Latest 5 reviews of Mornington Hotel
Not Good
This Hotel doesn't even come up to Travel Lodge standards.
Why would you want laminate flooring in a bedroom, And then put a rug on it?! Dangerous I thought.
The shower fixings were hanging out of the wall and flooded the whole bathroom.
The wardrobe! That was a whole new experience for me.
Not even up to Travel Lodge standards, would never recommend this hotel.

Convenient location and generally good value
The Mornington Hotel is centrally located, handy for Hyde Park and Lancaster Gate tube station, and within walking distance of the Marble Arch end of Oxford Street. The frontage of the hotel is not very impressive, particularly since the hotel adjoins an empty, run-down building. However, walking through the front door restores confidence. The reception area is pleasant, if rather dreary with its abundance of dark wood. Check-in was efficient and I took the small, modern lift to the fifth floor.
The room was a decent sized single, which was reasonably cheerful in its decor and was adequately furnished (with some rough edges). Some outside noise could be heard in the room, but this was not excessive for London. Room facilities included tea and coffee making facilities in the closet, a large floor-standing fan, and an old TV with a range of satellite channels (but which didn't work). The carpet was noticeably stained/soiled infront of the bathroom door and really should have been replaced. A particular annoyance was the reading lamp which was mounted far too low on the wall above the bed - it was very easy to hit your head on it while in bed. Only one pillow was provided on the bed and there was no extra pillow in the room. However, I requested an additional pillow and some soap (which was missing) from reception, and these items were delivered very promptly. The single bed was reasonably comfortable but seemed to slope down slightly across its width, and sleeping on it felt a bit like clinging on to a ledge. The room was warm during the night and I didn't sleep very well.
The ensuite bathroom was nicely finished with a white suite including a bath (though not quite full-sized). An unusual feature of the bathroom (for a hotel room) was that it had a window. There was immediate hot water available. On the negative side, the towels were rather rough and there was little in the way of soaps/gels/shampoos provided.
Breakfast was included in the room rate and was available in the basement dining room. On walking into the breakfast room, it seemed a little chaotic, with nobody to greet you or even to serve tea/coffee and toast. The breakfast was completely self-service. Mainly cold options were available, but the choice seemed adequate and their fresh fruit yogurt was absolutely delicious. However, on the whole, I did not find the breakfast a very satisfying or relaxing experience.
This is a fairly good central London hotel (with some reservations) and at the B&B price of £62 that I paid through booking.com, it can be considered good value for money.

Not somewhere I'd choose to stay again!
I stayed here for work as there was not a lot of availability since it was last minute. The location is good and on arrival it looked pretty good. This was until you got to the room. For a 3 start hotel the room was very basic. As other's have mentioned there was a step between the room and the bathroom (for no reason) that you stub your foot on or trip over every time you go in or out the bathroom. There is no air conditioning and they did not have a fan they could give us so we kept the windows open which does make it very noisy at times, especially as the room overlooked a local pub. The floor did not have carpet and was noisy and creaked every time you moved, so not great.
The bar is tiny with a very limited selection of drinks and you felt like you were interrupting the conversation between the bar staff and her boyfriend if you dared to ask for a drink!!
Breakfast the next morning was not good at all! The breakfast room is very quiet with laminate flooring, which was really noisy as I walked to and fro the buffet table, it could really do with some background music. The fruit salad was from a tin, there was no bacon!!! and the tomatoes were in the hot buffet container but were completely raw!! All I can say about the sausages is that they were very odd! Definitely the worst breakfast experience ever! Sorry I won't be back!

Great Breakfast
I visited The mornington 2003 but I couldn't write the date of stay here correctly. The hotel was really fine, and the location is nice, next to hyde park. One thing that I remember the best is the breakfast which was really awesome. Rooms were also clean enough, a little bit of dust under beds but the most important bathroom was clean. I would recommend to a friend, although this is a bit expencive.

Extactly what we wanted
I visit London (and UK in general) for business regularily, having the privilege of staying at the higher end hotels at my client's expense. In this case however, I wanted to treat my 14-year-old daughter to a 3-day London trip, her first time there. As a father-daughter quality time trip, her expectations were high and my budget low thus I spent a lot of time checking the various hotels in the three-star range here on TripAdvisor - just to be shocked by the massive amount of unfavourable reviews in this segment! The Mornington was listed on the SAS hotel booking site, and in the end it seemed to have the least unfavourable reviews among many, and a very good price too. Having stayed at other Best Western hotels many times, I chose it.
You can say a lot about the prices of hotel rooms in London, it is expensive and that's just how it is. You can also say a lot about tiny rooms, labyrinth corridors, lack of air conditioning and maybe so-so housekeeping, but that is just how budget town-house hotels in London are, and craving travellers need to realize that.
The Mornington gave us exactly what we were looking for. Reasonable rates, convenient location and most of all - I sent a message to the hotel asking for a smoking room but, also a room next to my daughter - who of course needs non-smoking. Much to my surprise, that is what we got and it made me very happy. The room had a small desk where I could hook up to free wireless network and relax after my daughter went to bed, the bathroom was clean and equipped with the necesssary basics. The bed was fully adequate and, the reception was beautiful in classic British library / club style. My daughter found a spider in her bed, which just proves the earth is a live planet. Probably got in through the open window.
We chose the rate without breakfast; I find it much nicer to find a local street cafe in the mornings, looking at the hustle and bustle. Hotel breakfasts are always over-priced, wherever in the world you are.
I have only one small observation: While the evening reception staff was smiling and welcoming, the receptionist who received us on arrival Tuesday afternoon was business-like and expressionless. Small thing, but a welcoming smile is so effortless and makes a difference!
We had a wonderful stay in London, and will not hesitate to book this hotel again.
