Blakemore Hyde Park, London

We had a very enjoyable stay at a great place with great location.

I booked the Blaymore after it caught my eye when I’d put ‘pool’ in the search ( engine. Although it didn’t have a pool, I still booked it. A nice hotel within walking distance to 3 tube stations. So ideal if you’re going to a range of places in London. The bathroom is lovely. I loved the lights. The beds are very comfy too. I’d read one of the reviews that said that. It’s important to have a comfy bed.

This is my favorite hotel in London; the area has a very good number of restaurants, TESCOs, etc. and is easily accessible via Central and Circle/District lines through nearby stations. Kensington Gardens Park is couple of minutes away. Very convenient to reach Heathrow through Paddington Station as well. The hotel service is nice but can be improved as rooms are inconsistent and not all of them contain a side douche in the bathroom. I got a smaller room than what I have booked for but challenged the reception with my previous knowledge of the room and got it swapped as per my reservation. If you are heavily relying on the elevator, the hotel has 2 elevators that seems not to be efficient and you have to wait long to get one down in the morning. For some reason, the reception elevator took you always to the basement regardless of pressing "G." The Check-in/Check-out policy is very strict but you could always store your luggage free of charge at the reception.

Great spot for attending Hyde Park events, lovely hotel and great service
