"I stayed at the Rhodes Hotel for 5 days in mid-July.
The hotel is in a very convenient location (Paddington station
& Heathrow Express - 5 minutes walk), with restaurants & pubs
all around. They offer free internet, and a nice breakfast
in the morning. My room (single ensuite) was on the small
side, but very clean with everything I needed. The hosts (Maria
& Chris) are what makes this place so special - they have
great advice for everyone and are very helpful. This hotel
is great for its quality-price offering. Next time I go to
London, this is where I will stay! ."
"We loved this hotel! The proprietors, Chris and Maria
are lovely people and couldn't have been nicer, or more helpful.
They were wonderful to our children as well. We stayed in
a family room which was clean and well equipped with a bathtub,
small refrigerator and great air conditioning. The hotel is
in a superb location - 2 tube stations within a couple minutes
walk. Across from beautiful Hyde Park. The breakfast was great,
and we got terrific restaurant and sightseeing recommendations
from Chris. I recommend this hotel to anyone who is looking
for a great value, clean rooms and warm, personal hospitality.

It is comprised of two long terraces of houses overlooking the park, with a wide gap between them which opens onto a square containing a church. Further terraces back onto the pair overlooking the park and loop around the square.
Lancaster Gate stands alongside Hyde Park Gardens as one of the two grandest of the 19th century housing schemes lining the northern side of Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
