Lancaster Gate Hotel

Stayed here for two weeks. The location is very convenient to the Central, District and Circle lines. It is a short walk to Hyde Park which is beautiful and has great walking trails.
The rooms are small (which I understand is typical in Europe) with limited storage. Since we were out every day for sightseeing and traveling, it was not a big concern. The rooms were clean and the staff helpful. We were easily able to schedule tours with assistance from the front desk.
Wi fi connection is an additional fee and is slow. We did better using the free cloud connection available at most pubs (and if not the cloud, most pubs had available free wi fi).
We did not use the restaurant or the bar. We ate at a small café around the corner that had great prices and an excellent English breakfast. I would stay here again.

This is a review from last summer when my girlfriend and I stayed there for two weeks. So if things have changed, I apologize.
Overall, this is a very good hotel. The room we had was nice, had air conditioning, big plus and we encountered few issues. So why only three stars? One was I hate when a hotel charges me for Internet. This is not the dawn of wireless, everyone and every place offers Internet and most places for free. This place charged 5 pounds a day, which when you stay for two weeks, got a little pricey. It also did not let me charge it to the room since we pre-​paid for it. Fine, but I asked if I could just pre-​purchase the usage upon check-​in and they said no. I had to literally pay for it once a day. I think that is pretty stupid.
Also, we purchased breakfast on our trip, which was served daily at the hotel. I wish we did not do that because breakfast was so bad, we rarely ate it. Everyday we had the same horrible eggs, turkey, fruit and so on. Basically, if the hotel made it, it was awful. I know there is this cliché about English breakfasts but we went other places and it was fine.
The workers were nice but not the most knowledgeable people. We asked them for restaurant recommendations and sometimes they drew a blank. Or when we asked for directions, they were not very helpful. I think in a city like London, front desk workers should be more knowledgeable.
This place was not bad by any means, just did not meet my expectations. If you choose to stay there, you should have a comfy room in a quiet area, you just may leave a little disappointed with other things.

Guys, this review is from when I visited London TEN FREAKIN’ YEARS AGO. So a lot has probably changed since then…
From memory, I enjoyed staying here during my week in London. I don’t remember having any complaints and the neighborhood was very safe. I loved how it was near Hyde Park so I could take a walk around there.
Even though I was not impressed with British food altogether (sorry Brits), their complimentary English breakfast was AWESOME! I recommend filling up on breakfast because food is London is very expensive and not very good.
As the Brits say it… it was very lovely.

So on the first night of checking into this hotel I was exhausted because I had just come off one of those bus tours through Europe and all I wanted to do was sleep.
I was rudely awoken at 8am by construction work on one side of my room and then at 10am by housekeeping in the room next door to me. The construction workers had a clear line of sight if to my room and were about 1 metre away from my window which was pretty bad.
I went down to reception to tell them my problem, and the duty manager immediately moved me to a different room which was fantastic. The room was a double and was much better than what I had paid for which is why I have bumped the review score up to a 4.

Ein typisches Londoner Stadthotel in guter Lage. Die U-​Bahn ist schnell zu Fuß erreichbar und zum Hyde Park sind es nur wenige Schritte. Das Hotel selbst ist schon älter, was man den Zimmern aber nicht anmerkt. Unser Zimmer lag leider nach hinten raus, daher war die Aussicht nicht fototauglich. Sonst war es in Ordnung klein aber sauber. Gefreut hätte ich mich über ein richtiges englisches Frühstück, aber für den kleinen Hunger reicht auch das normale aus. Das Personal war typisch englisch sehr freundlich und aufmerksam.

Kein Flexibler Service, Internet mit 14 Pfund/​Tag viel zu teuer. In den Zimmern war schon oft etwas defekt. Das Personal ist aber sehr nett

For various reasons we got a suite on one of the top floors of this hotel. The view is amazing looking out over Hyde Park and breakfast was served and very nice. However it just lacked that pure quality feel of a proper 5 star hotel. Can’t quite describe it but the sheets just weren’t soft enough, and the bathroom lacked a little. Put it into context though I’m quibbling because the overall quality is very high, but then so are expectations

Das Hotel liegt direkt am Hyde Park. Man gelangt schnell in die Einkaufsstraße und in wenigen Minuten erreicht man eine U-​Bahn Station. Im Hotel selber sind wir vom Service Personal nett, freundlich und aufmerksam bedient worden. Das Zimmer war sauber und für einen kurzen Aufenthalt groß genug. Preis Leistung: Für ein Stadthotel in London war alles in Ordnung.
