This hotel should not have 8.2 stars. They took all the phones out the rooms, they turned on the heat when still in the 60s, you couldnt call when you had an issue, the only good thing was the lication and breakfast. We stayed at a hotel near by , but couldn't get rooms there. I will never be back to Lancaster Gate. While I was there I told them of issues, they sent me a nasty letter. The rooms were old. You had to flush the toilet like it any old water closet. You either burnt with the hot water in the shower or froze.

A great experience
While the hotel shows a little bit of wear and tear, it was overall very clean, the service was great, the room was comfortable, and the location cant be beat. I stayed for a week and found it very reasonably priced. Would stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Lancaster Hotel. London has recently been dealing with an increase in trouble with the recent protests and thefts; however, the hotel is located in a very safe-feeling neighbourhood. The room itself was clean, but our window latch was broken and we were located on the first floor which made us feel slightly uneasy. Other than that, we will certainly be staying here again.

Great location. Walkable to multiple subway stations. Property is a little dated. Front desk said they are getting ready to renovate but not do anything about the plumbing. You have to have a special touch to flush the toilet as the plumbing is so old. Overall a good choice for the price and accessibility as we were never in the room.

The bed was wonderful. I slept beautifully. They need to redo the carpets. They are full of stains and look dirty. They might not be, but that’s what they look like. Breakfast was mediocre. I felt there was a poltergeist running around my room because I could hear everything around me and I was in a corner room. Would I stay there again? Yes because of the price, no because of all the other things I mentioned.

Good location but poor value for money
Business trip. Staff were friendly. Good location. Very basic room. Price high. No breakfast included in stay. Glass in room steamed out so couldn’t see out of window. Cheap pillows z& bedding. Tiny rooms which were clean but quite old and tired. Bathroom tiny. No room service. Small limited bar. Location was the best bit. Massively overpriced for what it offers. I wouldn’t stay again.

This is my 4th time to the hotel and I have never had a single problem. The staff was wonderful, and our rooms were cleaned quickly each and every day. Additionally, the hotel is perfectly placed near Hyde Park. It’s a fantastic hotel!
