Convenient Bayswater Stay

friendly staffconvenient locationsafe neighborhood
The staff was very friendly. The hotel is near Bayswater station. It makes getting around easy. The neighborhood safety was good, even late at night.
The room lacked drawer space, impacting longer stays.
Rooms
8/10
The room included tea and coffee amenities, though the power cord needed some adjustment for convenient use. The bathroom sink was quite narrow, leading to some water splashing onto the floor. More drawer space would benefit longer stays.

The staff showed great kindness . The location is near train stations, made travel easy. I appreciated the nearby park. It offered a spot for relaxation. There were many options for food as restaurants and supermarkets were VERY close.
The bathroom felt quite small, a bit inconvenient. Hot pipes ran down the wall, next to the bed. It was easy to burn myself. The temperature reminded me of a sauna.

The hotel's proximity to multiple subway stations impressed me. Hyde Park is also a short walk away. I felt secure in the neighborhood and appreciated the many nearby restaurants.
I found the room temperature too warm upon arrival. Turning off the heater and opening a window resolved the issue.
