Royal Court Apartments Reviews

I got an update to Bedsit with separate kitchen on the third floor. Very clean and comfortable. As on the frontside unfortunately very loud because of the traffic, also when you have your windows closed. I have been the fifth time in this hotel, mostly at the rear side. Try to get a room at the rear side,

Excellent location, very friendly and competent staff. Excellent value for a two bedroomed apartment, newly refurbished bathroom. The communal areas a little tired, with new carpets needed, and a bit of a dodgy lift...take the stairs.

Good value for money.Very close to tube station and to Hyde Park.
Noisy from street, but it is London and we expected it,so not a problem. Nice en-suite with bath which was nice suprise.
However,bed was uncomfortable as was the sofa. However,not in room much so ok. Also quite spacious which was unexpected in London.

Would of like to of been told when booking room that to have breakfast we had to go over the road to another hotel. Room and hotel need a major face lift and upgrade.

Stayed here for one night for 65pounds. Staff voluntarily upgraded me to a family apartment! Great location for west end and Hyde park. Hotel is ok. Decor is a bit faded 80s, could use a lick of paint, but it was clean with fresh towels etc. Bed was comfortable. Wouldn't take a hot date here, but will certainly use it again for quick trips to the capital and will recommend to friends.

The hotel itself is clean and tidy and is situated in a good location. The rooms are very basic and slightly worn, my wardrobe door was missing and the electric heater didnt work. The bed was comfy and i had a good nights sleep. The shower was not very powerful and the door didnt close propely, however it was clean.

The bathroom is lovely. The staff is very helpful and friendly. It is also quite central and it is possible to get pretty much everywhere in London for around £13. We could have easily staid longer if it was not for having to go back to work.

Very good value

No Comment Left

The receptionist was excellent, very friendly. The room was rather old fashioned and slightly musty, but the room was large and clean. The TV didn't work properly, but it was very good value for money and a great location.

Good value for what it was, excellent location, walls are bit thin and the windows don't keep the noise out but it's a quiet neighbourhood so no great problem. Would stay here again.

Had an apartment on the 5th floor. Clean and quiet. Good value accommodation

Stayed for one night, room was modern and great for the price. Great location, easy to get to tourist attractions by tube and bus. The reception was nice and modern although the hallways need modernizing and began worrying us. Really surprised by the room! Only thing didn't like was we had to give our room key to reception when going out the apartments.

Its in a great location and the price for the size was ok. But it was smelling of old, Well it is an old and tired apartment(large attic room).

Basic and a bit shabby, but perefctly adequate, good value and good location very near tube.

Location very good, but on arrival they said that we had 2 upgrades. I made a reservation for a studio, but we got a 1 bed room apartment. BUT there were 2 separate single beds and the room was so small that we could not even put the bed next to each other!!!!

Room looks like newly decorated. Clean and tidy. Very quiet. Highly recommended.

The hotel is in a great position for paddington, westend etc. staff friendly. the rooms could do with a bit of decoration but we got what we paid for and we were happy. i would stay again

Ok for the price - clean and quiet. Shower needs a thermostat to help get the temperature right. Very kind and helpful staff at the desk. Lift goes to floor 4, so expect a walk if you're on the 5th floor.

I stayed in Royal Court Apartments with my friend in a twin suite. The room itself was well equipped - kitchenette with cutlery, crockery, hob and microwave and comfortable seating area and the room was comfortable. However, it was quite shabby and had seen better days. The place looked quite tired, although it was clean, and in need of some attention. The bathroom was really nice and well tiled, but the shower head was basic and hanging out of the wall on one raw plug. Definitely in need of a make over.
The corridor had some bags of laundry lying around from housekeeping, and first thing in the morning we had to climb out of the lift over a pile of toilet cysterns and building equipment.
However, the staff at reception were friendly and helpful.
A big issue to be aware of is that there are No local shops to buy food so be prepared for quite a trek before you can make a snack in the kitchenette! We ended up walking for 30 minutes until we got to Bayswater before we found some a Tesco Metro and a Sainsburys - there are no local newsagents or convenience stores any closer than that as it is just a residential area. We ended up coming back on the Underground (two stops) back to Lancaster Gate as we didn't have the energy to walk all the way back!!
All in all, it was an ok room for £80 and geographically perfect for Kensington Gardens which was only a few minutes walk away, but definitely Not worth the full amount that it should have cost.

Nothing flash, as expected. A descent sized room with mini kitchen (which I didnt use). Room was clean and tidy. Walls v thin so sounds could be heard from next room, but it didnt affect my stay.

I had a huge room/studio apartment which was well appointed and comfortable. The rack rate was something ludcrious like £300 a night - but I got it for £75, great value and would have accomodated a family of four. The downside was the noise - no aircon and a hot night, so the windows stayed open until I could put up with it no longer. Even with the windows closed it was less than peaceful. Ideal if you can get it well discounted and are taking the kids to London, or if you have good earplugs.

The staff were really friendly and helpful to the extent that even though we arrived 3hours earlier than the advertised check-in time they were more than happy to store our luggage (of which we had quite a bit!)
We had booked a studio apartment which was much larger than we thought it might be and had good facilities. Just one warning - there is no oven or grill in the kitchen but there is a toaster and microwave.
Great location as the nearest tube station is only a two minute walk away and Hyde Park is just across the road. We would definitely recommend this place if you are after competitively priced self-catering accommodation within easy reach of Central London.

Location near Lancaster Gate tube. On bus route to Oxford St. or Notting Hill, opposite Hyde Park..
Reception area fine but hotel needs refurbishment.
Rooms small, seperate bedrooom and kitchen. Bathroom awkward (no bath plug). Very hot, no ac, couldn't open window.
Went on Sunday night only so "cheap" deal £49. Price on other nights £200. Not worth more than £49 - use Travelodge. Wouldn't stay again unless desperate.

The apartment was grear value for money. We didnt appreciate when booking this that we not only had a separate kitchen but it was a large room with table and television in it much like having our own living room.
The staff were friendly the room was clean though a bit tired looking. Was looking to stay there again near Xmas but it is full

On entering the room my partner and i were greeted wit a horrible smell of sewage. We assumed if emanated from the toilet/bathroom so we shut that door immediately. We went into the room around 2am and The room was very warm and there was no air conditioning or fan. The windows external sides were covered in dust and looked like they hadn't been cleaned for a few years. Considering i was getting a whole apartment for 80 on a Friday evening and it's location was very accessible, it was reasonable value for money

Very pleasant receptionist. The room I booked was a double but they gave us a single. We were too tired to complain so we just left it. The next morning we noticed that there were two dirty socks covering both the smoke detectors in the room.
Apart from those two minor things it seemed like a nice hotel.

Was a bit nervous arriving at a hotel just west of central London that did rooms for £80 a night, however this is a great little hotel.
Obviously you are not paying for lavish luxuries here, but the room was clean, not too cramped, and we could not find anything wrong with it. We only stayed for one night but could happily stay for a week or so. Friendly staff on reception, great location, probably the best place in London if you are on a budget. I have stayed in hotels that are shocking bad in comparison for much more than £80 a night. Would highly recommend.

Dirty shabby reception area. Smell of musty dirty carpets. We were on the 5th floor - there was a very rickety lift to the 4th then a flight of stairs. There were ladders and dust sheets abandoned on stair case. Bathroom had dirty shower and no toilet rolls. Kitchinette/ living room and bedrooms were clean. Extremely overpriced for inferior accommodation with poor service.

The Royal Court Apartments are conveniently located with Paddington or Lancaster Gate tube only a 3-5 min walk away. There are plenty of restaurants around to try out but if you are there on business and just fancy putting your feet up in front of the TV with a shove-in the microwave dinner, having a kitchen is ideal. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Rooms at the front are a little noisy if its hot and you need to open the window

Perfect location and quiet for london one of the few times i have had a good nights sleep in a central london hotel

We stayed in a room that hadn't been refurbished for what seemed, some considerable time.
It was fine for what we needed (a place to sleep and shower) but it wasn't a room we could of sat and relaxed in really. The bed was comfy, tea and coffee making facilities were fine, it was quiet too (but quite busy outside - cars, trucks etc through the night) and the room was Very warm but we were thankful that we could fully open the windows to let some relatively cool air in!
The room is in desperate need of updating, all through. The shower was good, towels were replenished daily. Good location (for Hyde Park etc)
We would stay there again, but would definately not want to be in that room again. Carpet was in need of replacing, dated furnishing and creaky floors, but we got what we paid for, staff were very nice and it's a great base for exploring. We walked to Maddamme Tussauds within about 45 minutes and ten mins to Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens.
So, advice would be, great budget place to sleep and shower and a good base to explore from.

I was mislead by a customer review that said 'peaceful'! My room was at the front, on Gloucester Terrace, and there is constant traffic noise, so I had to have window shut on a stifling night. And still you hear the traffic. I did ask for a room at the back, but none available.
It's a bit shabby, bathroom a bit smelly, but useful mini-kitchen in room, and charming staff.

This room in central london cost £49. it was a clean self contained studio apartment with everything there that you possibly would want. Can't fault it!

Wanted accommodation close to Hyde Park as we were attending a concert there. Searched on late rooms and found this accommodation for a very good price. Requested a twin bedded studio apartment but when we checked in we were given a one bedroom apartment with double bed and a camp bed in the lounge. I asked at reception if they had a twin bedded room available and we were offered a twin bedded one bedroom apartment which was quite spacious with a recently refurbished bathroom. Our apartment was located on the fourth floor so we did not hear the traffic noise below, however as this is an old building we did notice that that our floor and the floor above us did have squeaky floorboards so could disturb other guests. But overall for the price we paid and the location (3 minutes walk from Lancaster Gate tube station) we were pleased and would probably use these apartments again when in London.

Clean and modern, but very compact, accommodation - very close to Hyde Park entrance (went to a gig there). I'd stay here again for another gig but not for a 'relaxing break'. Price was cheaper via Laterooms but very expensive at normal rates; although this is central London so what do you expect?! Had to order a pizza from a local takeaway and use glasses from our room in the bar when we ordered drinks (odd?!).

2nd stay at this hotel in 2 weeks, again good nights sleep, newly renovated room perfect for our needs. great location. i had made a booking mistake on the number of people in the room but they didnt charge us more. this will from now on be our base for visiting london

Tthe rooms although on surface clean they smelt dusty..The decoration needed attention . Overall the appartemt needed a revamp and some tender loving care. The kitchen facilitews for this type of accommodation were ok.The ice making facilty in fridge were non existant.

We had an excellent stay at Royal View. Apartment, although in a busy area of London, was lovely and peaceful. Customer service was first class! We got upgraded from the one bedroom apartment we had booked, to a two bed apartment - at no extra cost! Living area was very large and comforable, kitchen area well equipped, clean and tidy. Overall an excellent experience, and we will definitely return again on our next visit to London.

I checked into my room and was pleasantly surprised with the facilities available and the general decor of the room. When I came to switch the TV on it would not work so I reported this to reception. As they were unable to repair the TV and I was staying at the hotel on my own, they kindly upgraded me into a 3 bedroomed apartment with a TV that did work. I was really pleased with this upgrade.
