Corus Hotel Hyde Park

Checked in at 12:05pm and this process was very quick, very easy and two hours before we could check in! the reception staff asked about a morning paper and explained about breakfast times and asked if I wanted to open an account on my room, this was an excellent start to our 3 day mini break in London.

Room 567 (Superior Room) here we come, plenty of lifts close to reception upto the 5th floor and then I opened the door to our (cupboard) room.

The room I have to say was very warm and very clean but also very small, my concern was if this is a superior room I really would not like to stay in a standard room.

I was unable to turn off the radiator in our room only down, we had to sleep with the A/C on all night ( It was too hot) and with the size of the room I woke with a fantastic headache the next morning ** note ** go out and put A/C on whilst your out and also sleep with window open, its quiet enough to do this.

The bathroom I thought must be massive in that case and as I opened the door I realised this was also tiny, just big enough but careful in the bath / shower as there really is not a lot of room!

The hotel location is only two minutes walk from Lancaster Gate tube station (Central Line) very useful, and has a small taxi rank outside the hotel again very useful and Hyde Park over the road (nice)

The Swan Pub is next door and a corner shop just after the pub both useful for our stay.

The staff are very polite and very helpful, breakfast is very good better than I expected to be honest and the hotel is very clean!!!

Overall, I thought the staff are very good, the location was good, the price was OK, the room was poor BUT clean, I decided not to complain because we only spent limited time in the room anyway!

I dont understand what people can complain about with this hotel! I stayed here begining of November for my 21st birthday with my mother and sister. Check-in was easy and fast, room was fine! After looking at reviews and pics on here we were abit worried, but it was really nice! Not much space for 3 of us to store and hang our clothes, but we were only there for the night. It was clean and comfortable. Nearest tube station - Lancaster Gate was approx 5 mins walkin distance. Everything else was in easy reach. We didnt eat at the hotel, so cannot comment on the food, but The Swan pub next door, does a lovely breakfast! I would deffinetly stay here again and recomend 2 other ppl...despite the drunken man shoutin outside our room at 2 oclock in the morning.

Lots of other reviews state rooms are small,I found them adequate.The Hotel has a great location,handy for the tube and if you like to walk you can walk to Harrods etc through Hyde Park or Oxford St no problem.There was a great selection at breakfast,cooked or continental.Will use this hotel next time
