Blakemore Hyde Park

Staying on business and this is a Great hotel just 5 mins from Paddington station. Arrived late but was given an upgrade to a junior suite which was really well appointed and comfortable. Breakfast next morning was also good

Breakfast is good, room/ bed is comfortable. TheWe used the mini fridge and would have appreciated use of a microwave to reheat restaurant takeout.

Staff friendly and helpful.Hotel was quiet and is in an excellent location. Ideal for underground and bus routes into Central London. Have stayed there before and will definitely return.

Room noisy on ground floor

When researching my stay in London, I had noticed that few hotels received higher ratings Reviewers rated the Blakemore as "Very Good" so I gave it a try. The good: From other hotel reviews, a common complaint of London Hotels was small room size. My room was a comfortable, adequate size. The Front Desk accommodated me on several issues which I appreciated: there are ongoing renovations, mostly on the ground floor currently. They gave me a room on the fifth floor which was mosly far enough from the noise. Also, my room was very cold the first night. Front Desk provided a space heater and turned on the wall heat which I was unaware of. The continental breakfast was more than I anticipated, though there was no variation (what can you do). Breakfast room personnel friendly and helpful. The not so good: I thought I saw somewhere that the rooms were renovated, though it may have been a reviewer. This was certainly not the case for my room....it was simply too banged up: ratty curtains, flickering ambience lighting, damaged bathroom sink drain At night with the curtains closed, the room is rather dark even with all lighting turned on. hotels.com describes the room as having a shower/tub combination. My room just had a shower. Most concerning was the numerous interruptions toward the end of my stay. Someone knocked on my door 3 times in the matter of 2 days! Housekeeping inspection, air conditioning guy, etc. I wondered if I was even being observed!
