Caesar Hotel

This hotel is about a 15 minute walk to the tube or 10 minutes to the bus. Otherwise, the bed and pillows were very comfortable and the staff was very friendly.

Our hotel room was robbed by staff! My cousin and I just stayed at the Caesar Hotel in London, part of the Derby Hotel Collection, and were robbed from our room by staff! We filed a report with the manager and the police but to no avail. Not only was our luggage pilfered, but the manager did nothing for our troubles and told us he had no reason to believe us. Absolutely appalled by this hotel.

As far as hotels go I’m a practical person. As long as the room is clean, the bed is sleepable, and the shower has good water pressure I’m happy. This being said, the Caeser Hotel hits that sweet spot of: location, service, and price. My partner and I stayed here for a week on a during March. I was a little worried about the check in time being so late in the day (2PM) since our plane arrived around 10am, but it proved not to be a problem. When we arrived early the staff checked our bags behind the desk and we were able to explore the neighborhood and get a bite to eat before returning and checking into the room. The room deposit was reasonable and promptly returned to us upon check out.
The rooms themselves are simple and clean. We reserved a «Superior Room» with one double bed, a TV, closet, and drawers. We were garden level so there was a beautiful view of the blossoming trees outside. It never got anywhere near «noisy» only the occasional laughing group of people. I was EXTRA excited (as an American) that the room came with a hair dryer because I’m too afraid to use my own in EU outlets without shutting down half of the hotel’s electricity. Everyday new toiletries were provided which proved to be helpful for my partner who forgot his own. I see a lot of reviews saying their rooms were small, but I have been in MUCH smaller accommodations. The bathroom feels a bit tight but I’m not a person who spends their vacation lounging about the hotel room so I never felt constrained. There was enough space for us to unpack and relax when we came home at the end of the night. The supply of tea, sugar, and cream was restocked everyday and it became our morning ritual to have a cup together before heading out to explore!
The location is why I originally chose this Hotel and on that point it is FANTASTIC. We walked everywhere. Granted the two of us prefer to walk over getting a cab so our «walking distance» may be a few miles off everyone else. That being said it is a quite reasonable distance from many of the Museums, restaurants, and attractions. We walked through the park almost everyday. If you plan on using the Underground to get around this hotel is in a priceless spot, and easy to access from public transit.

Ansprechendes, kleineres Hotel in ruhiger Lage.
Ein üppig bepflanzter Nachbarschaftsgarten auf dem Queen’s Garden davor versöhnt mit der Großstadt.
Das Hotel an sich scheint gut gepflegt und das Personal ist zuvorkommend und freundlich.
Ein ausgezeichneter Platz um die Stadt zu erkunden. Denn die Lage in Paddington bietet sich dafür an.
Preislich im Mittelfeld gelegen, macht es die Wahl allerdings nicht leicht. Im Umfeld stehen ein Dutzend anderer Hotels mit dem gleichen hohen Standard.

This review is not a reflection on its staff at all (who from front desk to housekeeping) do a great job.
Hotels on various travel sites are given star ratings on the basis of stated amenities rather than basic comfort (about which it is really up to reviewers who have actually stayed at a hotel to elucidate).
The room I stayed in was uncomfortable. The bed was hard in a way where you could feel the metal structures of the mattress. The desk chair provided had no back: it was merely an ottoman. The «closet» was merely a shallow armoire where even a sport jacket placed on a hanger had part of it resting on a shelf below. Since it was that shallow, the room save was in it and could not hold a laptop (as many now do).
The hotel was really a pig in a poke I got from Hotwire. And the room truly felt like being in a poke. It was so small that it was difficult to turn my rolling carry-​on bag around. The bed, already structurally uncomfortable was a twin bed against a wall (where turning over felt like a challenge not to fall on the floor).
Then there was the bathroom. it was clean, crisp, with really excellent toiletries. BUT given that this was a renovated old building, the bathroom floor was at a slightly different level than the room itself. Between those two levels was a door jam. It was an invitation to tripping and falling (especially in the middle of the night). So what I did was to make sure I kept the door closed as a reminder that I had to be EXTRA careful. What might have worked would have been to build up the floor to same level as the room itself.
Also despite the hallway being carpeted, when anyone walked past, it resounded loudly and the room shook.
Renovating old buildings has to be done correctly. It’s clear there was not any use testing from the guest point of view.
I don’t care how chic this place is supposed to be or about its restaurant (s). There were plenty of excellent ones nearby. It looked good, but was uncomfortable… and to stretch the metaphor further: lipstick on a pig.
Steer clear.

«Bang, bang, bang on the door baby: bang bang bang!» OK maybe the b-​52s weren’t from London, but maybe they stayed at the Caesar? Despite it’s awesome location and cool décor, all I will remember it for is its paper thin walls and obnoxiously loud cleaning staff. I was awoken every morning at 0700 by thumping on walls and slamming doors as they finished cleaning other rooms. If it wasn’t for that, I’d stay here again.

Very friendly staff, excellent location, very quiet and at 5 minutes walking of Hyde park. Room is modern and comfortable, but our bathroom was too small (our friends had a better bathroom). Breakfast simple and expensive, but at short distance enough places for a good breakfast.
Room prices for London center are very modest.

Loved it! Decent room size, clean, and friendly staff. We picked it after reading reviews and stayed six nights. Our room had a king size bed and had enough space for our two bigger suitcases easily tucked away on their side to be opened. The bathroom was the cleanest I had ever seen in a hotel and the entire room was lovely! The staff is friendly. There is also a bar and restaurant on site. We walked to little cafes or pubs for food or were out most of the time. We did spend a few evenings in, but had plenty of space to relax in our room. We will definitely stay here again!

Positives:
— staff: friendly and accommodating. I had some problem with my first room and they immediately changed room for me.
— location: within walking distance of paddington station but the neighborhood is very quiet. Also just a short walk away from Hyde park. Note, it is a very touristy area in general (tons of hotels nearby), it’s good for short term stay but I’d not stay near here for more than 4 days.
Things I didn’t like:
— room condition: for a deluxe room that costs around £140, it’s tiny (welcome to the reality of London real estate). There is no fridge, microwave or alarm clock in the room. The AC can only be turn on to ²¹⁄₂₂ degrees. I stayed there during two of the rare hot days in London, when the AC is on the room is freezing cold, but when it’s off it’s way too warm. The bathroom door faces the bed directly, the TV screen is tiny (about the same size as my laptop’s monitor). In the first room I got, there was an unpleasant humid kind of smell, and the TV turns itself off randomly. The walls and doors seem aged, desperately needs a facelift.
— the hall ways on the ground floor has no AC! It felt hot and stuffy.
In general the hotel served the purpose and the staff were really awesome, but the facility made me feel glad that I only had to stay for 2 nights.

Stayed here on my honeymoon for three nights. The staff was great. They were very friendly and helpful. The rooms were very clean and our particular room was spacious, although I can imagine some of them are smaller as is common throughout Europe. Regardless, when one is vacationing in London, there is soooo much to do you are rarely in the room. They were under construction in areas, so I am guessing it will just get nicer. Overall, I was impressed and would stay here again.

Nice trendy Boutique hotel.
So I found this hotel on Trip Advisor for under $ 200 a night and stayed here for 5 days. Quite surprisingly our room was remodeled but quite small, but it’s like any standard room in Europe with some spunk. I was kind of surprised that it was in a pretty good location. There’s Paddington up the street and its about .4 miles from the Bayswater station which has variety of food, from Chinese, Lebanese, Mediteranian, McDonalds, Indian and more. There’s also a shopping mall which was quite hidden. The staff was very nice and the service was superb. I would highly recommend this place if your looking for a nice trendy hotel under $ 200 a night.

Nice hotel and close to Paddington, which was my number one criteria. Very surprised how quiet the surrounding neighborhood is (another plus) even on Saturday night. Nice selection of ethnic restaurants within walking distance. Close to Hyde park. Would definitely return. Ask fro room on 1^st floor or higher.

Beautiful little Boutique Hotel!
We stayed for a couple of days in London and could not have been happier. Great value for money, quiet beautiful upscale neighborhood close enough to Hyde Park & Tube stations.
The rooms were small (but even the rooms in the Hilton in London are tiny…) but clean and comfy, quiet & most importantly a huge soft bed.
The staff was super friendly (we checked in at 4 in the morning cos we got caught up in the snow nightmare just before xmas and the staff was smiling and joking + the checkin was super fast and uncomplicated which made us feel at ease) the breakfast area as well as the reception super funky and the breakfast choice (buffet style european breakfast) was good.
Overall a great experience and good value for money.

Wow, i love the feel and look of this hotel. Very chic, urban, and modern. Quite fashionable indeed. For a low price of 100 GBP, you can have your own closet. Yes the single room i got for that price was extremely tight. The whole room was a single bed and maybe a 2 foot walking path beside it, I had to step over my suitcase on the floor to get to the bathroom. However, the clean design makes the tight room feel somewhat manageable and makes me feel artsy when I’m in the place. The location is a bit of a walk to a nearby tube station, and Taxi’s aren’t always waiting at your doorstep, so not quite prime real estate for the walking individual, however, the abundance of Aston’s and Bentley’s parked along the surrounding streets made the 20 minute walks to the tube more than enjoyable. The great design and clean feel of the hotel (along with the car porn) made up for the extremely small room.

My mother, who lives in Barcelona, decided to come on a little holiday jaunt to London for an extended weekend, and I stayed with her in her choice of hotel.
She booked a room with the group Derby Hotels, a company that she has worked with for years, and who have consistently provided comfort and style for a fraction of the price of other places of the same standard. We weren’t disappointed.
This place is elegant, central chic, and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. It’s a small place, but although the rooms are compact, the design is sleek and warm, resulting in a clean and bright feel. The Derby Hotels owner, Jordi Clos, who is an avid art collector and founder of the Museum of Egyptology in Barcelona, also displays some of his pieces here.
For a double room, with continental breakfast included, expect to pay around £100. The hotel is equipped with meeting rooms, restaurant/​bar and Gym and Sauna.
