I stayed at the Corus Hyde Park for a couple of nights while on a business trip this September. I stayed in one of the "Executive" rooms which was on the 10th floor, having the luxury of Air Conditioning!!

Upon arrival, the check-in desk were reasonably efficient with two people serving customers. However, there were two people behind the desk doing other jobs, and I felt that during a busy period they could have helped to get the queue down a bit.

Once checked in, I was greeted by a modern room which was of a reasonable size. The decor was typical of a newer style hotel, but nothing exceptional. The room had both a shower and bath, a small desk and a TV with a small selection of channels. As an executive room I would have expected to see a Minibar and something better than nescafe to make coffee with. Free wifi would have also been a nice extra to have.

Checkout was again slow, and the staff were not as polite or engaging with customers compared with other hotels I have experienced. I would rate the customer service in this hotel as below average overall.

For the price of the "Executive" room I was very disappointed with the overall package, I have seen so much better in other hotels at equal or lesser price. Given that I stayed in a room that is supposed to be better than the majority of rooms in the hotel, I would not rate this above a Travelodge, and avoid in the future as there are many better hotels around for the money.

Went to London for a business trip, scoured the hotels on website and this one seemed okay and near the place I was going.
Easily accessible from the tube station and good location overlooking Hyde Park, overall first impression was hey, Ive picked a good one here. Bright and spacious inside and very clean and welcoming. Imagine our delight being told we had been automatically upgraded, what a result! Expecting a nice room to go with the nice hotel, we were directed downstairs to the ground floor level, our room was overlooking a side street and passers by going past our window, not nice!
To add insult to injury the room was obviously intended for little people, my husband and I, being strapping six footers were not far from headbutting the overhead air con, it was a very small room with little space to manoevre in. the bathroom was of course tiny, and very awkward to shower in. If this was an upgrade I would hate to see the one below it!
The bar however was nice, run by east europeans, no surprizes there! The resturant was excellent and the full english absolutely magnificent.

We have used this hotel before and went back, so this is the first good point. The rooms are small and we certainly would not advise staying there for more than a couple of nights. There is no draw space at-all and little hanging space, so you do end up living out of your suitcase. We did not find this any problem for the single night we were there.

The room is clean and the tiny bathroom is clean also. The staff are friendly, and while the breakfast was not like home cooking it was plentyfull and totally self service except for the coffee. The meals in the bar area are really best avoided and the pub next door has a good menu and is reccomended.

The position of the hotel is a big selling point - an easy walk to the Tube and right on the park that we walked across to get to Buckingham Pallace, (due to a Tube strike)

As long as you don't need masses of room and won't spend a lot of time in your room this is an ideal hotel in London for short stays

this hotel was ok - not worth the money it was sooooo HOT no air con at all, unbearable at night !! rooms were nothing like the pics i saw online...old fashioned decor but clean.
