Self Catering Apartment Royal Court - London

8.5

Our length of stay was 3 weeks.The accomodation provided all we were looking for -clean, quiet and cooking facilities. There was some trouble with the heating but the hotel staff were very helpful and we were not cold at any time. Value for money.

8.8

I had a refurbished studio apartment on the top floor. It was clean and spacious, and I appreciated that the porter brought my luggage up, as there is no lift above the 4th floor. The building is undergoing a slow renovation, and when it is completed this will be a lovely place to stay - I definitely would book here again. The location is ideal for getting around London, Hyde Park & Kensington Gardens is practically outside your door, the staff is friendly and helpful. The only thing I had a small problem with is that wireless internet is ONLY available on the first floor in the Lounge. They do need to have it available throughout the building! But it's a minor quibble, and I just brought my Netbook downstairs when I returned in the evening to do what I needed to online - and actually got to chat with several guests in the meantime (which led to me seeing "Sister Act" on the West End). It's great having the kitchenette as well - I bought some simple breakfast items, saving me from having to go out in the morning and spend more money on breakfast, and allowing me to keep a supply of Diet Coke on hand!

7.6

Second time for me. Staff great, very responsive. Rooms what I expected. It was clean. Only downside could hear the people next door. Would stay there again. Convenient to Paddington station and two tube stops. Kensington Park just down the road.

8.0

If you were to stay in London for a few nights, then this would be the place to do it. A small studio is sufficient for the basics, a full apartment would be preferable for a longer stay, just to have a better equipped kitchen if needed. Very well located at a good price, rooms are spacious enough, with decent facilities, especially for inner city. Tube stations are around the corner, or there is plenty of things within walking distance if you prefer. plenty of Cafes a short stroll away, and Indian restaurants also. If I return to London, this is the place I will stay.

7.6

I stayed 3 days in London and just met reception people.

8.4

It was a good choice overall, apartment was cleaned daily, hotel is close to tube and therefore easy to get anywhere in London. Ours was an upgraded apartment, have not seen a not-yet refurbished room. Internet only in lobby area, disconnecting quite easily. We recommend the place.

9.1

The staff took the time to treat me very well. Great customer service.

9.1

Good location, good local facilities, pleasant helpful staff - one faulty piece of kitchen equipment quickly fixed.

8.0

We stayed in a newly refurbished room, very spacious. Kitchen was well designed, separated from the bedroom and equiped with fume hood to avoid odors in the bedroom. We found regrettable that there was only 2 sets of kitchenware

7.9

I stayed at the hotel for 10 nights at the room number 118 which is not yet renovated. I had wifi access in my room. The size of the room is good. It could be better if there is a place to store my luggage. The bathroom is ok, not too small and quite clean. I had known about the scaffolding before, so it didn't bother me. Having a pantry is very useful, could safe a lot of money on food. Generally, I had a pleasant stay and will recommend it to everyone. The location is great, I walked from Paddington station with my luggage, not a problem at all.

5.0

We were 3 adults sharing a 1 bedroom apartment. The apartment bore absolutely no resemblance to the photos on venere.com. It was very shabby and extremely old. The bathroom was held together by "no-more-gaps" adhesive. When I questioned the manager I was told that renovated apartments had to be booked direct with the hotel and were not available when using an internet booking site! The photos on the net were definitely of the renovated apartments. Do not be deceived! This was false advertising. However, the aparment was clean.

9.3

Stayed 4 nights. Very friendly and helpful staff indeed! It´s not easy to find a place in London for selfcatering. I really recommend RCA to persons who for some reasons have difficulty eating all meals out in hotel restuarants and other places. Makes your mornings and evenings more calm.

9.3

Wonderful staff. Calm surroundings with small restaurants and the underground and busses around the corner. This is a little pearl (in a nice and simple manner) that's not trying to be anything else. Love it.

8.5

Don't expect posh but the place is clean and safe and in a superb location, minutes from Lancaster Gate tube and Paddington Station/tube.Staff are very friendly and competent. Good selection of up-to-date leaflets and brochures.

7.1

Beutiful hotel, most of the staff was very kind except two ladies. We stayed for 1 month to study in a medical school and we hadn't problems for the first two weeks. The cleaning wasn't perfect but everything was great. Then our heathers got broken and we had to stay for 10 days without them (and in March was cold). Only after 10 days they gave us another heather to replace the others.

5.0

Room 102 had an awful odor. Decor was non-existent, but functional. Street noise was very loud, plus people yelling and screaming on Saturday night. There was an big blob of something disgusting on the window. Good location and price.

8.4

Proche de deux stations de métro et de Hyde Park, je peux recommander cet hôtel. Un restaurant indien tout proche mérite le détour.

9.1

we was a travelgroup of 6 girls, for sightseeing and shopping in london from Germany.The hotel was very neer to the stations paddington (the way from hethrow airport)an lancaster gate the way to the city.Hyde park was 3 min far a way.The room was very clean.It was the best hotel for us in london.We would come back.Thank you

9.7

Very pleased with the accommodation, only problem was an extremely stained sofa cover which we had to cover with a towel.

9.9

We remained 2 nights in a double study with two twin beds just refurbished and it surpassed our expectations completely... and in spite of they were refurbishing another near room it bothered never us at all... by the way the personnel of the hotel was correct and very kind at any moment... In addition the hotel is very well located close to Paddinton Station and the tube and buses about Lancaster Gate… Therefore all that we could say about this hotel is good.

8.7

We have had a wonderfull time. The staff was very helpfull and friendly. The room and bathroom were very old and in need of renovation but clean and roomy enough. It was only very warm and we could not turn down the heating.If we come to London again we will certainly think about Royal Court again.

8.7

We had a studio for 2 persons and a one-bedroom apartment. The studio had just been renovated and was perfect. The apartment had not been renovated although it was badly in need of a renovation. There was a problem with the bathroom pipes and a lingering faul smell. The four of us ended up eating in the studio which was much more pleasant. The location of the Royal Court is great. It is easy to walk to many interesting sites and public transportation is very near. Overall, we were very pleased with our stay.

0.8

this is a very oldest establishment in much need of refurbishment. It tatty, shabby and antiquated. Standard of self catering accommodation which we had was very poor and the incessant noise outhead made our stay very uncomfortable. It has only 2 advantages, it's convenient to tube station and the staff. If some money was put into this premises, it could be good. I also feel that web sites should be more familiar with their properties and more up to date on their reviews. This property would be more suitable to hostel or student accommodation not that they should have the very basics available to them.

9.9

See prior review from prior stay.

8.6

I have stayed here before and I will stay here again. The rooms are quite worn down and there is a distinct smell in the bathroom, but the beds were excellent and there was plenty of hot water. Loved the kitchen! It is in an excellent location - very central. You get what you pay for in Lodndon. Bring ear plugs!

9.6

This place is just an excellent value for the money. Had two separate one-night stays - first stay we got to room and thought it was just a small bedroom with bath, then we opened up another door to a large kitchen/living room area - would describe room as "tired," but quite comfortable and great value - second stay was a recently upgraded room - very nicely and tastefully done, though a little fine-tuning needed. Wifi worked great (they gladly reset modem when I was having some trouble). Very helpful with directions we asked for to market area in London. Very short walk to Paddington, so convenient to Heathrow Express (use Heathrow Connect - 12 minutes longer, but 60% cheaper) - even shorter walk to Lancaster Gate Tube station on Central Line) - area seemed quite safe.

8.8

Royal Court Apt. has an excellent location, very close to 2 tube stations, bus stations, Kensington Gardens&Hyde Park. The neibourhood is very quiet and safe, we returned several times after 23:00 and everything was OK. The room wasn't very big but we had everything we needed: a small table with 2 chairs, a wardrobe, ironing facilities. The small kitchen was very well equiped and we had the pleasure to find that 2 days after our arrival all the glases, plates and cooking accesories were replaced with new ones. The bathroom was very big. Coffee, tea, sugar were completed daily; the cleaning and the replacement of towels was also made daily. The only minus is that the room and hall floors are squeaking badly...but after walking all day long we were so tired that it doesn't bother us too much.

6.9

Excellent location (halfway between Paddington Station and Lancaster Arch Underground). Lobby lounge area nicely re-done. Rooms and hallways need major work! Paint peeling off walls. Bathrooms EXTREMELY SMALL! Roll-away mattress was disgusting!

10

Perfecta calidad/precio, muy cerca del transporte público,metro/tren/bus!!Muy limpio,todos los electrod.han pasado una revision

7.8

Hotel tres bien situe, a deux pas de Hyde Park , des stations Bus et metro comme de la Gare Paddington.Studio avec Kitchnett bien equipee, chambre pas tres spacieuse mais confortable et propre.Personnel sympathique et competent.Tres bon rapport qualite-prix pour Londres.

6.8

Very convenient location to Paddington Stn and directions on website exact. Clean and true to info on website. Had great meals and atmosphere at nearby pub Pride of Paddington. Easy to get to hop on hop off bus tour. Small room but we are used to much larger in Aus. Probably standard for Europe. Would stay again.

7.4

A very good deal for this excellent location.

3.4

The room was very hot with no ventilation even with window open. Quite often we had to ask for towels as they were replaced with hand hand towels. They took our pillows & we had to ask to get them back. The room was not available at the specified time we had to wait an extra hour before we could get in.They did'nt always replace tea or coffee we had to buy our own.

3.9

The floors squeak very bad in the rooms. When you have someone in the room above late at night, good luck getting any sleep.

7.9

You get what you pay for in London. Room was spacious, but in need of updating. Public areas have been redone, and look very good. The rest is ongoing, and I imagine the prices will rise accordingly. Location was great - walk to Hyde Park, Oxford Street and very close to Paddington (nice if you have luggage). Lots of small shops and restaurants nearby.

8.9

The apartment was spacious enough for two little babies running around! All the employees were very friendly. Cristiano was great!!!

8.2

We had 2 very pleasant stays at the Royal Court Apartments. The location is very good - short walk to Paddington rail and tube, shops, pub, restaurants and Hyde Park. The staff are friendly and helpful and the rooms are cheap and clean. This is no 4 star hotel though - the furnishings are shabby and the room we had on our second stay was very small. However everything was clean and functional. Having a full kitchen also allows you to to save money on meals. I would recommend this hotel for singles or couples on short holidays who are looking for something economical in a good location.

8.6

Very good hotel (appartments, you have to make your breakfast yourself and ther are grocers at 100 m). Personal very accomodating. Large room. I'll return to this address next time. Très bon hôtel (système appartements). Vous devez faire le petit-déj. vous-même, mais magasins à 100 m. Personnel très accueillant. J'y retournerai !

9.6

We had 2 rooms nr 204 and 203, one facing the other. Ours 203 was composed by a triple room, a kitchenette with dining area and a small bathroom (but it was nice). My parents' was composed by a double room, a bathroom and kitchenette with sitting area. We would eat all together in their apartment because the table was larger. The apartments-room were clean and comfortable as well as quiet. We recommend it and will surely return to Royal Court Apartments.

9.8

My partner and I were very happy with the apartment. The staff were friendly and very helpful from the minute we walked through the door to the minute we checked out. The apartment was nice and roomy and everything worked in it. The location is excellent, being only about a minute's walk from Lancaster Gate tube station and Hyde Park/ Kensington Gardens. There are pubs and restaurants nearby and it is only a short walk to all the restaurants of Queensway if you fancy a wider selection. We would certainly try to stay here again on our next trip to London.

DEVO RICONOSCERE CHE NON PENSAVO DI TROVARE UN BUON HOTEL A QUEL PREZZO..............CI TORNERò...........

8.1

My family and I found this hotel very nice and overall it is good for family with children. Hotel's location is very good, infact underground is very near and then we found nearby restaurants and supermarket. In total our trip has been very lovely. We suggest this accomodation for quality and price, we'll return asap.

6.7

There are a strange smell on the towel provided. The location is excellent -- near to the underground station.

8.5

el hotel está muy bien, bien situado, con todo lo que necesitas en los apartamentos, tienes servicio de habitaciones. Fuimos 12 y toda la familia estubo muy contenta de las habitaciones. lo recomiendo. el precio buenopara ser londres

8.5

The hotel was great but there was no parking. Besides, an employee was speaking french.

7.3

An excellent budget venue. For such a position the cost for a one bed apartment for 2 nights (£138) that slept 3 could not be faulted. The residence is being modernised and the apartment we had was very tired so it is long overdue but the location was good, kitchen well equipped for a short stay and the staff also helpful and pleasant.

7.9

Très bon séjour en général. Mais l'une d'entre nous a vu sa carte de crédit clonée et il y a de fortes chances que ce soit arrivé à l'hôtel. Dû à cela, nous ne savons pas si nous y retournerions.

8.0

eravamo 4 ragazze di 22 anni e ci siamo trovate benissimo, era accolgiente come una casa ma con la comodità delle pulizie in camera!La posizione non è centrale e x raggiungere il centro bisogna utilizzare necessariamente i mezzi. Per arrivare a Picadilly a piedi ci vuole circa un'ora...non ve lo consiglio!!La metro (lancaster gate) e la fermata del bus si trovano a neanche 5 minuti, così come un piccolo alimentari, molto poco fornito e hide park. Le stanze sono piccole e rumorose ma accoglienti e pulite. abbiamo alloggiato in 2 doppie; la mia era molto spaziosa, bagno compreso, ma l'altra era veramente molto piccola e il bagno praticamente inesistente...non potevano chiudere la porta perchè altrimenti, sedute, non avevano spazio per le gambe!!Il rapporto qualità prezzo è molto buono. è la terza volta che vado a londra e la prima al royal court e tornerò sicuramente. La reception è disponibile e tollerante. Praticamente il royal court ap. è un'albergo con la comodità della cucina in camera. Non preoccupatevi della posizione perchè è ottimamente collegata 24 h su 24.

7.4

Room was tired but cleaned efficiently every day, bathroom small but clean.

6.7

Siamo stati (io e mio marito) in questo hotel dal 16 al 21 ottobre 2007. lo abbiamo trovato molto carino, pulito e la cucina abbastanza attrezzata(poche pentole ma microonde, caraffa termica e persino il tostapane). la pulizia e il cambio degli asciugami quotidiana. Unico neo la reception che non parlava una parola di italiano (come del resto in quasi tutta londra). Posizione ottima, vicinissimo a kensiton garen e hyde park, alla metropolitana di lanchester gate e alle numerose fermate di autobus di paddigton. Noi consigieremo questo hotel per il prezzo e per la possibilità di usufruire di una cucina che visti i prezzi dei ristoranti di londra permette di risparmiare un bel pò sul cibo magari soprattutto per la cena.

10

It was the second time I stayed in this hotel and it was as good as the last trip. I stayed in a few London Hotels but now I´ve found the one where I will stay in the future.

7.8

The hotel was by far the most reasonably priced we could find for a family of five adults. The kitchen was great to have, although we didn't have time to use it much. We had two apartments, one of which was quaint and well-worn but adequate; the other was newly-decorated and quite lovely. The hotel staff was very helpful. The only difficulty we experienced was in the new room: the adjoining neighbour's tv was very loud, and he had it on until about 2:00 am.

5.4

As we were on the 1st floor and there was only one window we didn't have any natural light. That 's regretable for an apartement we took to spend some time during the day ...

7.4

Good value, but the halls and carpet in room were rather shabby. Basically a long term student residence, but OK for a convenient and reasonably priced place as a base in London.

7.6

The room is samll, but it is clean and the staff is very supportive and educated. Walking distance to the undeground. Good pricing. Very good choice.

9.1

Excellent hotel (we had a 2 Bedroom/1 Bath)and very friendly staff. The map on Venere is wrong so we walked around for 45 minutes before we finally called the hotel and they gave us directions very quickly to the hotel. (We had asked several people in the area and they had no idea where the hotel or the street was). It turned out to be very close to Paddington Station and easy to find once you knew where to look. The man at the desk was very apologetic and took the map I had printed and said he would take care of it. Our room was on the 5th floor and the elevators only go to the 4th floor. Room was not air conditioned but we were there in late June and it was not a problem. It is in a more residential area but easy to get around from here--very close to 2 subway stations and many bus stops. We checked out early and they kept our luggage while we toured London until we had to leave for the Heathrow. (The Heathrow express leaves from Paddington Station about 3-4 blocks away).

5.7

Apartment Royal Court was clean and in a good location, but the rooms reminded me of a trip I took to Britain in 1985--stained, old rugs, a hodge podge of furniture, and a disagreeable view.

9.4

The appartment with a separate bedroom was perfect for our stay with two young children. We asked for an extra bed in the living-room and the younger one slept on the couch. Perfect location with young children, very close to the park and the Memorial playground which they love.

7.5

The rooms were so tiny that we had to upgrade to a family suite. This was fine then when we did because the loungeroom was large although the bedrooms were still little larger than the beds! They kept to the prices quoted on the family suite via email enquiry of ours earlier - after we showed them the email. But the lifts didn't work most of the time! Maybe they are fixed now. Lots of stairs to climb but it was worth it to get a family suite.

9.2

This is going to be our favourite place, depending of course if the prices are favourable. My daughter and I were her to shop and we were very satisfied with our studioapartment. Of course it was worn down, but apart from that,everthing else was to our satisfaction. Cleaning was fine, and clean towels every day. Staff was also helpfull and polite. Location was also excellent with only 5 minutes walk to Lancaster Gate tubestation. Will absolutely prefer to stay here again.

8.5

friendly and welcoming personel.Everything made neat and clean at the apartment every day. Little kitchenette with refrigerator,so you can make your own breakfast or lunch. Grocers nearby, where you can by what you need. Suitable for couples with teenagechildren,because there were two rooms in the apartement. very close to the tube and busstop. Only 10 minuttes walk to Oxford Street. Very close to Hyde Park. Some noise from the street below. Overall, a hotel we surely will use next time we visit London for holidays,

7.4

This was the first time we had stayed at the Royal Court. We would stay there again because, although it is old and a bit tatty, it represented very good value for money. It was clean and staff were helpful. It is close to Paddington and Lancaster Gate railway stations, pubs, restaurants and cafes, a laundromat and convenience stores. Our only complaint: we realise now that the web photos of apartments and the reality of our 'apartment' did not coincide.

7.7

Wonderful location; excellent-sized studio esp. by British standards; appreciated the cooking facilities & small fridge; in the main lobby-liked the bookshelves to allow guests to take/leave pocketbooks (very thoughtful idea); sheets were clean but the blankets really needed washing Noise - the walls are very thin including overhead - needs much better insulation; also the hotel might consider taking the springs off the entrance doors to the rooms so they don't slam so loudly.

7.5

I had a nice stay at the hotel and would recommend it to my friends and family that would be visiting London. Very near to public transportaqtion, Hyde park, & supermarket at Paddington station. Would have been nicer to have a toaster oven in the kitchen to heat up some food items bought at Sainsburry's.

8.6

Everything perfect, The hotel it´s good lotated, and the price, simplily, it´s the best. The staff very kind and polite. The room was o.k.

1.1

The photos on the net bore no resemblance to the room in question. It was poky, noisy and unwelcoming. I lost 2 nights money becasue I had to get out and fast!

8.4

I've already spent my staying in London by RCA several times in the past -the last one on December 2006- together with different friends of mine. LON is my passion and RCA my second home ! I think to come back even next time ! ;D

6.6

I guess it was fine for the price. On arrival (2pm)we were informed we would be getting a twin room when we had booked a double. We said no and they got a double for us although we had to wait a further 40 mins. Room was fine except there was a fan (a hole) fitted into the window which was broken and always open to the outside air making the room a little fresh as it was winter. Otherwise fine and great great location for getting around London

7.1

Visti i commenti ho deciso di prenotare per 2 notti una matrimoniale. Arrivati la mattina presto mi hanno gentilmente fatto lasciare le valigie. Abbiamo trovano alla reception un ragazzo italiano che pero' ci avvertiva che la nostra camera aveva 2 letti separati, gli ho chiesto una matrimoniale e lui ci ha detto di tornare dopo le 2 che ci avrebbe sistemato bene. Al nostro ritorno non lo abbiamo trovato ed abbiamo parlato con una ragazza che ci ha sistemato pero' decisamente meno gentile del 'nostro amico italiano'. Camera molto spaziosa e pulita, silenziosa ma con un difetto essenziale: il pavimento era di fintoparque percio' si muoveva tutto e sentivamo tutto dalle altre stanze, fortunatamente non c'erano molte persone. Sconsigliatissimo mangiare li, le pentole/piatti/tazze sembravano li da anni e decisamente poco igieniche. NON fate colazione all'interno se non è compresa perche' Londra è piena di bar che fanno ottime colazioni e soprattutto la spesa di 4 sterline non ne vale per niente. La colazione infatti non è dentro l'albergo, si devo uscire e fare qualche metro per entrare in un altro albergo, colazione pessima. Vicino alla metro ed all'autobus. Consiglio di andare a mangiare dentro gli Harrods che è caro ma è un'esperienza simpatica ed originale. Per spendere meno si deve andare a mangiare dentro i pub (ce ne sono molto in centro dove si mangia benissimo), se entrate dentro i ristoranti del centro non aspettatevi di spendere meno di 60/70 sterline vino incluso. Servita benissimo con i bus,percio' secondo me a volte e meglio prendere il bus che la metro, meno veloce pero' cosi' vedete tutta Londra. Pochissimo traffico.

8.3

This accommodation is in many ways a good choice for those who want to stay within a budget. Very near both Paddington and Lancaster Gate underground, lots of small restaurants in the neighbourhood. The room (small 1 bedroom apartment) was a bit "tired" looking but otherwise ok. The only thing that I didn't like was the old smell of nicotine in the room. I wouldn't however hesitate to stay there again if I needed a comfortable room within my budget.

8.7

Very good exelent accommobation will stay next time in London

8.0

Hotel veramente carino e confortevole, peccato per gli ascensori che funzionavano solo ogni tanto e che le finestre si aprissero al massimo di 20 cm, e in agosto non si respirava con così poca aria. Ma nel complesso ci tornerei, anche perchè la location è fantastica e intorno c'è tutto ciò che serve. Inotre la piccola cucina ci ha consentito di risparmiare moltissimo sulle spese di vitto! Da provare

7.1

The hotel needs a total renovation, one day in the bathroom there was water in the roof from the upstairs room. It´s oldest.

8.6

My husband and I stayed at the Royal Court for 8 nights. We were looking for an inexpensive and convenient hotel to stay at in London for our honeymoon. The first 2 nights we had a small cramped room on the 2nd floor, but with full amenities as promised. We checked out to go to Paris and returned 3 days later and received a room on the ground floor. It had 2 twin beds and when I returned to the desk stating that I asked for a double bed, they quickly gave us another room with one bed. This one was easily 3 times the size as the room we had to begin with. The rooms were alway clean and you never heard any of the other guests, unless they were coming down the stairs with luggage and even though we seemed to be on a busy street, we barely heard any street noise. The staff were all very helpful and nice. We were literally 3 blocks away from the Paddington Underground station and less than that from restaurants, shops, and money exchange. We couldn't have asked for a more convenient location. We would stay at the Royal Court again if we have another chance to stay in London.

8.1

Royal Court is, in my opinion, a pleasant place were to spend some days in London. Near the hotel is located Hyde Park, a wonderful and romantic English garden, that make you live the beauty of Victorian Age.

6.8

In retrospect, it was a very good value for the money. Quite spacious by European standards and clean. We could hear street noise constantly and keeping the window open almost seemed to be a requirement or else it would become too stuffy and warm inside, there was no thermostat to adjust. Staff was efficient. Chose to use the stairs as the elevator was very small and felt unstable. Spent several days here and found it to be an ideal starting point for our daily explorations.

4.2

We were informed by venere that the accomodation had disabled access,my husband is in a wheelchair I phoned 4 wks in advance and the apartment staff confirmed this and I rang the day of travel and told that we would be allocated the most suitable room. There are 3 steps to the front door which were slippery due to the rain, there was no one to help us, there were 2 heavy doors to go through to the lounge, and there was a VERY narrow ramp to the bedrooms which was too narrow to take the wheelchair and my husband again had to get out,and I had to fold the wheelchair, there was no space at the top of the ramp to manovere the wheelchair around the corner either. You may wish to check out my report on our website www.amiinvisible.com We will be writing to the owner of the property to officially complain The apartments themselves were very basic, and made a travelodge look like a palace. Very disapointed indeed.

7.2

Hemos estado en 2 apartamentos de una habitación aceptablemente. Lo mejor de todo es la localización del hotel, al lado de la estación de Paddington. El personal del hotel ha sido, en general, amable y el tamaño y la limpieza de las habitaciones, correctos, mejor de lo que nos esperábamos. Resulta muy cómodo y económico disponer de cocina para desayunos y cenas cuando se viaja con adolescentes.

7.9

Great location and reasonable price for lengthier stay. We cooked in our room! The noise from the street was terrible! I think that it was supposed to be a temoporary thing though. Extra (third) bed was very uncomfortable!

7.2

Hemos realizado un viaje de 5 noches con mi familia compuesta por 5 personas. Estuvimos alojados en un apartamento de 2 habitaciones con capacidad para 4 personas más una cama adicional. Las instalaciones estaban de acuerdo a lo previsto y al precio pactado. La ubicación del hotel es excelente, a pocas calles de la estación de metro, muchas lineas de autobús y a metros de Kensigton Park.

7.6

Nice hotel to stay with kitchen in the room, but rooms are a little bit old fashioned!

9.1

A lovely place - the rooms are quite spacious and are equipped with kitchenettes, though mine was of declining quality (the refrigerator was not functioning fully). An added bonus - free WiFi, though only in public areas (when it worked). It's also much closer to Paddington Station than the map on here suggests - it's literally a 4min walk, so it's great for folks using Heathrow Express and good for immersing yourself in the Paddington/Bayswater area. If possible, request a room on the first floor or higher; those on the ground floor directly face onto a busy intersection and bear the wrath of the lighting so typical of Bayswater buildings (in other words, bright white lights highlighting the architecture and therefore shining directly in your face as you try to sleep). It probably won't be the favourite of many corporate travelers, as its low price ensures a predominance of younger people (though not the usual high-strung backpackers, thankfully). But it is good for all other travelers. All in all, it was my favourite place to stay in London. I've been there many times, always staying in Bayswater/Paddington, and this is by far the best accommodation I've had.

6.0

good value for money

6.6

We first arrived an hour before check in and weren't allowed in. When we got into the room, room was way too small for three adults and an infant, and extremely hot as no air-con. We asked to have a look at the bigger two bedroom apartments and this was a lot more spacious. Noisy from streets below. Floor boards were creaking everywhere which made difficult to put baby to sleep. Otherwise, service was ok, a little unfriendly at times, but always helpful. Elevator - dodgy is the one word we would use to describe it! Good location, a few shops and restaurants about, and close to Paddington station and tube. Hop on Hop Off bus leaves really close and is the best way to see the sights we think!

6.4

It was good value for money accomodation. Royal Court has an excellent location. The rooms are a bit noisy but the location is worth the slight discomfort. The staff is helpful.

7.6

Near Hyde Park and from transports, this hotel is well situated. But if you search for a silent and "dark" room, search another hotel to go. You can hear people talking outside even with windows closed. Even moonlights light the room when you intend to sleep.

9.4

Excellent location and transport facilities: 4 buses working 24 h. just at 100 mts. The hotel is being renewed but not all the rooms are already modified. We were not aware of it and we had first one unit with a disaster of kitchenette and a very small bath but after a couple of days we had the chance to change to another renewed room and there every thing was excellent. Taking this in consideration, we really recomend it !!!

8.9

Excellent value for money. Very good maid service, towels replaced regularly and room was clean and tidy.

Pregi: + Posizione eccellente, a 5 min di cammino dalla stazione della Central Line e dall'Hide Park + Camera davvero spaziosa (Camera letto un po' stretta, ma soggiorno con angolo cucina e bagno più ampi della media) + Angolo cottura fornito di microonde, stoviglie, inclusi the e caffè per la colazione + Buona pulizia approfondita delle camere + Prezzo eccellente!!! Difetti: - Stanze e ambienti sicuramente avrebbero bisogno di essere rimessi a posto (moquette e carta da parati disastrose, ambienti alquanto dissestati - il pavimento scricchiolante dev'essere lo stesso di 3 secoli fa...) - La parte in restauro (la reception) dà l'idea di essere entrati in un cantiere

L'albergo è centralissimo vicino alla fermata della metro e a Hyde Park. La possibilità di cucinare in camera consente di risparmiare molto sul mangiare. Se dovessi tornare a londra sicuramente alloggerei qui nuovamente.

Super rapport qualité prix. La chambre était d'aspect respectable, pratique et confortable.Ce n'est pas un 5 étoile, mais vous ne trouverez pas mieu a londres. C'est propre, un peu vieillot, mais tres correct. Tres bien situé, facile d'acces. En fait, vous avez le confort d'un appart avec les services d'un hotel, super. Nous allons y revenir lors de notre prochain voyage.

The room (102) facilitated us very well. Little bits that could've been improved, such as peeled wallpaper and the room was quite hot even though we turned off the heater. It would be nice if the room is refurbished. It does look old.

Per essere Londra questo è stato uno dei migliori alloggi per rapporto qualità/prezzo. Leggendo i giudizi c'eravamo già fatti un'opinione peggiore di quello che poi è stato. Se proprio c'è da dire qualche cosa, rispetto agli altri giudizi, effettivamente i termosifoni erano molto caldi e non si riuscivano a regolare. Le finestre poi non si potevano gestire bene per compensare l'estremo calore. Anche un ascensore effettivamente non funzionava bene, ma c'è n'era uno più grande accanto che non dava problemi. E' stato gradevole trovare del caffè liofilizzato con tanto di zucchero e latte per tutto il periodo. Per quanto riguarda la pulizia, gli asciugamani e le saponette, venivano cambiati quotidianamente. La moquette non era proprio il massimo della pulizia e sarebbe stato bello passarci almeno ogni secondo giorno, magari anche velocemente, l'aspirapolvere. Lo spazio era più che sufficiente con un salottino ed una cassaforte molto utile. A pochi passi ci sono i bus (utili per il centro e per Camden) ed il metrò oppure si può anche attraversare a piedi Hyde Park (che è sempre molto piacevole). Attenti ai prezzi dei biglietti dei trasporti e dei caffè, soprattutto da Harrod's. Attenti anche ai prezzi dei Sainsbury.

It was just fine.we spend 4 nights in this quite hotel. the hotel is under construction and we didn´t get the studio which we had booked but that didn´t really bother us. we came home late at night and left around 10h in the morning so we didn´t spend much time within the rooms.we had 2 single beds and another "living room" which had a couch, tv and a table with 2 chairs. they also put some sugar and coffee on the table and the rooms were very clean. the ensuite bathroom was freezing cold and tiny. it was not one of the most modern bathrooms, some tiles were broken, tiny sink and the pressure of the shower was not the best. but it was clean, new towels every day. the rooms are furnished in an old style but that´s typical british. but overall, it was worth the money and easy access to london. even the sightseeing busses (big bus company and the origional sightseeing tour company) have a bus stop at the end of the road. the staff was very friendly. on our departure day we could leave our luggage there for no extra cost. and if the whole hotel looks like the new lounge room after their renovation it will look very very good. we would come back.

This is what i would expect for a two star hotel. Location was great. Room was a little worn out feeling. Worked great for somewhere to sleep. It did have a little refrig, stove, and microwave, so we ate breakfast in the room everyday and saved some money for other things. Overall would stay here again.

I expected a dreary room, but it was suprisingly clean and nice. The 3rd bed was a roll out mattress which was very uncomfortable, but for the price I would stay there again.

The location was an absolute bonus - once you got use to the small bathroom it was pretty comfortable - we didn't have neighbors till the last 3 nights and they were pretty loud, before that, no noise to speak of. The room was very comfortable with plenty of hot water for showers and heat in the room...would stay there again on next visit. The only downside was peeling wallpaper, shabby carpet, etc but they were working on the place daily (painting the hallway while we were there) so we felt they were trying to bring it more up to speed.
