I had read the reviews after my agent had booked this. And I didn't have a good feeling about it tbh. I was down for one of the NFL games and really just needed a place to stay. …

Good hotel close to Regents Park and Baker Street. I stayed two nights in a double room, and found it quite satisfactory. The breakfast was good, and the premises clean. I will be back when in London next time. The staff were nice and I liked the free luggage storage facility.

I read reviews of this hotel and thought it would be ok for one night. It was, just that, ok. We arrived early and asked if we could check in early, but that was not possible. …

Excellent location, clean and functional rooms, simple but good quality breakfast. ||Engaging and helpful staff, facility for storing luggage was very handy. Baker Street Station and Marylebone station are very close by and there are many shops and restaurants in the area.

No air conditioning = very hot rooms and no ventilation (window opens minimally).Extremely small rooms & showers = only enough space if you're shorter than 5 feet and less than 125 lbs.Not worth the #/£/€ as management ghosts you as soon as they have your money (e.g. via Expedia)However, excellent location.

I don't think the evaluations are fair to the incredible hotel we are talking about.To start: the location is really incredible. 5 minutes by foot from Baker Street station and a 15-min walking distance from Oxford Street. There's a lot of shops and restaurants nearby as well.The hotel staff are very polite and helpful, and we loved our small but really cosy room.The breakfast has a very interesting and good variety.We couldn't be happier. Thank you so much!

The Americana Hotel has some great advantages, particularly its excellent location near the city center and easy access to the underground. This makes it convenient for exploring London. The price is fair, and the room was cleaned thoroughly every day, which we appreciated.However, there were several drawbacks that impacted our stay. The room was extremely hot, and without any air conditioning, we had to keep the window open at all times to get some relief.Additionally, the room was very small, making it difficult to accommodate our larger luggage comfortably.The breakfast was quite basic, with the only hot option being a hardboiled egg. On one occasion, there was only a single slice of cheese available, without any ham or vegetables, which was disappointing.Overall, while the Americana Hotel offers good value and a convenient location, the lack of air conditioning, small room size, and limited breakfast options were significant downsides.
