Close to Bayswater Tube station

Pros: The proximity to Tube and a couple of local hotels
Cons: A porter to carry the bags.
Great location. The third floor was a drag as there was no elevator. The room was clean, the hotel was clean. We had to walk to the associated Phoenix hotel next door for breakfast, that was a drag also.

Lovely clean hotel in excellent location

Cons: This hotel really needs new pillows. The room I staying in was on the top floor and had barely any water pressure in the shower.
Reception staff are lovely and helpful, hotel is really clean and in a very convenient location, close to the tube and gardens.
