Quality Crown Hotel Hyde Park - Londres

This hotel is one of many, many converted private homes near Paddington Station. Most are cheap and "are rubbish" (in the words of the woman who rescued us by recommending a nearby wonderful, albeit more expensive hotel called The Commodore.) The Quality was no exception. The elevator stopped working while we were there, apparently a recurrent problem, and was not fixed for over one hour. One group of tourists were waiting in the lobby for an hour to speak to the manager about some problem and were very upset. Another woman checking in complained that her room was dirty and the fan didn't work (even though the hotel is advertized as air conditioned, which is wasn't.) We had to walk up five flights of stairs to get to our room (someone did come to carry up the luggage.) The room was tiny, not particularly clean and had a smell of sewerage. The televison didn't work. The poor young woman at the desk who was the only employee in the place for most of the two hours we were there did the best she could in an impossible situation with so many people complaining but began to look frantic until another fellow showed up from the nearby sister hotel. He also tried to be helpful and was apologetic but unfortunately this didn't compensate for the awfulness of the place. This is a one to two star hotel at best, its only advantage being that it is within walking distance of Paddington.

When I arrived at my room I was nicely surprised to see a label on the door that said, Club Room'. Everywhere else I have stayed, this means a little bigger room, better facilities and overall more inline for a business traveller. What I found was a 3/4 size double bed pushed into a corner of he room, just leaving enough room to walk past it to get to the fan in the room, because the room obviously suffered from overheating. I could touch both walls at the same time and thus most disappointing

I loved the hotel in all, location ,cleanliness, staff bar, room was all perfect for us. Rooms are not huge huge rooms but then if it a short stay why would you complain you are there to shower and sleeo who cares for the size?? beats me! staff speak excellent english and check in an out process very ealisy done. WILL STAY AGAIN

The room is small but the bed (double twin) is ok for one person. The bed is comfortable. The curtain is long and blocks all lights, which not all hotel can do. The worst thing is the water flow, which is extremely slow. A four star hotel at this price could have been much better.

We had 3 of us staying in this room and it wasn't too small as you would expect for a hotel in Europe. It was clean and not in a noisy area. The front desk personel was exceptionally polite and helpful.

The room is clean and a decent size and has all the amenities you need, hair dryer, iron, etc. However the beds are not very comfortable and there are no luxuries. It was decently priced though and in a really excellent location. It is an easy walk to Hyde Park and Paddington station.

What was advertised to be a "double" was a double bed stuffed into a single bed space. The room was recently updated and modern but it was just too small to open a suitcase or turn around in. You had to sit in the bathroom to read a book.

The hotel is very clean, modern and secure. Great neighborhood with easy access to the underground and Paddington Station for the Healthrow Express. The rooms are very tiny with a double providing very close quarters. There was a very good effort to provide storage.

The hotel is excellently located near Paddington Station, very convenient to the Heathrow Express. It's on a square that is (probably) normally quiet, but construction was going on. It's not a beautiful square, due to a large portion being occupied by a concrete bunker-like hall for a local college. The staff is mostly pretty friendly. The breakfast is very good, although not included in some rates. The room rate (for London) was pretty reasonable. Second The Bad: And the reason I would not recommend this hotel. Our bathroom radiator heated just fine, but when the steam stopped, it started clanking with the most horrific noise I have ever heard come from a heating device. The unhelpful staff claimed that that's just how the radiator is, and nothing could be done about it. I have encountered many radiators, and none of them made this kind of noise. We arrived after midnight the first night, turned on the radiator, and were rudely awakened by it some half hour later. Also, the TV didn't work, and it took several requests to get it fixed. Last The Mediocre: The staff, while not unfriendly, is mostly unhelpful (see "The Bad"). The hotel is surprisingly noisy for being on a square, and not only from the ill-mannered radiator. There's also noise I couldn't identify, but I think came from the kitchen refrigerator compressor. Rooms not situated on the same air shaft may be quieter. The rooms are quite small, but not unusually small for London, but do have very good hair dryers and coffee/tea makers. Summary: There are better places to stay near Paddington.

Superb hotel. The staff is courteous and helpful. The hotel was very convenient to the underground stations in London. We would gladly recommend the Quality Crown Hotel Hyde Park to our friends.

The hotel itself is quaint. However, the rooms are smaller than college dorm rooms. There too small for one person. The hotel staff was not very friendly or helpful. The hotel, however, is conveniently located one block away from Paddington Station and has several fast food eateries such as Burger King, McDonald's, and Subway. There are other places to eat as well.

The staff was mostly friendly if not really sure about their surroundings and the room was a bit on the tiny side but if you don't plan on spending a bunch of time in the hotel it will suit you just fine

Hotel was nice and clean. Close to Paddington station, Hyde Park, great Underground access. Satisfactory value given the price.

Hotel is walking distance to Paddington Train station which is where you catch the Heathrow Express to Heathrow. Also it is near the Underground which gives you access to Central London.

This hotel was perfect, especially for the prices in London. I loved the location and I would highly recommend this hotel for any future guests.

If you plan on booking a stay here make sure you know what room you are getting before arriving. I made a reservation for two people and got a room that was situated for only one person to freely move at any given time. The room upon entering looked more like a cabin on a small ship rather than delux accommodations. There were larger rooms available but you must specify what you are looking for ahead of time. Now if you like hot showers, as most of us do, you would be wise to check the status of the plumbing upon entering your room. Surprise cold showers with low water pressure are never a fun way to start your holiday. Also if you book and choose to get continental or full breakfast make sure you bring proof that your booking included that. Without it you will be headed to the nearest cafe for your morning meal. No proof, no food for you. One more thing to keep in mind...ask them if construction is going on in or around the area. I dont mind waking up early but never to the sounds of a jackhammer at 7:30 AM. As far as location goes this area fit the bill. You are a 5 min walk to the Paddington tube and/or main train station. There are a ton of inexpensive cafes nearby. This is an area that has a wide variety of hotels so even if you dont choose this one you can find many more in the same area that may fit your needs better. Enjoy your holiday!

Location was great, all attractions easily accessible using the underground. Staff was helpful, but the room assigned to us was very small and had no window.

We went to London expecting small rooms with less than perfect plumbing so it was no surprise that our first room was small. We were 3 adults and were given a room with a double bed and a roll away. Luckily we were prepared for the lack of space. We left for a week in Paris and returned to get a larger room in the basement area. It was much roomier with 3 single beds and a larger bathroom. We found it a bit noisier than our first room, but given the choice between space and a little noise, we chose space. We were out every morning and came in at night to find our beds turned down. They have a restaurant that serves breakfast, but you get a better deal if you eat at one of the many eateries in the area. Just about a block and a half from Paddington Station, getting around London was really easy. The staff couldn't have been nicer and more accomodating. We were treated very well by the entire staff. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a moderately priced hotel in a great part of London!

This hotel has some potential, but the first room they gave us was awful and tiny, the second room they gave us we could not stay in since there was contruction going on right outside our window, so we could not sleep, the third room they gave us was a nice room but, the phone did not work, and no one on staff knew how to work it. They kept sending people that did not know how to work the phone to fix it the phone (such as the bartender, and the painter), also even though we had hot water in the sink, but the shower was cold. The maid staff does not know what the "Do Not Disturb" sign means - we were distrupted 3 times on one morning, twice by the maid and once by the bartender looking to retrieve a knife we had used the day before. I can not imagine they only had one knife in the entire hotel, so they had to knock on the door with the "Do Not Disturb" sign on it. The staff was all very nice and friendly except for one girl, I think her name was Margaret. Trying to resolve any issues with her was an excerise in patience. She did not listen to what any of the problems were so she was not able to address them, she seemed to think she knew without my explanations, as a result, I quickly figured out I needed to wait until Jo Anne or Pratup came on duty - they were great. Once they get all the bugs worked out this maybe an OK place to stay, but request room 607, and wait until all the bugs have been worked thru.

Room was incredibly small considering we had not chosen the cheapest room available. Staff were not particularly friendly/helpful.

The Good: The hotel is convienently located in the heart of the Paddington hotel strip just off Sussex Gardens. Both Paddington and Lancaster gate tube stations are less the a 5 minnute walk. So you can take the Heathrow Express from the airport and walk there from the station. The place has obviously undergone a pretty nice makeover and the finishes arent bad. Has a nice bar, but really small. neighborhood and surrounding area is good. 4 minute walk down Sussex to Hyde Park's Lancaster Gate entrance which is pretty sweet. The bad: Interent is not normally included with room cost so make sure you get that included as part of the booking (I had to ask for it). The maid staff either dosent speak much english or doesnt know how to read a "Do Not Disturb" sign. If you sign up for an "Executive Suite" that mean it's going to be small. Really small. Like, I've been to London many times and this room is Really Really small. No air-conditioning, but we were there in early March so it didnt really matter. All in all I think it wouldve been worth the extra money to stay at Quality Crown Paddington instead if we hadnt been there for more than 2 weeks. It seems far more comfortable.

Great location for business or to be in place for travel from Paddington Station. My room was very small, but clean. Noisy due to construction next door. Staff was courteous and helpful. Not special, but for London, a decent value for money

Our room was clean but it was very small and very drafty. It took about 10 minutes to get hot water going in the shower and sink. There was construction going on in the building directly across from our window so jackhammers, drills, buzzing, and banging started at 8:00 each morning. If a peson needs to get up for work that would be fine but sleeping in to make up for any jet lag was impossible. The location of the hotel is somewhat off the beaten trail (not in the heart of "the city")but it is close to Paddington Station which made taking The Underground to desired locations easy.

Good value. Great location if want to be near Paddington Station - easy walk (although seems longer if you have much luggage). Several food options in area. Clean hotel, nice bathroom, small room - typical of London. Nice TV. Fine, polite service, although didn't ask for much or look for much interaction. Only somewhat annoying thing was the internet connection cord isn't long, so have to sit on little stool at counter in room, rather than getting comfortable with laptop on bed. But not a big deal.

Great value for the money, and excellent location. A small hotel, it is within easy walk of both Lancaster Gate tube station and Paddington Station. Many moderately priced places to eat close by. Not a luxurious hotel, but friendly staff, clean, and comfortable. Will stay here again.

During our stay we had only cold water in the shower and no heat in the room. The staff was not accomodating at all and offered no solution.

Comfortable and clean. Access to metro just around the corner as well as any places to eat, access to a small market, internet cafe and laundrette if you really want to do your laundry on your own too. Taxis to the airport available or shuttles for a good price, but definitely check your pickup time. Friendly staff, very kind and helpful. Good price for breakfast so you don't have to go out searching early in the morning, however the cafes around are decently priced, so you do have a choice. Large sized bathroom with good water pressure, and a flat screen tv for tv and internet connection including wake up call. Only thing is, it may be a bit confusing to find as it is in a the corner of talbot square which not a lot of people know of. If you take a taxi, it's near paddington station, but it's not the one BY paddington station. It's the one around the corner, about 4 rights from paddington station.

I spent a weekend here touring in London after meetings during the week. The hotel is older but in good condition. Hallways are narrow but there is an elevator and this is not a problem. My room was small but comfortable. Modern amenities (flat-panel LCD TV and movies, wired/wireless internet) worked great. Location is good -- near Paddington Station and Lancaster Gate tube stations -- and neighborhood is fine. The staff was pleasant and helpful. Overall I was very satisfied with the value for the money.

We loved the hotel, don't expect the staff to know much or help much, they mentioned twice that "they were not wizards" when asked about the weather... Bt the lift worked, the rooms had great bathrooms, clean and neat, very small "double beds" but comfortable. A definite stay for travelers looking to spend most of their time out of the hotel. Would reccommend this to others.

location of hotel was good, near paddington station and underground. Staff, all foreign, were very polite and helpful. Rooms was small and the need for A/C was great. Breakfast was OK but I have had better. Lighting in room was poor and electrical outlets to charge your phone/laptop were very hard to reach. The hotwater maker was a neat feature and they bring you fresh milk (free) if you call the desk. We liked having our tea in the room. Overall experience was good.

You know, I should have headed warnings about this hotel. Someone else had mentioned that you could span your arms across the room...they were right. Absolutely no space to put your baggage. Just as others had mentioned, I didn't understand why this place was a 4 star hotel. Staff couldn't answer any of my questions regarding places to eat, things to do and places to go. GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!!

The hotel was very convenient because of its proximity to Paddington Station. The staff was very professional, helpful, and friendly. Talbot Square is a quiet, pretty little square that is off of a busy street. There is a picturesque little park across from the hotel. I would definitely stay there again.

We were very pleased with the location of the hotel and the staff was very friendly and helpful. It is an ideal location --close to the tube and very central to many points of interest. There are many nice reasonable restaurants within walking distance as well as money exchange places and small markets. Since the weather was somewhat cool, we did not miss the airconditioning and we were able to open windows for venilation. The lack of airconditioning would prevent me from staying at this hotel during hot months. What ever you do DO NOT eat breakfast at the hotel. Very, very, expensive and we were charged the same amount for a contiental breakfast that would have been paid for the full English breakfast $42.00 for two. I had a roll and glass of water!!! Most expensive breakfast ever. Burger King and McDonalds are just around the corner.

I was on business travel to UK. Had two days free between meetings and decided to take a look at London whihc I have not done so for all the times I have been to the UK. I found this hotel at hotel.com. I chose this hotel because of its location (close to Paddington Train Station which has an Express train to/from Heathrow Airport and not too far from the Underground). The hotel is just a short distance walking from the train station. (However, this is another Quality Crown Hotel right next to the station. Making this somewhat confusing.)The neighbour is nice and quiet, but there are just too many small hotels in that area. It was a little difficult in finding the place. The people at the front desk are very nice and helpful. However, the room and hallway were really narrow and small. The wall is not as sound proof as I thought it would be as I could hear the snoring from next door. The TV system was not too reactive to command. (There was always a wait before your command was carried out.) Still, the room had a fair size bathroom and a very comfortable bed. The last two elememnts were the most important factors for me as that was all I needed, just a place to sleep and wash-up. Overall, I found the Quailty Crown Hotel to be a pretty good place to stay if I need to go back to London again.

Ett hotell sentralt men likevell passe rolig. Lite støy og bråk. Ikke akkurat noe lixushotell, men ett hotell med grei standard og kvalitet. Har bodd der flere ganger over 4 år, og det gode servicenivået er der forsatt. Anbefales!

Ett centralt hotell med utmärkt standard. Men var beredd på "compact living", rummen är små, men de innehåller ändå allt. Fräscht badrum. Området har gott om snabbmatställen för frukost, som inte ingick i hotellet. Fri trådlöst internet ingår, fungerade bra.

Vi boede på et tre-personers værelse med vores datter på 7 år. Hotellet er rent og personalet venligt. Beliggenhed er OK med kort distance til Hyde Park. At det er rangeret som et 4 stjerne hotel er dog misvisende. Det er et 3 stjerne hotel. Morgenmaden er ikke specielt god, men der er mange hyggelige cafeer i nærheden.

Trevligt centralt hotell nära t-bana och hyde park. Dålig spolning på toalett och lågt vattentryck i duschen för övrigt rent och prydligt.
