Our room was clean, but very small, with a tiny bathroom consisting of a shower stall, sink and toilet. The hotel is quiet at night and air-conditioned. The location is only 2 or 3 blocks from the tube station, and there is a nice pub across the street and several small shops nearby to buy small items. Hyde Park is... more

The staff were helpful and friendly and the hotel was very clean. We would stay here again although our room was rather small and there was nowhere to put our suitcase. It was very warm during our stay so the air conditioning in our room was very welcome. The breakfast was adequate and you could easily fill up ready for... more

I think its not fair that you keep comments prior to reforms made at the hotel, it was - actually - simply perfect and if you noticed it any critic after those reforms are positive!! I didn't try the breakfast because I had enough in the morning with coffe facilities in my bedroom, and I had a compact single, so... more

my partner and I are regular visitors to London usually on leisure trips so have stayed in many hotels. We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived in the area, very upmarket and quiet and close to all places of interest. The receptionist was polite and gave us the keys to our room. Everything looked clean, tidy and as expected. When... more

The rooms are indeed small, but when in London you should not be spending much waking time in a hotel room anyway. Everything was clean and comfortable, and the air conditioner worked wonders during the recent heat wave. The location is excellent; only a two minute walk from Lancaster Gate tube, and about five minutes from Paddington. more

I arrived in London with my sister and teenage son all set to stay at a neighboring hotel. Upon arrival to our planned hotel, we were informed they didn't have our reservation. I went into panic mode, as London was very busy it w-as Wimbledon finals week. I went to the Elysee, and they were able to squeeze us in.... more

Yes, our room (no45) was really small. But if you're not claustrophic and not in for a long stay, this hotel is perfect! Our room was very well equiped for it's price range, comfortable and clean. The breakfast was ok, the location was great and the staff was friendly. Do visit pub the Mitre accross the street :) more

We stayed here in May 2009 and it was a good experience. As previous reviews have said, this is in an EXCELLENT location - 2 minutes from the Underground - Central line, 2 minutes from Hyde Park, and on the same street as some excellent pubs and cafes. It is around the corner from a pharmacy, and is about a... more
