Staff were generally friendly and helpful but the hotel is extremely dated and in desperate need of refurbishment.  …

Had a one night stay with my sister as going to Royal Albert Hall.Generally staff were welcoming, Sandra was outstanding.. Thank you.. Room very clean, bath with overshower which was a bonus and 1st floor overlooking the street. A bit tired in places but excellent value for money. Breakfast was first class, a buffet continental style with so much choice.5 mins max to Hyde Park and easy access to Oxford St. either walking, tube or bus. Would definitely stay again

This review might be biased because we got a tiny room on the basement level with little outside light and absolutely no view out of the window.The walls are very thin (we could hear our neighbours switching their lights and electric outlets on and off) and on the basement floor you can hear the rumbling of the underground.The hotel is clean and the staff is welcoming. The shared spaces are rather cosy.Good hotel if you just need a plave to get some sleep after a day exploring London.

This is a great value just off Hyde Park, very near two underground lines, several bus lines and a reasonable walk to Paddington Station. The immediate neighborhood has several pubs and restaurants, but not an abundance. The room was well maintained and nice, though we were on the floor below street level (not quite a basement) and I would have preferred being higher. Breakfast was nice and reasonably priced.

The hotel is perfectly located between two underground stations and close to Hyde Park. The staff were lovely and our room was ready early which was a welcome bonus. …

I stayed at the Lancaster gate hotel for 3 weeks recently. Amazing location very close to everything you need on your door step. Bus stop is a 2min walk and it runs 24hrs and 7 days a week easy to use. Very helpful staff and very friendly as well. Rooms are small and don't have much space for your bags a part from that they are fine. No fridge so be mindful of this.

We had a lovely stay. The staff was super nice and attentive, always helpful. The room was big and clean, super comfortable and the location is amazing, right across Hyde Park, near multiple metro stations and walking distance to Notting Hill, Oxford street and the museum quarter. We'll definitely stay again.

I was very pleasantly surprised by our room and stay at Lancaster Gate. For the price we paid which is cheap for London we had a great stay. The room was clean, the bed comfy and it was very quiet at night so we had a good nights sleep. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the location is perfect for close access to Paddington station, Hyde park and central London which are all within walking distance.You get what you pay for and this isn’t a five star hotel but for the price we paid we were very happy with our two nights stay.We will stay here again when visiting London for a few days or it’s a great location to be close to the station for Heathrow or Gatwick airport departures.

Rooms need update, room cleanliness was questionable, safety was questionable with outsiders gaining entry (in the lobby, scammers asking guest to change fake US $100 dollar bill for pounds). Dogs were allowed in the bar area. …

The room was fine but the guest service was not at all. There is now iron in the room and when we asked for one they gave it but then the other day when they clean up the room they took it. We asked for it back but we didn't get it. The other thing is I asked for a 1:00 pm check out but they gave a cost for that which is completely different from what it was in the room. Beside I had an online meeting this is way I asked for the late check out but they even didn't apologize or suggest a quite area nearby.Good room but horrible service
