Central Park Hotel London

( 3 stars , London , United Kingdom )

- I have very, very poor experience with hotel staff.

Absolutly to recommend for this nice price. Little minus about breakfast. Only jam and small bread..well well.. We'll come back later :-) Roar from Norway

What I disliked about this hotel was that when we came back from our tours around london, we saw that our rooms were not clean. The hotel had very poor service regarding housekeeping, they didn't do what they were supposed to.

+ Great location, clean, pleasant environment - We were expecting breakfast to be included - when we went to reception, we were told it was no longer included - receptionist very matter of fact and also kept me waiting doing other things when i first arrived

+ A very friendly and helpful staff

The hotel was located near Kensington Palace and across the street fom Hyde Park. The tube and 2 bus stops are 2 blocks from the hotel and are quite convienient. London is huge and I made the mistake of thinking it was a lot smaller but I was wrong. You can expect a lot of walking to all attractions. There are a handful of attractions that are within walking distance to one another the rest are far from each other. The London Eye is across the bridge from West Minster Abby and Big Ben/ Parliment and those are really the only ones that are near each other. Prince Charles house is near Buckingham Palace, it is the big yellow place on the right just before the Queens garden and Buckingham Palace and if you go out back of his home you can get close up pictures of the guards, you can actually take your picture with them. It is not easy to get close up pictures of the changing of the guards so this is a good place to get one with yourself in it. The tube is the easiest way to get around to attractions if you are limited on time because it takes buses soooooo long to get through the heavy traffic. Piccadilly Circus was fabulous(theater district) and Oxford street for serious shopping reasonably priced and cheap food chains. As far as this hotel, it was fine. The lobby is clean and the lounge is brand new but the rooms are small but adequate and quaint although on my last morning their I saw a huge cockroach in the bathroom. The hallways are shocking. The rugs are filthy and have duck tape on them in some areas. Also be prepared for long waits at the airports to go through customs and to pick up you bags. We waited for 1 and half hours and this was 2 planefuls of people. I bought the Lodon Pass for the attractions and the Travel Pass for unlimited transportaion on the bus, tube and metro. I loved the travel pass and it was well worth the money. What i paid for thr travel pass for 2 days I spent on 5 taxi rides in a day. The attractions pass was not worth the money because most stuff is free to get into or it is not covered by the pass. This was my first time to London and it was great. get a good street map and you will do fine with getting around.

Lack of service in theCentral Park Hotel in London The hotel has good infrastructure and looked very safe. The service though is not good. A notice a lack of kindness and everything seemed to bother the staff of this hotel.

Great Budget Hotel Central Park Hotel is a great place for the budget traveler. Being a first time London visitor, I’d heard many tales of small, dimly lit rooms with tiny bathrooms with little hot water and difficult plumbing. But, Central Park is a modern hotel. My room was clean and comfortably large. The shower was easy to work, and I had plenty of towels. The concierge was very helpful in arranging tours. Also, the hotel was in a great location, across the street from Hyde Park and a short walk from the Queensway and the Queensway tube station. My only criticism is regarding the breakfast, not that great. But there are plenty of cafes on Queensway. Boots and Tesco stores are also nearby. I’d definitely stay there again.

+ To paraphase it kept the promises made in the advertising - No, excellent stay

The room was not ready at 2pm as promised when I booked. The floor at the bathroom was not cleaned and the sink was not in order. I told the reception, but nothing happened. Nevertheless I will stay at this hotel next time I-m i London, but only if I get
