this hotel is not a recommended one. For those whom usually stayed in Holiday Inn or 4 stars hotel anywhere in the world, please don't choose this hotel. It won't offer you that COMFORT and luxury touch! We stucked in our room for quite some time since the booking was made from hotel.com website. I was feeling horrible all the way during our stay. The room was so small.. in fact can just fit in one queen size bed, toilet area, dress table, tv bench and small corner for bags. I had to move things around to make space for prayer. That was bad! Breakfast was bad too. Been served same menu 3 days.. plain yogurt, prune, cereals, cheese slice and croissant+bread slice. In next 3 days.. just change the prune to pineapple cubes! arrggghh... So please consider Holiday Inn Hyde Park for same convenient- close to tube station and other transport access.

The place is owned by a Malaysian Company and judging from the decor has been decorated to Malayan tastes but the reception is grand enough. Reception staff all exclusively eastern European so don't bother asking any questions about tourists sights or local restaurants. The room where we stayed is small and felt a bit stuffy. When we asked for the remote control for the aircon we were told it would cost ?20. No way. We did however plug the aircon in and switched it on (without thermostat control). Breakfast was average. Many Malaysian tourists milling around. Plus points are the location. Very nice leafy street away from the hassle and bustle. If you just want a basic bed for the night then its fine. Overall judgment, I wouldn't stay there again unless I got a really good deal for less than ?70 per night.

We booked this hotel months in advance. When we arrived the rude Russian front desk lady told us that their computer system had crashed and our reservation could not be found. She tried to direct us to another, cheaper sister hotel. For the same price, of course. We insisted on staying there. Bad idea. She put us in a closet sized room that smelt of waste. The worst breakfast ever is included. Run by Muslims who seem to hate westerners, and this place is filthy, cramped, and just plain a dump.
