What guests think

At Grand Royale Hyde Park, travelers praise the ornate historic lobby and outstanding location near Hyde Park and two Tube lines, while noting very small, sometimes dated rooms with compact bathrooms and occasional maintenance or noise issues.

Cleanliness is generally good in public areas and many rooms, but reports of tired fixtures, mold, and sporadic housekeeping lapses recur. Service frequently earns praise—especially at breakfast—yet several guests reported slow or confusing check-in and inconsistent front-desk attitudes. Breakfast quality and variety are highlighted, whereas on-site dining beyond breakfast and bar offerings can be limited or unavailable at times. Overall, expect a characterful, convenient stay with compact rooms and some compromises.

Beautiful historic hotel! We truly enjoyed our stay. Friendly helpful staff, quiet location with beautiful park across the street. Unfortunately, the property is not accessible friendly. We had to carry all our luggage up several steps to enter and the hallways and elevators are very small and narrow.

The location is great to both Tubes and buses and we would stay in this area again. Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the hotel. It's looking run down. The room was very small, since we paid extra for the "deluxe". Headboard was torn and worn down, towels are thin. The wifi was horrible and non secure, which made it difficult for my husband and I to do some work on our laptops. There was no draft beer and only offered Corona in the bar. We thought this was going to be somewhere we would spend our evenings, but didn't feel inviting and couldn't get food there.

Extremely tiny rooms. Dirty bathroom, mold on bathroom floors. Mirrors and toilet not cleaned well. Pillow smells bad. Scratchy, smelly, itchy sheets. Floors sticky and dirty. The room I’m in is literally next to the dumpsters. When I open window, I see and smell dumpsters. Loud people outside talking. Very thin rooms so you can hear outside and other rooms. Only one towel in a two-twin bed room. I don’t understand that. This hotel is nice on the outside and the entrance, but don’t let that fool you, it’s Not four stars at all.

The pictures show a lovely property, however the rooms themselves are very small. Upon arrival to room the bathroom had not been cleaned with rubbish on the floor and bath dirty. The windows are screwed shut painted badly paint with paint on the curtain and cracked glass. Air con only sent out hot aire and the entire floor creaked. Finally the door handle to the bathroom was coming off. Really disappointing and others were complaining as we left

Another extraordinary experience at one of the best-run four-star hotels in London. For almost fifteen years, I've made the Grand Royale my home away from home. There is so much to marvel over inside: the gorgeous Edwardian architecture; the cleanliness of both the common areas and the rooms; the diverse breakfast options in two beautiful dining rooms run by the gifted Romanian sisters Manuela and Carmen; the remarkable location (two underground stations within a block; restaurants of all varieties galore; and the stunning Kensington Gardens and Palace across the street); and -- most of all -- the highly professional, trained front desk staff who always greet you with a smile or an offer to assist you. Rooms here are small. and the hotel, lovingly worn, needs upgrading and renovation -- but these are among the reasons why the rates are as reasonable as they are. Under the experienced direction of general manager Nema da Silva, the hotel retains the feel of a family-run inn -- and is one of the best-kept secrets in London.

Room was little dirty, Duvet was lumpy which made it cold . We asked for blankets and got a single duvet. There was paint on the curtains, mastic in bathroom around the bath was extremely tacky and looked unclean which must have carried bacteria. At 5 am I was woken by a water leak in the bathroom from a ceiling spotlight. Dripping 2/3 time a second. This made floor and toilet wet. Went on for a good hour. As the room was I. Curtain were not suitable for the room there for allowing light into the room when closed, not shower curtain causing soaking floor exiting the shower area and no shampoo just body wash.

It was a good overnight stay, but the Heating of the room was not really functional, and the room's TV could not have the subtitles removed. As we were only there for one night, it was not a priority to complain to us, the room was clean, especially the bathroom and linen, breakfast good and all staff were courteous and helpful.

Good location, the hotel public areas are steeped in history which we did appreciate but the guest room even though it was supposed to be an executive room was very small and claustrophobic, we had a stairs to climb inside our room to get up to the bedroom which was off putting as could be a safety issue. The shower was over the bath but the bath was raised so getting in and out was challenging. The bathroom floor tiles were all loose and moved under your feet and the shower didn’t have a proper screen so the floor was soaking after showering another safety issue.

Room was awful. Below ground, way too small ( you had to step out of the bathroom to put the bath mat down) and there was a crack in the bath that had been poorly patched up. Wasn’t a very cheap option and I know I could have had much better for the same price. ( just short of £250 for two nights b&b) The staff were very pleasant and the breakfast ok.

The beds were hard. The pillows were small and hard and after requesting extra pillows twice, none were delivered. The front desk gent was not helpful and we seemed to be an inconvenience to him. It's only redeeming qualify was the tube access with two stations very close.

The rooms were small and oddly designed. When you walked into the room, you either step up or step down depending on the floor. The bathrooms were tidy. If you have tbe bath tub, most lightly, the water would spread on to the floor. The pictures were misleading. I am not sure why other people had given it high rating. We had 4 rooms and they were all bad.

Given a room in basement which was fine, went to go to bed at night and we had a light sensor outside the room that went off when anyone walked past on the street. Asked to change rooms (11.00pm) was offered to singles which we refused. Sadi they’d send us to a sister hotel and cover taxi fares (which they didn’t but did pay for on a visit back to the hotel the next day) the sister hotel refused us entry as not part of the chain. Called original hotel and they booked us into a 3rd hotel and we checked in at 2am (3 hours after our original query). I decide if that’s good service? Returned to original hotel in the morning as requested by night team to be told we couldn’t have a refund (oh sorry they offered us 15% 😂). U decide??

There was 8 of us in our group, not all rooms were available so we left bags and left for lunch. I received an Email a couple of hours later to say the hotel was overbooked and the rooms were no longer available??! This must have been a mistake as we had already checked and we called reception to check, we were told it was your error and you did have rooms for us, very confusing and we were then a little worried as we weren’t arriving back at the hotel until much later.

After using chat on Hotel.com they found the booking.. then another 30 mins to find room then told me booking not paid for which it was. Very upset as going to dinner and show and was late. Asked them to pay for our drinks while we waited,which they did. Poor communication from hotel on the situation and very embarrassing as I had booked it for 2 x friends.

We had a 4 year old in our group so being so close to the Princess Diana play park in Kensington Garden was very convenient.

Great location, and an excellent breakfast (the two sisters working there are a real asset to the hotel). Some parts of the hotel are very beautiful, but our rooms were very small and tired. First room had a shower in tub, which was too high for my partner to get in and out of and also didn’t have shower curtain, so it was hard not to soak the bathroom when showering. So we switched to another room with a shower stall. I’m 190 pounds and 5’11” and I could barely turn around in the shower. The stall leaked too, so we had to stuff towels around it to prevent the very tiny bathroom floor from flooding. Toilet had no leg room, so you had to sit sideways to use it. We had a tiny wardrobe with 8 hangers, and very little space to lay out suitcases, had to ask for a luggage rack, so we could put bags somewhere. Other rooms may be better, and one should expect small when staying in London. Rooms were kept clean, but maintenance was needed. Loose fixtures, loose window locks, missing curtain hooks etc. very hard bed. Wifi was good. This hotel was conveniently located close to two tube stations, and Kensington Park. Lots of restaurant options. If you stay here, include breakfast in your stay. Good English breakfast offerings. Foyer and lobby were beautiful. Flower arrangements were wonderful.
