We stayed 6 nights,had the same breakfast each day,fan didn't work properly when it was hot,but, the staff were helpful,near 2 stations, 5 min to bus ,opposite park, still think it was expensive, especially when you are counting in Aussie dollars..lol Isn't real flash. Aussie traveller..............

Stayed two nights in a very tiny room in this Bayswater hotel. The bathroom was neat and clean which was a positive. There was no air conditioning so the room would be unbearable in Summer. Curtains were showing their age and the carpet was not unlike a kitchen carpet. The pedestal fan (attached to the wall) was going all the time. It was a single room that had just enough storage facilities. Breakfast was reasonably good with a nice choice of cereals, two juices plus tea or coffee. The hot meal comprised beans, two hash browns and an egg plus three slices of toast. The hot meal could have been more appetising with bacon and maybe a sausage. It was not a typical English "fry up", but close to it. Reception staff were pleasant and the kitchen staff though lacking good English were helpful. If you are a fussy traveller, then this hotel is not for you. If you are on a budget and prepared to rough it just a bit in a part of London that is close to a number of attractions and two tube stations then it might work for you.

We didn't find a rat, but we didn't have a night's peace in the week we were there. Late-night partying of noisy neighbors made it difficult to sleep. Even after changing rooms we had the same problem. Rooms are tiny and poorly laid out. The staff was politely unhelpful with all requests. Do yourself a favor and pay a little more for something you'll enjoy.

The night I stayed at the Park Lodge I found either a rat or a mouse in my room. (The rodent was quick.) I went downstairs to the lobby to get another room but they didn't have one available. The porter suggested that I sleep with the lights on. I ended up going to the hotel next door and requested a refund. I did not get that refund until I contacted the travel bureau who made the reservation for me. It seems strange to me that the hotel didn't act quickly and appropriately to avoid bad publicity.
