Booked this through Superbreaks at very short notice - two hundred pounds for two people for three nights. The hotel itself did not inspire confidence as my companion and I approached it, since half of it is currently covered in scaffolding - once you get into the lobby, though, it looks a lot better! Our room was on the ground... more

We stayed 8 nights at the Averard. We needed to travel frugally, and the cost of the Averard was perfect for our budget. After reading all the reviews, we were apprehensive; however, the hotel provided far more than we expected from the reviews: The location is excellent! We found the staff for the most part very helpful and alwasys nice,... more

The rooms and facilities were much larger than those in other similarly-priced London hotels, although the water pressure was sorely lacking and there was an overall neglected look (chipped paint, ripped wallpaper, duct-taped carpeting on the stairs). They also somehow lost my reservation, although were able to come up with a room and then change me to another room the... more

Having read the other reviews I must say the location is a must but the hotel does need some TLC but otherwise my stay was ok and the breakfast was of good value even though not a full one it was enough! Bedding and towels clean and liked the old character feel to the room and reception etc. Best of... more

I have stayed here twice, mainly because of the price (60/63£ for a double) and the location. The hotel would have been great if they took better care of it. I was first given a room with a bath which looked awful and the shower-head didn't work, so we were given another room. It was much better, large with a... more

I booked through londonrooms.com. The hotel was run down and although clean bedding and bathroom it could have done with a general tidy up such as marks and tears in the wallpaper, carpet etc. We were in 2 ground floor rooms, one near reception was OK and our teenage kids were OK but we were in a room right at... more

We booked through London Rooms and had a good deal at £65 (I think, or even £60) for a double room. The hotel looks pretty discouraging from the outside, especially from the back,but as it is presently covered in scaffolding, I suppose that they are going to paint it, which it urgently needs. Once inside, the reception area rooms are... more

I rang to book a room directly with the Hotel (£50) which was good value given the location. The lady who took the call (Trish) was very polite and friendly. When I turned up at the hotel, i didnt expect a red carpet but atleast a smile rather than a grunt from the receptionist (Not Trish!) which it appeared I... more

I have booked through londonrooms.com and everything went ok. Good aspects - really close to Hyde Park and lancaster tube station. I have paid 60 pounds per night, which I think it is worth. The room is not small, the bathroom is quite nice, they even provide soap and shampoo. Clean room with new towells every day. Nice guy at... more
