Glendale Hyde Park Hotel

Really bad hotel , staff was wonderful which was a saving grace . The room i stayed in had not safety was un hygienic really small . No amenities Would never stay there again .

The reviews really worried me about this place, but I'll tell you why I loved it and will probably rebook the next time I'm in London.1) Location! It's a 7 minute walk from Paddington Station2) Value! It was by far the lowest price we could find.3) Quiet! We had the semi-basement room (but still had a large window). It was so quiet we didn't even hear birds chirping.4) Family Friendly! We needed to store milk overnight for the baby and they had a mini fridge. They also provided a pack n play for baby to sleep in.5) Even though our room wasn't big, we had a huge shelf to store our things. It was super convenient.6) Staff was always super nice to us and my husband liked that it was staffed 24/7.Cons:The doorway was too narrow for our stroller (uppababy), so we had to fold it to bring it in/out of the room.The room is very very small. If you've been to NYC or Paris, think that size. You can almost touch the walls when you're still on the bed.Stairs with no elevator.Bathroom is small, but I mean it's a bathroom okay.

Scummy business.Gave these guys over a months notice of cancellation and they still wanted to charge full amount.You think someone with brains would want at least negotiate a cancellation charge so someone else could use the room.

Pros:Location - 6 min walk from Paddington MetroBus linesShops and restaurantsModern rooms and lobbyClean-ish (lots of dust everywhere)Bed is quite comfy, and bouncyTv and heater worksCons:V small rooms and bathrooms- do not book unless you’re a midget or BMI under 24.Drains - Sink does not drain, shower does not drain - wouldn’t mind if it was a bath but it wasn’t. The Mrs is a swamp monster so she didn’t mind- she said “this is a petite jacuzzi”.Staff member - asked the receptionist for towels, he said they’d already been delivered- I said yes they tried but I couldn’t answer. He said again, that they’d been delivered - I didn’t have the heart to tell him I was 6 inches deep in the Mrs and couldn’t open the door. Eventually, after a judgmental look, he agreed to give me the towels.Also, smelly towels

Phenomenal location near Kensington/Hyde Park - Felt like being abroad so relaxed and scenic - Gorgeous location very clean and well kept apartment - Secure building and spacious with the comfiest beds ever!

Unfortunately the water was working let alone the hot water and I was unable to have a shower during my stay. The manager of the hotel refused to give me a refund as apparently it was their fault but was aware of a neighbour stoppage but didn’t think or feel the need to let their guest know that there was no water supply for x amount of time. Do not stay here!

Strange place overall, rooms very small/cramped but clean enough and done the job. Wouldn’t wanna stay here if there was more than one travelling no real room to move in the basement rooms.Good location though. I’d pay slightly more next time and stay elsewhere.
