    Better than last year but bathroom had stains on shower cubicle Very narrow and difficult to manoeuvre, especially when opening the shower door to get out. Water drippped onto the floor, making it very slipper. Perhaps s provide a mat?? Bed comfy and room ok overall. Still no catering which is regrettable.

    When we arrived to the room we thought how amazing but shortly after we found that the toilet had been used and not flushed, no toilet roll, a dirty shower Matt, mould in the fridge and dust/dirt in several places When we reported this to reception they apologised and told us they had no cleaner at the moment and gave us half a toilet roll! A different room not offered at all forcing my partner to grab some cleaning supplies from the shop to scrub the mould and clean the dust It’s a shame as we were actually impressed what the room offers it just wasn’t very clean

    The room was beautiful and the bed comfy

    The room did not match the photo, it was hot and there was no air conditioning, the TV did not work well, there was only mini soap and tiny samples of shower gel in the bathroom, which is not even enough to completely wash yourself, there was no toilet paper. It was also not comfortable to sleep, there were 2 very small pillows.

    Good location, quiet, hot water, wi-fi

    Dirty quilts inside the clean bedding dirty pictures shower heads and limescale on shower. Television worked on one channel Key card didn’t work past one day so we sat on the stairs for a hour waiting for staff Staff working the reception were abrupt like we were not supposed to ask for extra towels as there was only one in our room for two people Bed in room 5 was 2 unmatched singles pushed together Headboard in room 8 wasn’t attached to bed and moved most of the night Dirty fridge mouldy not working and smelt awful. Be prepared for cloning multiple stairs to your room after walking all day

    Good area, close to Baker Street station Comfortable bed in room 8

    No lift, room was on top floor 6/7 flights of stairs getting narrower to top. No fire exit on top level. Room wasn't ready for 2pm as cleaners hadn't turned up in time, told to come back in couple hrs. When I did go back - 2hrs later room still not ready . Asked for tea/ coffees . Nothing! No other facilities at hotel such as lounge / sitting area, no porter. Pictures are far better than reality. Base cover of under bed hanging on floor. Drawers were not hoovered/cleaned out of previous crumbs. Bath panel ledge dirty.

    Fridge was unclean and smelly Room was grubby. Found a hair looked like a pubic hair in my bed Definitely not from myself . Holes in tiles in bathroom shower screen silicones in place , Generally everything was poor condition , from entry the reception floor tiles were all cracked . Had a bite or two on my legs , can’t definitely say there from hotel though .

    Location was brilliant for us. Easy to get to tubes. And Hyde park Staff at front seat were very nice and polite

    Very little soundproofing. Not bad on Sat night but sun morning got woken up by next door who sounded like they were in our room! Towels were a little small and bathroom floor was a bit slippy after showers. Take care!

    Room was on the top floor - room 6 and we had a little balcony window which was needed on a hot Saturday in London! Molton Brown shampoo and shower gel miniatures was a bonus. Location was really good - we walked to Hyde Park no problems. Big fridge in room which we didn't use.

    The hotel could be beautiful. I understand from the staff it's being renovated, and when it is, I think it could be lovely. The staff were really friendly, and the location was brilliant.

    Good location but sadly probably wouldn't stay agan

    Sadly the room was very expensive for what it was for the one night and it was just a single bed which wasn't particularly comfortable and head board wasn't attached so if you moved in your sleep it would bang against the wall and sound like someone is knocking on your door. Wallpaper was coming away from the wall and the décor was very dated. The hotel didn't feel secure at night as the front door was wide open and my room was on the ground floor nearest the front door.

    To start with it was in a really convenient location for the Station (Marylebone) and only a 10-15 min walk to the hotel and It was easy to find. The Free wifi is always a good thing to have. The bathroom was nice and clean and had a good shower. The member of staff was very friendly.

    Looks like we paid a much higher rate than usual, as the London Marathon and FA cup semi final taking place that weekend. Therefore, not great value for money.

    Excellent location between Baker Street and Marble Arch tube stations. Easily walkable from Marylebone train station. The staff were friendly and helpful and we could leave our cases there when we arrived early. The room was dated and could do with a full refurb. The photographs make it look more luxurious than it is in reality. We only stayed one night, which was fine.

We had twin room and there was no duvet on my bed, only the duvet cover. Didn't realise till too late. 4th floor. steep stairs, no lift.
