![]() The Hilton London Hyde Park is located in a great location in Bayswater, close to 2 tube stations, and right across the street from Kensington Gardens and Hyde Park.
![]() The hotel rooms are quite small, and there isn't a gym. But it has recently been fully refurbished, and while the rooms are still small, I find the rooms very pleasant to stay in. The new lobby... ![]() ![]() A double room... ![]() ![]() ![]() They also have single rooms, which are tiny, but similarly decorated. I personally find the single rooms fine when I am travelling alone. The bathroom (My room had a shower only - no tub)... ![]() ![]() ![]() There is no gym, but who needs one when there is a beautiful park just across the street. ![]() ![]() |

![]() There is a new restaurant in the hotel, Aubaine...
![]() ![]() ![]() Only one restaurant on the premises, but just step outside onto Queensway round the corner, and you have a huge selection of different international and ethnic restaurants, including several wonderful Chinese restaurants. One of my favourite hotels in London...even better now that it has been fully refurbished. |

![]() Thanks, yflyer. Used to stay there about 10 years ago. Very convenient to the Queensway Tube Station and restaurants at Queensway and Nottinghill area. Also just a short 5-10min taxi to the Heathrow Express at Paddington.

I heard from a wonderful SQ cabin crew member that Goldmine and Four Seasons are great! Haven't tried those yet...have only tried Kam Tong and Royal China, also within walking distance. Last edited by yflyer; 20th February 2017 at 11:58 PM.. |

On my first trip to London, back in the days when the Express wasn't even envisioned and when I was similarly budget conscious, I took the Piccadilly Line to the City from LHR, with my large and heavy luggage, during the morning peak hour. After that I swore I'll not take the Tube with my luggage unless there're absolutely no alternatives. ![]() Last edited by CarbonMan; 21st February 2017 at 12:15 PM.. |

![]() Tube at rush hour is no fun. But ironically at rush hour, Google Maps usually tells me that the tube is faster than taxi in London! A lot of tube stops, leh. I like the comfortable HEX cabins with free wifi. |
