As many reviews pointed out previously, this hotel is small in size - both the number of rooms and guestroom space. But it is in a fantastic location: less than 50 feet away from Bayswater Rd on Queenborough Terrace and within one to two blocks of distance, you will find Queensway and Bayswater tube stations as well as lots of buses on Bayswater Road. It is also about a 10-minute walk to the Paddington station where you would get Heathrow Express or Heathrow Connect to the airport. The immediate neighborhood is full of restaurants, shops, markets, and pubs - very lively at night. Great area with extreme convenience.
Hotel is obviously converted from an old residence like many small hotels throughout London but it has been recently renovated up to today's standard. Guestrooms are small for sure, many rooms are basically your walk-in closet size. I stayed at this hotel twice in my recent trip - the first time I was put in a queen size room with a double bed, which is already a luxury by this hotel's standard but space is still quite limited: just enough for you to walk around and put a luggage. I was given a much smaller room on my 2nd stay where a double bed pretty much takes up the entire space. That said, both rooms are nicely decorated with contemporary touches - LCD tv, tea/coffee facilities, etc. Bathroom is definitely cramped but nicely refurbished otherwise - fairly good size standing shower with a small sink and a new toilet. No problem with the shower pressure or temperature like a few reviews mentioned here. Bed is a bit hard and pillows are too soft for me but otherwise everything is considered pleasant.
Staff is very friendly and try their best to assist hotel guests. Price includes free internet and continental breakfast (cereal, coffee, juice, milk, fruit, toast/croissant, cheese, etc.) which is great as these things are usually expensive in London.
I have stayed in a number of London hotels before and some of them are indeed better than the Comfort Inn Hyde Park but they are all significantly more expensive right now so I am very happy to find this property as an alternative - comfort with a reasonable price tag. I will most definitely consider returning in the future.
Room Tip: Check out Queensway Road, a MUST! So many restaurants, shops and pubs! Lively at night.
