On arrival to hotel I was very impressed with the exterior of the building. I was put in room 215. Small, smelt of smoke, small brick room beyond the room filled with bird droppings, providing the only lighted window into the room. Absolutely shocking!!! Ask to be changed and receptionist was more than happy to move us. Placed in room 204, not too bad, quite old and in need of refurbishment. Contradictory to the the beautiful exterior of building.

NIce hotel, recently renovated. Room was a great size, Bathroom was a great size too. All seemed new and modern, although the building is old and beautiful. I only had 2 complaints but they are not a big deal. The air con didn't seem to work, and there is no guide to help. Also the queen size bed was 2 double beds joined together. We stayed in a club room, it was good for what we needed. Nearly perfect

Original room was... well, yuk! But the Front of Desk staff were first-class and allowed me to change for a higher quality one. I think the issue for this hotel is Floors 5 & 6 have been refurbished and are A1. All other floors are being done but currently are... yuk! It's that simple. All common access areas are great too - have to say the location was 'fab' too, close to the Tube and Oxford Circus et al is all within minutes.

I presume hotels have special rooms they allocate for lateroom.com as this room could not seriously be charged at the full rate. The bathroom was the smallest I've ever come across, the shower was hot but where are you supposed to put wet towels other than on the floor?

Position was excellent. Close to parks and transport. Exterior belied the quality of the room. Tiny and old with poor "ensuite". I could hear the person next door snoring all night and somebody was stomping around in the room above till late in the night. Accommodation in London is expensive but I would have expected a better quality room. Meals and service were excellent. Elaine Rawiller

El hotel está situado en una zona tranquila cerca del metro con parada en Queensway y de autobús. Restaurantes cercanos de todos los tipos. Muy cerca de Hyde Park y en autobus a 15 min. del centro. Lo peor a mi gusto es que para un hotel tan grande haya un solo ascensor, una auténtica locura en horas puntas, como por ejemplo al desayunar. Tanto cuesta invertir en otro ascensor. Y los desayunos falta un poco de variedad e imaginación. De la tostada con jamón y queso o el coissante no les sacas. Las habitaciones no son amplías pero correctas. Actualizadas. Por el precio un poco de más amplitud en la habitación y el desayuno son sus puntos negativos.

The hotel room was extremely basic but clean, it was very small for 2 people and very difficult to walk around. The section of the hotel we stayed in was under renovation and there was scaffolding outside the window and we were unable to open the curtains throughout the stay, as well as workmen in the corridors throughout the day and very strong smell of paint. The room was unbearably hot for throughout the stay, this had obviously been an ongoing problem as there was a portable fan in the room, but the plug was falling apart and so at times it was difficult to get it to stay in the wall. The room was just about satisfactory but I personally would not book to stay there again. As for the rest of the hotel the reception was a high standard and the staff were polite and the food in the restaurant was good

Hotel entrance and public areas are smart and fairly impressive. All the staff we dealt with were extremely polite and very helpful. Our room was very small, sink in the room and a toilet and shower as en-suite. The furniture was old and tatty, the tv was ancient, but it worked and there was a fair selection of channels. Free wi-fi in the room. The heating was not adjustable and so it was extremely hot, but we just left the window open all day. We heard one guest complain about the heating and she was offered a change of room without any fuss. The hotel in undergoing some refurbishment but there wasn't any noise, though visible signs of work in progress were present. All in all we had a fabulous time and would definitely stay here again. £67 per night including a "help yourself to as much as you like" continental breakfast. Super! After all... we don't come to London to spend time in the hotel room.

Excellent location for shopping - a half hour walk from Oxford street. Right next to Hyde Park in a very nice area. Staff were helpful and polite. Executive rooms were very disappointing - on the ground floor with the window looking on to a very high wall. Very small with adjoining doors so every word of the neighbours could be heard. One of the rooms booked had a broken window which had been taped up but was not secure. On the plus side - constant hot water, big screen TV, nice continental breakfast. The 3 nights for 2 offer made this reasonably priced - otherwise would have expected more for the price paid.

Having said this however, the hotel is apparently currently undergoing renovation.

Great facade and foyer/bar area. However, key setting machine broken on arrival and so no key throughou stay, however staff quickly accompanied us to room any time we needed them to. Double room was tiny. Bed against wall on one side and shower only about 5 foot 4 from ground. Decor shabby in bedroom. Very stingy breakfast (continental) as only yoghurt, cheese, ham, croissant and cereal. The toaster wasnt efficient and produced only hot bread. The cooked breakfast was £5 extra and not worth the money. Feel it should have been included in room cost. Having said that the staff were generally pleasant and helpful and the location of the hotel made up for other things. However there is room for improvement.

We were upgraded to a club class room so that the comments about the room may not be in keeping with the standard rooms. Excellent buffet/continental breakfast included, could be upgraded to hot/full English for £5. Breakfast room very well serviced. Great to be able to just walk down the road to Hyde Park/ Kensington Gardens and the shops in Kensington High Street. Lovely traditional pub nearby the hotel.

This hotel was very adequate.The bar was fine, the breakfast room was well tended and clean, and the staff throughout were very helpful. The manager / asst. manager (?) was very professional in his dealings with guests and other staff.The only downsides were the lift, as there was only 1, so it was slow. I usually used the stairs to come down. It was out of order for a while one evening, which was a problem for a guest in a wheelchair. The bathroom was a little tatty, but fine.At what I paid (less than £50pn), I would come back repeatedly.

I stayed for one night on a business trip. Despite my room being opposite the lift on the 3rd flooe the place was remarkably quiet. The room was small but hey - it's a single room - how much space do you want? It was fine and pretty good value. It was clean and the bed was comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bar area was very pleasant and I sat there having a glass of wine whilst using the free wifi. Check-out was very efficient with plenty of staff available. I'd certainly stay again.

The Blakemore Hyde Park Hotel was a great place to stay. The people where very friendly and helpful. The accomdation was great couldn't ask for anything better. I didn't pay extra for the breakfast, but it did look good, but the continental one was good enough. The underground is just a short walk to it (Queensway). All destinations from there are quite easy to get to.

We stayed in this room in mid-December, and the hotel is being renovated floor by floor, with some rooms having been done on our floor. We weren't disturbed at all by renovations, but it is also clear that the rooms have not been updated since the hotel was built in 1950s-60s!! The bathroom is original, and pretty old and cruddy. However, the room was clean and secure, and the reception areas and dining room have all been updated. The position is wonderful, in a nice neighbourhood, near to Hyde Park and buses into Oxford Street. I felt that we paid a little too much considering just how old the room/floor was.

Good location for access to subway (a walk, but not too far). Room was OK - both in size and cleanliness. Best thing was the continental breakfast provided. It included good choices of roll or/and croissant, 3 or 4 choices of cereal, jams, ham and cheese and yoghurt. Hot breakfast was also available at an extra charge. Good value for money.

When I booked a single room I did not expect a broom cupboard. Absolutely no room to make a cuppa'. I could not even turn around in the shower cubicle. The grime monsters would have a field day in the shower. bed was clean and comfy, although the TV hung over the bed due to the size of room!Continental breakfast was sliced ham, cheese wedges, yoghurt and toast plus awful coffee.Thank goodness I did not pay the extra £5 to have powdered scrambled egg, bacon sausage and beans!!!!!I had planned meetings in the reception where free wifi was available, unfortunately the whole system was down whilst I endured the stay. But the duty manager provided me with tea and coffee over 4 hours whilst I was their. Just as well got it was freezing too. Its not the worst but definately would not as for a single room again.

The room I booked was a single and more like student accommodation than I expected and definately quite "tired". The sink was in the bedroom with a separate bath/shower and toilet. Nothing remotely like the room used as illustration on the website. I had to leave very early in the morning and the hot water for both the sink and the bath took an age to materialise. Having said that, the price (£44) for a central London hotel was very reasonable and the staff extremely helpful. Not an altogether disastrous experience, but not wonderful.

Moral -keep a good hold on your booking confirmation .All in all this is a good choice . For just a few pounds over budget price (for London !) you get a very clean and comfortable stay .
