If you are looking for a traditional English hotel, this isn't the one for you...This hotel is definitely much more European than English. It has a funny discrete entrance, marked only with the letter "H" on the pillars of the building on a very traditional looking block in Bayswater. Once inside, you see that it is very modern with a... More

Stayed for one nigth in May 2012. Really gorgeous, cool and stylish hotel, rate was good for central london and it made a change from the typical west end venues. Room was lovely, minimalistic as advised but stylish and had everything i needed. Reception area was nice, good for a bit of work or an early drink and the restaurant... More

We stayed at The Hempel for 5 nights over Easter 2012 and found it to be very comfortable and in a very convenient location. After arriving from Australia, what we really needed was a quick check-in and a comfortable bed in a quiet location - and The Hempel provided it all. The staff were friendly and helpful with things such... More

We stayed here for my daughter's hen night & as there were a few of us we saw just how individual the rooms are - very modern & definitely luxurious. I had a kingsize bed to myself & it was the best night's sleep I have ever had. The room also had an attractive outlook as it faced the Zen... More

This hotel is right in the middle of London, near Paddington Station and Hyde Park. Outside is the usual hustle and bustle of central London and as far as eye candy goes there are definitely much better places to visit. The Hempel hotel looks like so many of the other buildings on this block, and it's not until you get... More

We only stayed here for 2 nights but it was beautiful. The room was lovely, clean and bright and the bathroom too, especially the bath, was clean, bright and crisp. The staff were very friendly on arrival, during our stay and even helpful for us after we checked out. We only had breakfast at the hotel and that was absolutely... More

We stayed here for 4 nights but were very disappointed. Given its price, we expected 5 star facility and hotel management. Sadly it was not the case. The lights in our bathroom went out one night and no electrician was available at that time to fix it. So we were given a desk lamp to shower. The morning we prepared... More

Booked through hotwire so I could be near Paddington station and it worked out very well. I'll be back. Convenient, very clean, free wifi - that's all I pretty much was after but got lots more. Front staff were very helpful and focused on making me happy. Greeter took my bag when I came in the door, gave me a... More

My stay at the Hempel was quite enjoyable. The room was extremely large and well appointed. The main bathroom was huge with a large relaxation tub and a separate rain shower. There was an additional second 1/2 bath which was great! The service was top notch and every employee at the hotel was very pleasant. The neighborhood was quiet and... More
