Buena ubicación y personal muy amable.
Habitación muy vieja, ducha incómoda metido junto a la cama pero separado del resto del baño.
Beliggenhed. Ro på hotellet. Ikke larm fra gaden.
Gammelt. Dårlige faciliteter. Den ene seng var ved at falde fra hinanden. Vægge og gulve bar præg af at være meget gamle og lidt beskidte.
The room was surprisingly modern and clean, given the condition of the rest of the hotel. A new clean bathroom clean bedding and towels
the general state of the building was dirty and neglected. The carpet in the main entrance area was dirty, there needed to be a vast amount of redecoration, the paintwork was in a very bad state. The stairs were very steep, very narrow and circular. We were on the top fourth floor with no lift. My friend has asthma. It was a struggle. No help with anything. I am surprised it conformed to H & S REGULATIONS. I was relieved we were only staying 1 night. If a fire had broken out, we wouldnt have had a chance. One of the lights in the bedroom flickered off and on all night. It disturbed our sleep. The caretaker said he didnt have the tools to fix it. We were told shortly beforehand that breakfast wouldmt be avaialble on site, as planned.
The location is great. The room is comfortable and includes everything I need.
When I booked, breakfast was included. When I arrived I was informed there was new management and they'd closed the kitchen at The Parkwood. Please bear in mind I would have paid for the breakfast in the overall bill. In compensation I was offered either a late check-out or breakfast in a property 15 to 20 minutes away. Late check-out is just annoying. I had to be at St Pancras station to catch a train by 9 am. Parkwood management would have known a late check-out offer was unlikely to be accepted. Re going to the other place for breakfast: come on! I average walking 18 kilometres a day in London, yes I've measured it. Do you think I want to start my day by walking 15 minutes in the wrong direction for a breakfast I'd booked to eat on the premises of Parkwood Hotel? No! A small refund would have been fair and appropriate. A measly 20 pounds refund would have been enough to earn my loyalty but no. My room wasn't cleaned the day before I was due to leave and I found a long, coarse hair on the sink. Not my hair. Finally, the staff were very nice but I asked if a taxi could be called to take me to the station. In the past Parkwood Hotel has had contact with reliable drivers. I was told to call an uber or just go down to the main road and hail a taxi. I'm not using my mobile phone. I'm from Australia. Every time I use my mobile my telco charges me $12. The final detail: it was raining.
Koselig lite hotell i stille område. Gammelt og ganske slitt, men veldig sentralt nær Marble Arch og rent og ordentlig. Hotellet har også en liten patio med stoler og bord hvor man faktisk kan sitte ute i fred ro.
Omgjøring kvelden før ankomst til at det likevel ikke var frokost pga. nye drivere. Litt vel knirkete dører og senger. Minus for vask i gangen og ikke på badet.
L'emplacement
Hôtel vétuste , pas de produit de toilette dans la salle de bain. Le petit déjeuner était compris dans la chambre, mais à prendre dans un autre hôtel à 25mn à pied.
Läget
Att de avbokade frukosten på hotellet. Vi blev erbjudna att gå 20 minuter enkel väg och äta frukost på ett annat hotell
Location was good
Should of been told well in advance about the change of ownership and that breakfast was in a different hotel
Location and staff were great. BUT this is dark, dirty, run down, teeny tiny rooms
Room is for 2 but we had to climb over the bed to get past each other, bathroom sliding door doesn’t close all the way, tiny shower stall with gross plastic curtain, dark, hot, awful mattress lump and squeaky , smells like cheap stinky cleaning chemicals.
Location, beds, power plugs, staff.
The shower, which was so small that we (unaffectionately) called it THE DRIP.
Desayuno muy pobre, tipo inglés y de continental nada! Poca variedad.
No hay ascensor. Hay que subir y bajar escaleras, a veces con el equipaje-
- Emplacement top - hôtel à taille humain - bagagerie - possibilité d’avoir la chambre dès notre arrivée - personnel très agréable et souriant - petit déjeuner correct étant donné qu’il est inclus dans le prix de la chambre
Hôtel dans son jus et rustique mais typique anglais et pas d’ascenseur
Die Lage ist großartig, das Personal ist freundlich und sehr zuvorkommend. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, auch wenn die Treppen herausfordernd waren.
Eigentlich nur, dass der Kühlschrank nicht wirklich gekühlt hat. Aber es war dennoch besser, als die Sachen draußen zu lagern.
Perfect location The stuff was very polite and always with a smile in their faces Very clean Had the feeling we lived in a house and not in a hotel Good breakfast
Too many stairs
location, fridge in room and breakfast, lovely towels and bedding
8 flights of stairs with no lift, cockroaches found in breakfast area and on plates, kitchen and reception staff made aware. Water pressure minimal. every single handle hanging off wardrobe and bedside table, clean but could do with repainting
Der Charme und die Nähe zum Stadtkern.
Etwas in die Jahre gekommen, aber liebevoll eingerichtet.
Location Location Location - ideal for Marble Arch tube stop and Hyde Park for summer concerts! Good choice of late night eateries and bars! 💙💙💙 The breakfast and staff were amazing! 💙💙
It needs modernised throughout
Felt so welcoming and everyone was very kind to us, the location was great and so was the breakfast!
Due to an issue I decided to cancel my stay after a few hours, the staff has been extremely helpful.
Rooms and bathrooms are very old and need revamping.

Fräscha rum, trevlig personal så lätt att gå till allt. Sötaste vakthunden.
Lyhört och lukta starkt mat från källaren. Lite känslig.
Das Personal ist so unglaublich freundlich und liebenswert gewesen. Außerdem war alles soweit sauber. Aufgrund der hohen Hitze haben wir gleich zwei Ventilatoren im Zimmer gehabt. Die U-Bahn Station ist nicht weit weg und in wenigen Minuten waren wir auch zu Fuß schon in der Oxford Street oder im Hyde Park. Direkt in der Nähe gibt es auch mehrere gute Möglichkeiten fürs Abendessen oder den schnellen Einkauf für Zwischendurch.
Das Zimmer war etwas klein, aber noch okay. Die Matratzen waren schon deutlich durchgelegen, da wäre es gut, wenn in neue investiert werden würde.
Breakfast and location and staff
Very old fashioned and in need of a lot of repairs and updating

Ein süßes kleines Hotel in einer Top Lage und trotzdem ruhig.... 👍 Eine kleine Dachterrasse gibt es auch, wo man auch rauchen darf. Die Mitarbeiter sind sehr freundlich
Desayuno Amabilidad personal Nos dejaron hacer checkin antes de tiempo Ubicacion
Location
Very early check out time
This is a very good location with good access to central London.
The breakfast area was a bit rundown. Spongey floors and the food was average.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent location, very quiet at night. Good breakfast.
Very small double bed. Bathroom and shower cramped. Generally needs modernisation.
Cosy, comforatble room...excellent Engish breakfast!
No airconditioning.
Posizione straordinaria
Hotel un po’ fatiscente
Mega sødt personale og super beliggenhed
Ret beskidt !!! Møblerne beskidte, mærkelige lugte, skimmelsvamp på badeværelse, interiør ødelagt/i stykker, tv virker ikke, dørene kan ikke åbne helt, afløbet tilstoppet. Men altså - personalet er mega flinke og beliggenheden er god.
Very friendly staff Room was good and beds comfortable
30 degree heat and no Aircon We did have a fantastic but it's no substitute
Le full English Breakfast, l'emplacement et le calme.
Rien
Staff were amazing, helped us swap rooms to be comfortable and kindly took our luggage to the new room. Great location for BST Hyde Park. Fridge and fans in room appreciated in the heatwave
Bit dated but didn't bother us too much
Perfect location for Hyde Park and Oxford street. Breakfast had a good choice and catered for gluten free
Weather was exceptional hot and the room was stifling because no air con
The staff and the location were brilliant very close to Hyde Park and multiple tube stations and Paddington a short 10/15 min walk Bedding was fresh and had fridge, wardrobe, and TV but we didn’t stay to spend time in the room was just a stop off place to sleep and keep our stuff while we went out around London. Short 15 min walk to Marlybone good for access to Wembley
It was very hot the week we stayed and even with the window wide open it was absolutely boiling in the room, the whole room was tired and run down, skirt boards rotting, very dated decore
Breakfast was ok. The location was the best thing about this hotel
The bathroom and shower were awful. Once you managed to squeeze through the bathroom door by squashing up against the toilet, you had a trickle of a shower in a very old marked and worn tiny cubicle. Lots of limescale and bad attempts at patching grout and sealant. The sink which was in the entrance hall was also badly marked.
Great location and ok price.
Shower didn’t really work. Tv didn’t work. V aged inside and needs a proper tidy up and deep clean. Breakfast room felt like a cramped dungeon!
Friendly clean and a great breakfast and vey convenient location for our plans
Nothing
Location
Old, small, dusty
Good location right beside Hyde park
No aircon and 30 degree heat wasn’t the best. Shower in room was terrible zero water pressure. Property needs work and updating drastically too many shoddy repairs. Even ironing board was broken.
Location excellent
Breakfast area cramped and busy. Very tired decor and bathroom.
Really friendly receptionist. Fantastic location for BST in Hyde Park. Room was really comfortable, with a fan next to the bed.
Very friendly and excellently located hotel. We were upgraded and given room on ground floor. 20 minute walk from Marylebone. Good breakfast and hotel has everything you need. Would recommend and definately come again
Local to Hyde park
X
:Room was ok , but lots mark all over the wall , patched up ceiling about the bed , room look very shabby but very clean at the same time :Staff very friendly , lovely people :Breakfast was very tasty , once again staff very friendly :Location perfect
Room at the very top , too many steps to climb
Location Personal simpático
Llaves de la habitación, difícil abrir la puerta
The property was a very good location for the event at Hyde Park.
The property was dated in decoration, furniture old and the shower was located in a cupboard space in the bedroom. The shower head needed replacing, with a water trickle.There was an outdoor patio area from the room, which was useful as the windows wouldn't open to offer some air.
Location was great for Hyde Park. Breakfast was ok for a buffet full English. External terrace was a bonus.
The room was a bit dated. Breakfast could be better with more choices e.g mushrooms, hash browns.
The staff were lovely, friendly and helpful (and so was the reception dog) ☺️ Location was great for the BST hyde park festival Breakfast was a great bonus for me as i hadn’t realise it was included, so great value for money The room had everything we needed
Great breakfast and lovely staff
No AC and no lift
Perfect location for accessing Hyde Park. Friendly staff. Rooms clean & comfortable. Small fridge in room was useful. Nice breakfast.
Bathroom was in serious need of updating. Shower was just a trickle. Shower door had been replaced by a curtain which couldn't be moved but let water out on to bathroom floor. Steep stairs inside property, including down to breakfast room in basement, so not suitable for anyone with mobility issues. More choices needed for breakfast to compete with other hotels.
Great location for BST at Hyde Park
Decor a bit tierd
Was told breakfast served until 10am arrived at breakfast at 0930 that breakfast was over although they did make something
Nothing was wrong
Good location. Staff were friendly. Old period house that could look fantastic.
Shower wasn't good. Hotel wasn't clean. No air con. Room was very hot. Oil radiator with failed test on it. Maintenance very poor in general. Alot of stairs for older people.
Great ro have a freshly cooked breakfast, thank you! A great start to the day! Receprionust lovely!
The rooms are very dated and in need of sprucing up.
The location and staff were perfect
Tired
Excellent location for hide park. Lovely clean rooms
Bit dated but not an issue
De ligging van het hotel, zijstraat Hydepark en op loopafstand van Oxford Street en de metro/bus en evt fietsen voor de deur te huren via een app. Heel leuke, nette buurt. De koffers kunnen worden achtergelaten bij uitcheck zodat je deze niet met je mee hoeft te nemen als je nog de hele dag van de stad kunt genieten voordat je naar huis gaat. Zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel, heel relaxed.
Geen airco, ramen niet vergrendeld... Het waren twee extreem hete dagen in Londen, dus we konden/durfden het raam niet open te houden als we weg waren omdat als iemand zou willen, de kamer ongezien kon binnentreden aan de achterkant- en de zon stond de hele tijd op het raam, dus een zeer benauwde kamer bij terugkomst laat op de avond ...
Nice comfy beds, friendly staff, good breakfast
While clean and all facilities the hotel needs modernising with new decor and fixtures
PERFECT LOCATION IN TOWN, VERY FRIENDLY STAFF. IT IS NICE THE FEELING OF THE FAMILY CONDUCTING BUSINESS
UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONING AND WE HAPPENED TO STAY IN THOSE EXTREMELY HOT DAYS. THE BATHROOMS NEED A SERIOUS REDOING. CLEAN BUT .-... ALMOST UNUSABLE. THE ENTIRE STRUCTURE NEED SERIOUS RENOVATION
Tout le personnel est adorable. L’hôtel est un peu rétro mais confortable avec tout le nécessaire. L’emplacement était parfait pour nous et très centrale.
Location
Hard bed. Weird floor in the breakfast room. Very hot bedroom - but they did provide an extra fan!
Friendly staff
Small room overcrowded with furniture, not air conditioned, too many stairs
Vriendelijk mensen aan de receptie
We kregen zeer oude kamer in de kelder. Onderhoud kamer was niet goed. Geen airco (stond wel in beschrijving), maar met 40 graden niet doenbaar zonder airco. Andere kamer waar deur open stond zag er beter uit.
Posizione
Struttura fatiscente e bagno sporco; senza aria condizionata. Non è un vero hotel ma una casa riadattata.
At 3-rd floor level, water pressure in the shower was really weak, after all day walki g and dancing at festival, good shower is needed. But every different part was great, staff, breakfast, localization, clean room etc.
Just water pressure in the shower
The hotel exceeded my expectations. Previous reviews said about the place being run down slightly but the areas we saw looked amazing. The bed was firm but very comfy to sleep on. Plenty of tea and coffee facilities in the room. Breakfast tasted amazing with plenty of toast brought to the table. We stayed there for BST Hyde Park and it was literally a few minutes walk away. Even if we just wanted to visit the area, we would choose this hotel again. Staff are very friendly and managed to meet the cute little dog before we left.
Nothing, it was one of the best places I've stayed at.
Gode senge
Ingen air condition, slidte værelser, specielt badeværelset
Kind and friendly staff
The hotel was not what we were expecting, it’s quite tatty and shabby. Our room looked dirty and in desperate need of renovation. No air conditioning so it was hot and the room had a bad smell. In the end we left after 10 minutes and booked into a different hotel. I can’t recommend this hotel as we didn’t want to stay there and left.
Great friendly staff, decent location near sainsburys and bond street underground, clean hotel.
Rooms a little hot despite fans provided, stairs quite steep but nothing major
Very good breakfast. The staff couldn't have been more helpful. Good inexpensive restaurants nearby.
Lage ist günstig, Bushaltestelle zu Fuss leicht erreichbar
Kein Aufzug, Frühstückt -sehr begrenzte Auswahl
Fabulous property
Bra läge
Great location, decent breakfast.
Place needs a full refit not just a coat of paint.
There was nothing that I liked except the location.
The bathroom was dirty it was very small and I could hardly get into the shower
De locatie
Het gebouw is er oud en in slechte staat, veel oud en viezig tapijt en oncomfortabel
Great location next to tube and buses. Fabulous value form money being next to Hyde park/Oxford road.
If you want more than a basic en suite room and breakfast this hotel is not for you. If you just want a place to crash and can accept going up a few flights of stairs this place is great
The location is excellent, quiet but really central. Just across the road from Hyde Park and close to bus services as well as Marble Arch Tube station. Walking distance to Oxford street. The linen, towels etc were clean and good quality.
Its London and it's an old building, so it was a bit wonky, you can expect that. However, in our case that meant the bathroom door would not stay closed. The breakfast was very basic, not much variety.
