Hyde Park Inn

The location itself is great since it is next to the train station and the park near the palace. The cleanliness is very poor and it has a foul smell in there. The russian women were cleaning but, doing nothing. The sheets that where given to me had stains on them and the bathrooms where so small that i could not take a shower. I was booked in a women dorm on the top and had to climb 8 flights of stairs with my bag. This hotel is only ok if you are fit and strong. It can be dangerous since the stairs and very steep.
The customer service in the front of the hotel was very poor. I asked for directions and the man said just go that way. London is a very confusing and complex city and I am disappointed overall how bad the service here was and how unfriendly they are to tourist especially westerners. british seem anti west and it is obvious.
I would not stay there again.

This was the worst hostel/​inn I experienced ever. I was crammed in with twelve other people. I didn’t think this was legal to cram so many people into one room. The water connection was poor and warm water didn’t exist. I was glad to leave the room when I got the chance. My feet hit the end of the bunk bed on top of it.

We recently stayed at the Hyde Park Inn on our first trip to London. The hotel is good enough, the rooms are VERY small but clean. The hotel is LOW on service and if you do need to ask them for assistance be prepared to wait for an hour and then have to remind them about your request. Not only did I experience this but on numerous occasions at the front desk I saw other guests coming to remind the staff of a request they made but never got what they were waiting for. Skip the hotel restaurant — overpriced and do not waste your money on the hotel breakfast (unless of course it was included in your reservation). The hotel charges 13.50 per person, but if you walk a little ways (toward the Mitre pub) you will find a host of places to get a full english breakfast for 4.50/person — if you keep walking toward Paddington tube station you’ll find even more places to eat too. Also, if you want wireless you have to pay alot for it if you want to use your own laptop in your room its 5 pounds for an hour to start — a couple of blocks away you can get an hour or wireless for 1 pound. They have a free wireless connected computer in the lobby but there is usually alot of people waiting to use it… we only used it when we had to and were quick about it. Overall it was a decent stay, like I said clean but small room and we weren’t there much but when we go back we’ll be looking for a place that is more focused on service.

It was a few years back when I was last in London. As far as Hostles go it was one of the better ones I visited on my tour of Europe. The rooms are clean and I did not have any problems, stuff could have used some repair and a fresh coat of paint would make it look much nicer. The first night I was there a strange German man who did not like pants was constantly walking about the room and dancing, but that is part of the hostle experiance. The bar is in the basement and is a very lively place, and the staff was very good. I paid up front so I did not have the same issue as the other reviewer had. It was safe and clean, and within walking distance of food, the park, and the Tube… I would recomend it.

Très bon rapport qualité/​prix. Nous sommes partis à 4 et avons testé une chambre à 16: très bonne ambiance, nous étions une majorité de Français et d’Espagnols à l’Auberge, mais on a également rencontré des Australiens, des Finlandais
Obligation de savoir parler un minimum l’anglais car le personnel né connaît pas un mot de français. L’auberge est très bien située, pas loin de Central Park, de l’arrêt de métro Bayswater et des bus (je vous conseille de prendre la carte de métro oyster lignes 1 et 2, on a accès à tout et cette carte est utilisable aussi bien pour les métros que pour les bus.).
Le petit déjeuner (compris) est composé de céréales, lait et confiture, rien de bien original mais c’est mangeable; le seul problème est la quantité de vaisselle insuffisante face aux nombres de personnes présentes dans l’auberge. La cuisine est également assez petite et il n’y a pas assez de place pour s’asseoir.
Nous avons été agréablement surpris par le fait que tout le monde laissait ses affaires trainer et que rien né disparaissait.

Hyde Park Inn es una especie de hotel-​albergue. Està muy bien de precio, pero a mi personalmente no me gustó mucho. La sala principal, dónde se encuentra recepción está bien: tiene billar, minibar, sección internet Sin embargo, las habitaciones (no todas) estan muy poco iluminadas, las literas son estrechas y no muy largas, los labavos y las duchas colectivas.
No está muy limpio, sin embargo la gente alojada allí tienen muy buen rollo.

It’s been a while since I was here, but my experience at Hyde Park Inn was pretty good. My friend and I arrived late-​ish at night, but the staff was helpful and friendly and got us setup pretty easily.
I’m going to say this now: There is a pub in the basement. Needless to say, we never left.
They did neglect to inform us that we needed to pay every morning, so you can imagine how we felt when we went back to our rooms after breakfast to find all of our belongings missing. We did get most everything back (some of my necklaces were missing), and they did apologize, but it would’ve been nice if this didn’t happen on day 2.
There are Australians everywhere in this place (and in greater Europe, apparently), so beware. They will jump in through your window on Christmas and Boxing Day and attempt to get you drunk while you’re sleeping.
