade is amazing and the lobby and public areas around it are just beautiful. The rooms are very small (and by that I mean really really small!!!!) and the only view you get is to a wall, but they're comfortable and, let's face it, you don't go to London to spend much time in... more

I had searched for a few hours online and read numerous reviews about the broom closet sized rooms at various hotels in London. Reviewers had good things to say about the Shaftesbury Hyde Park and they were right. I booked a double room on the hotel website at 55 pounds per night including breakfast (for one night in February). I... more
