Just back from a 2night trip in london and stayed in Hyde Park Executive Apartments. was a little scared as reviews werent that great! they were amazing rooms for the price your paying, great value. when we arrived, we were given one of the standard rooms, with a double bed. it was really spacious and had great amenties, but as we left the room, we found that the lock to our door was dodgy, so we informed reception and they moved us to another room asap! they also upgraded us to a bigger more spacious room as a result, where we had 2 double beds. we were very happy. the beds arnt the greatest, but nevertheless, i slept fine on them!! Top marks for services here. Definetly would come back and recommend this hotel! Close

I stayed on business at this...what can only be described as a hostel. At check in I was asked to write my credit card details, including expiry date on a piece of A4 paper and provide ID before I could collect my key. When I got into my room it was certainly neither executive or an apartment. There was a kitchenette with a bar type chair, 2 feet of space and then a bed and wardrobe. The bed was like a campbed with sheets that were full of holes. On closer inspection there were bits of food around the bed and nail clippings on the mat next to the bed. I left at 6.30pm to get something to eat (as the cooking utensils consisted of a couple of pots, and the cutlery 2 spoons and a knife!) when I got outside there was a fist fight outside the next door property with a group of lads watching from the door (I later found out it was a hostel). As some-one else has commented it is like sleeping in the same room as your neighbours, I had to sleep with my ipod on to drown out next door!! I checked out the next morning and went to stay at a hotel. If you are backbacking or don't really mind getting no sleep, waking up with bruises from the mattress and being in a room with other peoples nail clippings and old food then by all means book in here. Otherwise spend your hard earned money somewhere else. Close

I have just checked out a few hours ago, I never write hotel reviews but I feel compelled to tell you a bit more about this place and to get it out of my system. First of all the name of the place is ludicrous: Hyde Park Executive Apartments, who are they kidding! It's certainly round the corner from Kensington Gardens and the Bayswater location is outstanding for Notting Hill, the West End and the City but these are certainly not apartments - more like bedsits with kitchenettes - and there's nothing remotely executive about the place - it's not just understaffed, it's not even staffed at all... Having said that it was "only" £70 a night, arguably a bargain in central London. It's probably the worst bed I've ever stayed in, and that includes years of backpacking in Asia and South America, and stays at the infamous mansions in Hong Kong. I've had a stiff back & shoulders the whole week. The bed is tiny as well in width but also in length (I'm only 5'11'' - it's not like I'm 6'4"). What's described as a flat screen LCD TV is suspended over the bed like a CCTV camera and without a remote control. Insulation is really poor and I could hear my neighbours going to the toilets at 2am. Quite gross. There was an unpleasant smell coming from the bathroom (apart from that the bathroom was the best feature of the room). Surely calling it Apartments is the best excuse for the absence of reception and room service. The guy at check in was chatting to his mates during 2 minutes before he took notice of my presence. I had to produce a piece of ID upon check-in (luckily I'm French - the UK has no official ID). And I was appalled that I had to agree to a £500 guarantee on my credit card. I had to write my card number on a piece of paper and I was just assured this morning that the piece of paper would be discarded. Now I will check my bank account every week to make sure that they don't overcharge me. I certainly wouldn't recommend this place to anyone! Close
