Latest 5 reviews of The Lancaster Hotel
Fantastic. Should be upgraded to 5 star status.
I booked the Executive suite for 2 nights as a surprise for my sister's birthday. We were upgraded to the Royal suite. The suite was huge with large windows overlooking Hyde Park and views of the city. That was an experience of a lifetime. The Room and views were fantastic. We had a lovely dinner at the Thai Restaurant. The staff and service were excellent. I will recommend the Lancaster London to my friends and will be booking another weekend package.

Pleased I followed the recommendations
We were looking for a decent hotel, centrally located and at a reasonable price. The Lancaster fitted all our requirements and more. It is clean and while the rooms could be more spacious we were out most of the time and this is London after all. The service was great and the location fantastic being 50m from the entrance to Hyde park and 30m from Lancaster Gate underground. Paddington train station was less than 10 minutes walking. Also Oxford St was a 10 minute walk away. We found nice places to eat between the hotel and Paddington station. Overall we were very impressed and would definately go abck there.
£100 a night and no toilet in the room
When I booked I presumed that there would be an ensuite bathroom. There was a shower in the corner of the room and a sink but the toilet was across the landing - rubbish. No lift. Pillows were rock hard as well. For the price I would much prefer to stay in a travel lodge type hotel where at least you can be sure of what you are getting.
Great location, clean room and outstanding value
We found this quaint little place near The British Museum, located on a very quiet street midway between the beautifully tranquil Russell Square and Bloomsbury Square (neither one more than 100 yards from the front door). Location in Bloomsbury is outstanding, a few blocks from the Russell Square underground (Piccadilly line, direct underground to/from Heathrow). The hotel has no elevator and tight stairs, but we managed easily. Shower in our room was adequate, toilet was shared by a few rooms, but was always spotless and available. Room is small but adequate (we were there only to sleep). No air conditioning, but they do provide a fan and in-room coffee/tea. Continental breakfasts were ample and quite good. Front desk staff very polite, efficient and helpful. Certainly lacking some of the amenities one might expect of a luxury hotel (such as high speed wireless internet ), but cannot beat the value. Would definitely stay there again.
Great room, helpful staff - enjoyed the stay!
They did not have any garden rooms available, but my sister and I were given a first floor (one level above street) street-facing room. We did not have an issue with street noise beyond normal city sounds. There were one men's and one women's toilet for sharing by about three rooms - I never saw anyone else coming or going from those closest to our room, and they were always clean. The room was a bit more spacious than I expected, with a lovely little coffee/tea service station. The staff was extremely accommodating (they even found us a complimentary mending kit at a sister hotel and brought it over!) and there were no hidden charges upon check out. Internet was expensive (and not wifi), so we went without that.
Though the weather in London was pretty perfect (just around 70F most days, I think), the room did get very warm the first day/night. THEN we figured out how to open the huge windows, and did so each time we returned to the room, and the temperature was fine for the rest of the trip.
Overall, the Lancaster was a great deal in a great location, and I would stay there again. Really perfect location, two blocks over from busy Bloomsbury St, and an easy walk into the heart of the West End.
