I booked a single room and got a double so pleased about that.The fridge in the room very useful if a bit noisy. The room was spacious, big bath and very hot water. Lots of storage space and a bathroom cabinet. The room was like your spare room at home! Bed very comfortable This hotel is in a quiet location... More

Well, the title says it all from my 2 night visit. Welcomed at 6pm and after a speedy check in was in my large room on the 4th floor. I was reminded that I hadn't booked breakfast (true, i rarely bother) without feeling this was a 'sell' comment. Room was spacious, twin (together) and a single. Comfy sofa to watch... More

I've been a fan of the London Guards for a number of years now. I'm in London every year on business in November and have stayed here now for I believe 7-8 years in a row. Before that I used to stay at the Green Park Hilton for several years and even the Ritz on one occasion. London Guard is... More

I paid 58 euro for one night in a basic room and for this reply I would say my overall experience was excellent. The staff were very friendly and courteous at check in and allowed me to check in at 11:20 am without fuss as I arrived a little early. If you want a more luxurious and updated room then... More

We stayed for one night only and left earlier to take the Eurostar - so we didn't have the breakfast. The room is clean and spacious, which was surprising. It seems like in London, you have to pay a fortune to have a decent room and private bathroom. This room was comfortable and the bathroom was actually big. No problem... More

Stayed here for 1 night- thank goodness. Location is 5 mins walk from Lancaster gate tube station. Across the road from Hyde park. Perfect location. However the room is old and shabby. No bar in the hotel and breakfast is only continenta, you cannot upgrade. The beds have massive dips in them. I would have preferred a premier inn but... More

Thank you for your frank review. We are very pleased you enjoyed the location however this is tempered by the fact that you were disappointed with your accommodation. We generally get good feedback from our guests regarding our bedrooms. We are aware that some rooms needs to be updated and we are doing our best to put this on right.... More

I really enjoyed the location of this hotel. It is very close to Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens, which are lovely to go walking in the morning. The young staff are eager to please and extremely helpful. However, the rooms are not the greatest. The bathroom is absurd. There is no place in the shower to set your soap or... More

Thank you for taking the time to write your review. The hotel is going to be totally refurbished. We supposed to start this spring but being a listed building the bureaucracy put us on hold. The new rooms and bathrooms will have all facilities.I’m glad that we compensate through our staff your disappointment. Hopefully we will see you again another... More

Located at Lancaster Gate, this 3* hotel offers spacious rooms in typical English style. Hardly any trafic, nice reception area, historical stairway and (dated) elevator, spacious rooms, average quality beds, small and unpractical desk, free Wifi, fridge (empty), seat, bathroom with bath/shower and toilet (bit dated). The breakfast is not too bad for continental breakfast, served in -1 (partly daylight).
