Scene
Charming budget hotel with contemporary decor and few public spaces
The Royale Chulan Hyde Park Hotel London is set in charming white Victorian-era townhouses with iron railings graced flanked by planters. Inside, the lobby is small, with a white-marble front desk and a small seating area with a dark leather couch, a chair, and a Victorian-style painting. Public spaces are limited to this seating area and a breakfast room with wooden floors, four wooden tables, a water cooler, and a small kitchenette for guest use. The biggest drawback is that there isn’t an elevator, so guests staying on the top floor might find it difficult to haul their suitcases upstairs. Overall it’s a contemporary hotel with a quaint atmosphere that provides a comfortable, but basic, place to sleep.
Location
Within walking distance of a few attractions, and close to public transportation
The Royale Chulan Hyde Park Hotel is located on a charming street in the Bayswater neighborhood, with plenty of restaurants and shops in the surrounding area. Kensington Palace is a 14-minute walk away, while Portobello Market takes 15 minutes to reach on foot. However, other major attractions must be reached by public transportation. Luckily, the Bayswater tube station is only six minutes away on foot, which makes for an easy 25- to 35-minute ride to central attractions such as Buckingham Palace. It’s a 35-minute drive to London Heathrow Airport.
Rooms
Modern rooms of varying sizes with flat-screen TVs and kitchenettes
All 68 rooms at the Royale Chulan Hyde Park Hotel are decorated in the same basic but contemporary style, with wooden floors, brown curtains, white linen beds with tan coverlets, and dark-brown leather headboards and desks. Many of the rooms are tiny, with little space to move, but all still manage to include small wardrobes for storage. All rooms come with free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, flat-screen wall-mounted TVs, and kitchenettes with sinks, worn two- or four-burner stoves, mini-fridges, utensils and plates, and kettles. Triple Rooms and Luxury Rooms have microwaves, too. Bathrooms are small but have walk-in showers, heated towel racks, toiletries in wall dispensers, and hairdryers.
Features
Free Wi-Fi, parking, and basic breakfast
