Byron Hotel

Fantastic location and beautiful buildings in the area. Rooms are pretty basic and small but were completely fine for our visit to London as we were out exploring most of the time.

Room good but lacking in comfortable seating. Breakfast buffet ok but not able to get fresh poached eggs, just fried.

A very pleasant hotel very convenient to Paddington station and an ideal base to explore all the London sights

Small room was so small could not open our suitcases. Very different layout to what is in the pictures. Asked about changing rooms but was told we got what we paid for. Asked if we could have upgrade room like on ******* but they were completely booked. Asked for a refund as the room was so bad, they refused our request. Would not stay here, even if it is a cheap option.

Very disappointing stay at the Byron. On the plus side, it was very clean, both in the room and the halls. Staff were helpful. However, the main reason I booked there was guests saying the beds and pillows were comfortable, which they were not. I could feel the bedsprings through the mattress, which was really hard, and the pillows were thin and hard. First night I was there, they left the window open with freezing temperatures and the heater took 3 hours for the tiny room to heat up to acceptable sleeping conditions. I not only used the thin extra blanket on the bed, but also had my heavy coat piled on top, yet still shivered most of the first night. Also, I have never been in a hotel that didn’t have phones in the room, so I would’ve had to get out of the bed, get dressed in the freezing temperatures and go back down to the front desk to get help. Other things that were not expected - no washcloths provided, and the bathroom floor was always freezing despite advertising it was heated. Later in the trip, the heater finally worked better but then would keep going despite the thermostat setting so I would wake up extremely hot. Entire trip, it was either very hot or very cold in my room. I would never stay here again.

Very close to transport links. Comfortable beds Clean well appointed rooms Pleasant staff Value for money Only small criticism was the slight smell of damp in corridor which could be due to our room being in the lower ground floor

Small rooms but well planned and clean. Nice breakfast, not a big assortment but good quality and service. Bit far from downtown but close to Hyde park and Notting Hill.
