This is my third stay at this Hotel which is convenient to both the high speed train to Heathrow at Paddington Station and the tube from anywhere else at Lancaster Gate. This Hotel is what it is... At 99pounds (US$155) for a double its not cheap but compared to other regular Hotels its a good price for expensive London...figure everything... More

This place is a gem. This was my second stay there - the rooms are not as tiny as happens in London sometimes, and very clean. Continental breakfast is quite sufficient, and locations is great - just a few minutes away from Lancaster Gate tube and Hyde Park. The beds are ok, and it was quiet during the night -... More

First I must say the location is good and the staff was very helpful and pleasant. Here's the big BUT this is really a very basic hotel the beds a a bit broken down - you can actually see the curve in the center. you can hear everything though the walls. Rooms are small, bath is small and for me... More

Location, Cleanliness, Efficiency of Staff, Breakfast, and Price - I don't think there's any place in London that can beat the Lancaster Hall Hotel! Near Paddington Station for access to Heathrow and the District, Circle, Hammersmith and Bakerloo lines, plus close to Lancaster Gate Tube Station for close access to the Central line, as well as just a block and...

This originally German YMCA hotel/hostel is good value. The room was clean, beds comfy, en suite with hot water, bath with shower over. Lift to all floors, coffee and tea and tv in bedrooms. The breakfast was German-type with cold meats, cheese, cereal, juice, coffee/tea and toast or croissants, jam honey and eggs. Plenty to eat and the price for... More

Lancaster Hall is a no frills hotel. But it is clean, friendly, and--for London--inexpensive. Without question, the reading lights in the room are the best. The hotel is located near Paddington Station, giving one access to many transportation options, including easy access to Heathrow Airport. The major drawback is the small single beds.

This is still possibly the best value for money in London-an excellent basic hotel as many reviewers have said. To clear up a point, I did last year notice the smell of smoke but not this time and I understand there has been a 'no smoking' rule since April 1st.

If you are not looking for old world charm and want cheap clean and tidy accommodation surrounded by useful things like tube and restaurants why wouldn't you stay here? The breakfast was fine, had five nights here and it is run well. Ok it doesn't have much personality, but its solid and basic, spotlessly clean and efficient and I'd stay... More

I stayed 5 nights at this hotel.Great for the tube just around the cornere, Hyde Park and Kensington Garden a cross the road.Rooms all right breakfast ok. I reccomend this hotel . Next to two historical Pubs, The Swan and the Mitre, if you want to dine go early because there are not many tables.

Third time at Lancaster hall Hotel (youth wing) and same satisfaction. We usually avoid hotels with shared bathrooms, but in this case we don't mind at all, for showers are spotlessy clean and we've never had to wait to use them. Rooms are large and include a wash-basin too. The hotel is very conveniently located (Bayswater Road, Kensington Gardens, Hyde... More
