London Elizabeth Hotel Reviews (Hyde Park)

London was great. We did lots of walking, hopping on and off tubes to get about. it was great to take in all the sights. Thanks you

Our hotel had a superb location, with a view over Hyde Park, a bus stop outside and the underground across the road. The room was basic and had some traffic noise at night. The food in the restaurant was excellent - freshly cooked and well presented. The service was excellent too, all the staff were friendly and extremely helpful.We visited the Houses of Parliament by prior arrangement with our MP and had a memorable visit. We then went into St Martin's in the Fields and came across a boys' choir rehearsing Faure's Requiem for a competition. London is full of delightful surprises. We visited Westminster Cathedral, the RC cathedral. It was beautiful, with gorgeous mosaics and a serene atmosphere. More of a place of worship than a museum.We popped into Harrods to goggle at the Food Hall, on our way to the V & A. Just walking around in the West End is interesting.We were pleased to find that our local bus passes ( seniors), were valid in London too. We took a boat from Westminster to Greenwich to see the Cutty Sark. The new visitors' centre is a museum in its own right, with the delightful Meantime pub and restaurant. The Cutty Sark experience is far, far more interesting than it used to be. I thoroughly recommend this trip.All in all a fantastic visit, with some memorable moments.

Main purpose: Theatre trip (War Horse)Sightseeing: Harrods, f&m, Science Museum, Wellington Arch, Bomber command memorialHotel: Tired but clean; service excellentTravel around city by London bus - first class!

We were so looking forward to this break,unfortunately my husband broke his leg,so this made us both a little apprehensive about so much in taking this break. But we needen't of worried. We had one of the best weekends away ever. Every thing went so smoothly, even though we could not do the amount of sight seeing we both normally tend to do,we were so very well looked after and made to feel special thank-you so much for the hotel you advertised

We purchased a theatre break, with friends, for New Year's Eve in which we had a good hotel in a good location with good bed and breakfast. The show was We Will Rock You, a story set to the music of Queen. London Transport got us from place to place, then came the Embankment and and the most magnificent firework display to welcome 2013.After a good nights sleep and breakfast in our hotel off to watch The London Parade with all its marching bands, Cheerleaders and floats - excellent.A great couple of days with friends.

Elizabeth Hotel staff and breakfast were very good although hotel very tired but good location opposite Hyde Park. Theatre ticket seats very good and Wicked show was superb. Good London map and walking to most areas feasible although travel card economic way to get across London.

Good location opposite lancaster underground and bus stop outside. Hotel room furnishings dated and shabby but everything clean. Gap under bedroom door letting in light. View from window poor. Hotel staff all pleasant and polite. Good breakfast with plenty of choice. Would have liked tea making facilities in room. Ok for short break.

This is the first hotel room we've stayed in london that does not have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Breakfast was spoilt by the waitress forgetting our order - one hour and ten minutes to have breakfast. I am glad we weren't in a rush.

Lovely staff, fabulous "home cooked" style food and the best cooked element of breakfast I've had in london (out of hundreds) but room whilst spacious and comfortable very much in need of an upgrade - a pity because a facelift for the hotel would make it a "find".

Good value weekend, room ok if a little tired. BrEakfast very good as was the evening meals.

The elizabeth is a great hotel in a good location. It is a bit dated but that is part of its charm. The bar prices in the hotel are very reasonable.

We spent the time going to places we had planned. The oyster card bought through Superbreak was brilliant. Superb weather the whole time. The London elizabeth hotel is very tired and in need of refurbishment, which had actually started. Our first room had a non funtioning shower so we were moved to another room without fuss. The decor was well worn, the water barely hot. The bed was like a block of wood. Wouldn't stay there until it has been fully brought up to scratch.

London Elizabeth, a very good choice. A safe in the bedroom and luggage storage after vacating the room was included in the price. Position was excellent, park over the road, Lancaster Gate tube station yards away, we are in our 70's we walked to Price Edward Theatre and back again.; pavements were good , well lit we felt safe. The owner & staff were helpful and friendly. Room service was quick & cheerful. The bed was clean and comfortable, there was a table, chairs, wardrobe and drawers. The bathroom/shower had plenty of towels, hot water, soap, shampoo and large mirrors. Breakfast was pastries, wide choice of cereal, fresh fruit, yoghurt, cooked breakfast (hot too) bread, toast, jam, honey and marmalade. There were chairs in reception for visitors. A member of staff hailed a taxi for us when we left. The decor was a little tired, but that is nit picking.

The london elizabeth hotel was comfortable if a little old fashioned. The train journey down was excellent with first class service. However on our return on the sunday we had to pay for drinks even though we were booked first class.

The elizabeth hotel was not clean, the first room offered was so smelly we asked to move. The next room was shaby and dirty the shower was inafective.

Couldn't fault the hotel. Staff were great and food was lovely. Will certainly be going back.

Superbreak orgainised my train ticket, madame taussauds ticket plus our hotel accommadation. It took so much pressure off me and i highly recommend using Superbreak thankyou for a memorable 2 days stay in London.

Excellent choice of hotel. Staff were so very helpful, polite and very good humoured. Phantom of the Opera extremely good as expected. London museum - tiring but we thoroughly enjoyed the dickens exhibition - very evocative of London atthat time.

Hotel was lovely, right next to hyde park. Also handy to the tube station to make getting to the theatre easy.

Hotel was perfectly situated just round the corner from Lancaster Gate tube station. The room was comfy but could hear all traffic outside but still slept ok. There are no tea or coffee making facilities in the room which I was very dissapointed about, but apart from that it was great. Wicked the musical was well, wicked ! would recommend it to anyone.

Hotel was excellent apart from the fact that there were no tea or coffee making facilities in either of the bedrooms. We were surprised at this as we thought it was normal practice now in all hotels and certainly has been when we have stayed in London via you before.

When we checked in there was doubt that the 2 course meal would be honoured even though we had it writing on our recipt. There was no tea / coffee facilities and the room was a little tatty and dated eg plywood panel on bath. Old tv set.

I visit London onced or twice a year with my sister inl aw, have been very lucky with the hotels always located very central and near the parks, discovered this time that the buses are excellent good value for getting to station and west end.

We attended a business meeting and combined it with a visit to a show and an overnight stay. It was a really good break.

Enjoyed hotel had four post suite without any extra charge. Hotel facilities good and clean.

Hotel location was superb - tube station within 400 yards. Hyde park just across the road. Full english breakfast a great start to the day. Buy an all day pass for the tube - gets you around all the main sites.

Our anniversary break. We went to London on a theatre and hotel package. Rock of ages and london elizabeth, the staff at the hotel were lovely breakfast was brilliant.

Hotel location good for the event we attended. Comfortable and spacious bedroom. A bit dated.

We had a very pleasant weekend, the hotel staff were very friendly and welcoming and the breakfast was excellent. Our trip to the theatre was also excellent, ghost is highly recommended, how do they do those special effects?.

Hotel was fine but very noisy. Front rooms overlook lancaster gate at bayswater road. Horns and sirens and constant traffic all night. Ate somewhere different every night. Did not take notes. Indian @ 2 streets away = great & good value. Italian 3 streets the other way - superb. Lebanese behind hotel - very bland cous cous + costly.

My cousin and I fancied a weekend break in london and to see a show. The hotel was very close to the tube station and paddington and opposite hyde park so perfectly located. Hotel was charming and room was nice, staff excellent. Other guests rather noisy though getting in late and cleaning staff up and about early so a little tiring. The show was brilliant (billy elliot) and we walked from the hotel to victoria and saw many sights. Many restaurants and bars in easy walking distance.

Went on a one night break to london. Stayed in the hotel elizabeth which was ideally situated just across the road from hyde park. The weather was warm and we had an enjoyable stroll through the park and saw the statue of peter pan which is well worth seeing. Also visited the memorial fountain (paddling pool) for diana princess of wales. The children were enjoying themselves paddling in the pool which i'm sure diana would have loved but feel like many others that they could have a better memorial for her with the amount of money spent. Booked rail tickets separate as we got a better deal than with Superbreak and returned 1st class for just £1 extra each which made a nice end to a memorable weekend. The hotel was clean and the staff very friendly and had an excellent breakfast. The only downside we were on the top floor and the rooms were small and areas needed upgrading. There was only one small (and very claustrophobic) lift in the hotel.

Used as a base to attend a royal garden party at buckingham palace. Good situation, close to tube and a variety of facilities. Resturant menu whilst inexpensive was not all that good. Breakfast ok.

Whilst taking in the sights of our capital the hotel we stopped at "the queen elizabeth" was a bit dated but clean and comfortable food and staff were great, the room needed a bit of refreshing, if you come to take in a show les miserables is a must see.

Went to a concert in hyde park and the hotel was in an excellent location both for the concert and the tube which is opposite. An added bonus to our stay was an upgrade to the concervatory suite which was wonderful.

Hotel great location near paddington train station and next door to lancaster gate tube station. Hotel staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast lovely! only down sides were no tea making facilities in room and a very small lift. Otherwise brilliant, including spacious hotel room, which is hard to find in London. After all my stays in London I would say this is the hotel I would go back too!.

Sightseeing and shopping and going to a brilliant show.

My friend and I came down to see barry manilow at o2 which was an excellent show. We also went to see jersey boys which was superb. We also visited westminster abbey to see the trees and flowers from the royal wedding a few days before our visit. Hotel location was superb just round the corner from lancaster gate tube. The staff were all very helpful and friendly especially patrick the night porter. The room was quite spacious adn you could see the serpentine from the window. Each morning you could see and hear the police horses being exercised. Breakfast was good with plenty to eat. Rooms being done up bit by bit very central area and would certainly stay here again.

Friendly, clean but old fashioned. Very small lift. Queued for breakfast - could they put up a few tables elsewhere. Room was comfortable with a nice view but we could hear the lift motor...

The two exhibitions we visited were interesting and informative. Hotel elizabeth is a comfortable, slightly old-fashioned hotel; the staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfasts were superb (so substantial that we didn't need any lunch! )the bedroom was clean and comfortable, although we did miss having tea/coffee making facilities in the room.

Stayed at the london elizabeth. Staff and location excellent. Breakfast good. Two things spoiled it. 1. The pillows! rock hard foam and all the same. 2. They still have smoking bedrooms. Even though we requested non smoking, one of the three was very obviously for smokers and it stank. When we asked at reception if we could change, they said they had no others available. I know they don't guarantee requests but this had been booked well in advance and it spoiled the stay.

Hotel - no heating in our hotel room and we had to ask every night but one for it to be switched on. Room in serious need of refurbishment. No tea/coffee making facilities. Cracked/chipped crockery for out for breakfast cereals.

We went to london on the train to stay at the london elizabeth hotel. It did not start well as all trains from our station to crewe had been cancelled because the drivers would not work overtime, hence an unexpected car parking fee. It was also the day of the cuts demo in london so we had to suffer idiots everywhere. We went to watch les miserables at the queens and it just was not for us. Didin't like being high up in the upper circle suffering from claustrophobia and it told us that in future we will not rely upon Superbreak to book things like that as they always seem to be at the bottom of the feeding chain! we left half way through and went back to watch the rioting! the hotel however was fine with a really good breakfast. Our room was on the front and although a bit worn was acceptable. The noise outside however was bad, the windows are not double glazed and the road very busy. London emergency vehicles also seem to think that putting two tones on at every opportunity is acceptable despite it being in the early hours when the traffic is lighter.

Enjoyable mini break in elizabeth hotel, hyde park, London. The hotel is in need of refurbishing outside and is tired inside, but we were made very welcome and the staff are excellent. Due to old windows you will be disturbed by traffic noise. The hotel is in an ideal location for the tube and buses. Highly priced for the facilities, so would not stay there again unless they had a special offer.

Took my grand-daughter on trip to London and stayed at London elizabeth hotel. Old fashioned, but staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Located wonderfully for tube access and beautiful walks through hyde park which took us to the albert memorial and albert hall. Went to see 2 theatre productions - wizard of o z and wicked. Saw andrew lloyd webber during intermission. Had hair done, eyebrow waxing then shopping after having visited aquarium and madame tussaud's. Entry to both were expensive, and long wait to see waxworks, so would book in advance. Purchased all day tube/bus tickets which was better than tour bus options. Tubes get really busy, so stay together. Wonderful week-end, sore feet and fairly long journey back to scotland but really worth it. Could'nt have done it cheaper online. "superbreak" give a great service.

Did not do as much as we wanted, due to myself beginning to feel unwell with severe headache, so unfortunately on the sunday cut it short and went home. But what we were able to do was very enjoyable.

Got an upgrade to a suite at the London Elizabeth. Fantastic start to our break. Staff attentive and good breakfast.

It was a perfect weekend. Hotel was amazing and we got a great deal on the package.

Hotel decor very tired and needs decorating. Double room very small.

One night stay. Only 1 minute walk from Lancaster Gate tube station. Excellent links on central line to most areas of London. Hotel staff very welcoming. Evening meal and breakfast were both very good and well presented. Hotel lift a little small but only 4 floors so stairs not too much of a problem. Room warm, clean and reasonably sized. En-suite with shower quite adequate. Bed very comfortable. Throughout, the hotel is quite adequate but could in places receive a bit of tlc as some of the decor looks a little tired. Would not hesitate to book another stay at this hotel.

Trying the train for a break to the capital for a theatre visit. Picked up the shops in knightsbridge and picadilly as well as the canalletto exhibition at the national by day. Les miserables magic in the evening. Hotel service and location,(lancaster gate) excellent.

Hotel room was a little on the small side, it was in need of a little updating but was very warm & comfortable. The cooked breakfast was excellent as were all of the hotel staff. The location of the hotel was also very good close to the tube station, and Hyde Park on the doorstep. We saw 2 excellent shows had a lovely weekend.

Hotel good over looking Hyde Park, we had a nice walk though the park on our way to the museums.

Requested a quiet room at hotel and allocated a nice room on top floor at the rear.Only thing missing was tea making facilities! hotel rooms very good and breakfasts excellent. Visited Covent Garden friday pm, ate at nice pie restaurant and onto the theatre the Lion King.Saturday visited St Pauls Cathedral, the gerkin and leicester sq to get tickets for dreamboats and petticoats for sat evening (great show). Sunday visited the tower bridge experience. Very interesting. All travel was quick and easy by tube using oyster cards.

Enjoyed the weekend trains on time both ways. Hotel easy access from tube, nice friendly staff excellent food, clean rooms, shame there was no tea and coffee facilities but room service covered this.

We stayed at the London Elizabeth hotel which was very welcoming. Staff were friendly and very helpful, we were also upgraded to a deluxe twin room on arrival which was a pleasant surprise. Other than a night at the theatre and a shopping trip down Oxford Street was all we could fit in, one night in London just wasn't long enough... Already looking to book our next Superbreak!!.

Hotel location wonderful beside tube station. English breakfast cooked to order how it used to be done. Wonderful bedroom clean and tidy traffic noise a problem as ours was a front room, an elevator very small a problem if like me disabled.

Just a stones throw from the park and underground station. The staff and reception were excellant and very friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble for them - slight noise from the bus stop outside our room, but we could have changed to a quieter room.

Visited Covent Garden and had great time wandering around. Visited theatre and saw Love Never Dies. This was excellent. Then went to hotel. Was quite disappointed as the hotel desperately needs renovating, and there was no tea/coffee making facilities' the view from the window was the car park! Visited camden town and this was very enjoyable. Sat at the lock side, and watched the world go by. Then caught train home.

Poor hotel but great staff. Surprised this is on the Superbreak portfolio to be honest, it's not the best. Superbreak could do more to give advice on how to book seats on the train when journey has been booked through Superbreak. Ended up a couple of calls and a 50 mile round trip just to book seats.

The hotel was on the circle line - which was closed - but was also on the "big bus" route - the bus stop was outside the hotel - which was brilliant and which we used several times. The hotel is a little bastion of old fashioned englishness in a sea of modern buildings, was very reasonably priced through Superbreak, and aside from outside noise at night and the lack of tea and coffee in the room, was lovely, and the staff were really friendly and helpful.

Trip was a gift from my daughter to see Sister Act. I was also able to meet up with my brother who lives in London. The hotel was near Oxford Street and right next to underground which was very good for getting around. A bit disapointed with the hotel as lift was not working and we were 3rd floor so we got plenty of exersise all weekend. Room did not have tea or coffee making so cost £4 every time myself and daughter wanted a cup of tea. First night stayed in hotel for meal waitress found it difficult to understand our order also wine ordered white and was given red took a while to get her to understand. In the end I took back to the bar myself to get it changed also meal was not hot. Still had a great weekend.

Excellent location to tube, Hyde Park. Room, especially bathroom looking tired. Would be nice to have tea/coffee facilities. We stayed hear last year as well and would consider staying again next year.

Hotel in great location. Across from Lancaster tube station on the central line and beside Hyde Park. Bus stop is also directly outside hotel. Hotel itself was clean and comfortable but could do with updating the decor. No tea/coffee facilities in the bedrooms which was greatly missed. Buffet breakfast great value with a good variety of food, with english breakfast cooked to order. London very easy to get around, lots to do with children. Great parks and very clean. Felt very safe in this area.

Great location with friendly staff.

We arrived in London Liverpool street at 1pm. I had picked the hotel at Lancaster gate because it was very convient to the tube.Both the central line from Liverpool and the Jubilee line to The O2 in the evening. The hotel was a little past it's sell by date but every thing was clean and tidy and the staff were very helpful.The only dissapointment was having no tea or cofee facilities in the room.In the evening we went to the O2 to see the Dancing on Ice show. We were in the Superbreak VIP lounge. It was fabulous and made a good night an excellent night. All I can say is whenever we want to see a show in London in the future, Superbreak will be our first port of call.Thank you foe excellent arrangements.

view overlooking hyde park tube station close pubs on whitehall good

Another most enjoyable break with Superbreak, the London Elizabeth Hotel is ideal for us being central, very friendly and well presented. Travel arrangements also very good.

The hotel was clean, the staff helpful. The hotel could do with some time and attention.Our bathroom floor was very damaged abd cracked. The breakfast room chairs have given alot of service and need replacing!! What quests see from their bedroom window should be considered ( out the back) THe hotel was very busy so obviously there is money going in, that could be used on improvments.Please include tea making facilities in the bedrooms!!!

Hotel was ideal as I was only 5 mins from Paddington for train to Hayes. My partner came down and is not used to London so i could take her out of the front door , walk ten yards and point out the end of Oxford Street which allowed her to occupy her time whilst I attended the meeting. If you didn't like the shops then Hyde Park is on the door step for an early morning/evening stroll. Whilst there on the Saturday visited the Xmas Fayre in Hyde Park which we enjoyed, and a friend took us to the ice rink at Somerset House which was a lovely setting for such a thing. Hotel itself is a good , value for money hotel right next to Lancaster Gate tube. Nothing special but would have no reservations in returning. Staff were pleasant.

london elizabeth hotel was terrible very worn decor,breakfast very poor,seating very shabby,they did have clean bedding and bathroom thas the only good thing i can say. good pub round the corner(the swan).

We have dealt with Superbreaks before after a recommendation from a work collegue, we have also stopped at the London Elizabeth Hotel before with Superbreaks. This hotel is ideal and I would not hesitate to recommend it to others, the staff are extremely friendly, the location next to Hyde Park is an ideal base having the Lancaster Gate tube station across the road. The rooms are comfortable and well appointed and the facilities are all and more than we required. This break was booked only the day before we travelled and we got absolutely just what we wanted (including 3 seats for a show which was shown on the internet to be fully booked) which is a great credit to Superbreaks in itself. We had to collect our travel tickets from Superbreaks Offices in York on the day of travel due to the short notice. When we arrived the tickets were waiting for us as arranged and the office staff that we met were extremely helpful and friendly. Finally to the cost of this break, the train travel to London came at a fraction of the price quoted to me at my local station and the Hotel costs were also very reasonable. I would recommend the services of Superbreaks to all and would not hesitate to book breaks with them again in the future.

The Elizabeth Hotel was fine very well located for Hyde Park, Bus and underground, only lacking in bedroom tea/coffee making facilities.The trip to the Exhibition at XL was disappointing hardly worth the effort of the longish journey via the Docklands Railway. Harrods had better HiFi and audio visual displays. The after dark walk Tower Bridge to Houses of Parliament on the south bank is to be recommended.

Location good, rooms very jaded in need of redecoration, food & staff excellent. Would not go out of my way to stay there again

Loved London coming back in a few weeks to finish the tourist bit. Holtel staff were very friendly and attentive! Although the bar prices were expensive. Thanks for a super few days. Oh and everyone should book for the Duck Tour it was terrific!!!

The hotel room G18 in the London Elizabeth hotel was appalling. I don't think it had been decorated in years. the carpet was dirty and the walls were dirty and stained with cracks on the wall. bathroom was also not of a good standard cracked tiles and bare filament on broken light bulb. Not what we expected at all. we still had a brilliant time. Buy bus passes for £3.50 per day from bus stop outside of hotel (this was a plus) and you can go anywhere. we did the London eye, boat trip on the Thames, Tower of London, princess diana memorial garden (just opposite hotel in Hyde Park). Travelled constantly on the buses and saw loads, it was excellent.

The hotel is just off Kensington Gardens, a fab place to unwind and have a coffee sitting in front of the fountains.The hotel is a tad jaded in the regency style with sloping floors, old fashioned but with character, a short walk from Paddington, the breakfast was good but the staff were really polite and attentive.

Hotel clean, good room, staff helpful, onsite car parking, great price. Could of had some tea and coffee making in the room.Saw 3 shows, all were excellent, you must see Wicked.

We had a last minute opportunity to visit London for one day. Booked hotel through Superbreak a few days in advance of travel. Having checked reviews of London Elizabeth Hotel on a number of other websites booked it through Superbreak as it gave best price. I was travelling with two childtren so had a triple room. It was at the top of the house (third floor) , no air conditioning but had a fan in the room. One double and one single fold up bed, really clean bathroom with great shower. Best way I feel to describe the hotel is "faded grandeur" - spotlessly clean, lovely staff but decor is a bit dated. Breakfast was very good fo the price we paid - continental or full english. Staff were very helpful with advice on day tours etc. Would definitely stay here again. We did the Big Bus Tour and Cruise on the Thames. Walked around the Tower of London and over Tower Bridge. Did London Dungeon Tour which the kids loved but I found a bit long - takes about two hours. They loved shopping on Oxford Street and so did I!

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Very clean and well situated next to the underground and Hyde Park but would have liked tea/coffee in the rooms on arrival

Hotel very good pleased that it was so close to the main shops and other interestin places transport was very good tube and busesWe will be going again at some stage and thanks to sara for all her hard work in arranging this holiday have already passed on to friends regarding these short holidays just to say thank you

we stayed at the London Elizabeth Hotel @ Lancaster Gate (we had been before) although it is very nosiy with the traffic the hotel itself is delightful & well situated, clean & quirky.Avenue Q - Totally brilliant excellent fantastic awesome ...but not for young children!!!!!

The hotel was odd with poor service. The room looked grubby and was decorated like Sherlock Holmes opium den! There were no tea and coffee facilities and a pot of tea for 4 cost nearly £10 - after a 3 hr drive.

The Hotel Elizabeth is clean, the beds comfortable, the breakfast fine and the staff super but the fabric of the building is worn out; the building and furnishings need either decorating or replacing.

This was an excellent break with the hotel at pains to do everything they could to make our break superb. The Sound Of Music is an excellent show, stage scenery magical, and cast very good

Hotel was most welcoming, just a little disappointed that no tea and coffee making facilities were provided in the rooms - although they did provide jugs of hot water.

Went to London for Hyde Park calling festival. All the bands were great except for Jet. Chris Cornell, Peter Gabrial, The Feeling, Aerosmith and Jason Mraz were particularly good.Went to Campden Market on Sunday morning which was fantastic, its absolutly huge although a lot of the stores sell the same things. The food was great.London Elizabeth hotel was not great, no tea or coffee in the very small room. Shower was the worst I have ever had - it was like a tap and only had about 4 holes. On the plus side breakfast was fab.

We got on the Big Bus Company tour, you can get off and off at most attractions and your ticket is valid for 24 hours, we saw most of the sites by doing this.We went to support family running in the London Marathon getting around on the day was very difficult, so get out early and get a good view point early.Don't try and do too much in a day because a lot of the day is spent getting from one place to another.

This was just an overnight stop on our way to stay in Brussels.We did not visit any attractions.

Hotel lovley, food excellent, looked at all the attractions had wonderful time.

Obtain travel card for underground and buses. Great choice and children under 11 go free and others ove 11 £1.00. great value.Show amazing, although expensive well worth it.Zoo being updated at moment, would be better in spring or summer.

3 night break in London, returning after 7pm on the 4th day. train journey interseting rather crowded but fare fantastic.Used daily London run about ticket £5.10 brilliant. Walked to many places and avoided normal tourist spots.

A great weekend was had by all of our friends & family. The hotel was excellent, the staff being very , very helpful. The sight seeing in London was fantastic only problem was that a prebooked flight on the London Eye was cancelled due to "technical problems".The best by far was the musical The Sound of Music.

I travelled to several architectural sites as well as to the Natural History Museum. The top deck of a traditional bus is a great way to see London, but the bendy buses are useless.Never travel in London without using an Oyster Card. They are very convenient and give massive savings.

I bought a travel card for £5.10 which gave me free travel for as many journeys as possible on the tube, I think it also covered buses as well but I did not try them. A very good deal as I understand it is approximately £3.00 per tube journey even if it is just one stop.Just as an aside - I was disappointed that the hotel did not have tea and coffee making facilities in the room. Every hotel I have stayed at in London has provided this facility. Surely it would be in their interests to provide this.

The hotel was being decorated and so there were builders outside my room. In fact, when I first arrived at my room, they had wedged the door open and were charging their phones in my room.The window in my room was cracked and the bottom catch was broken.The floor and wall tiles in the bathroom were cracked and broken.The lift kept breaking down (and I was on the 4th floor).All-in-all a very shabby place to stay.

Booked a one night stay at the London Elizabeth Hotel, Lancaster Gate, as a treat for my 15 year old daughter and her friend. We booked the train from Shropshire to London return through Superbreak. Wonderful weekend - did plenty of shopping in Oxford St and Covent Garden - wish we had more time in Covent Garden.To get around I bought an adult and 2 child day run around tickets for zones 1 and 2 on the underground for £6.90 total per day, so as well as shopping we made flying visits to all the sights and historic locations.The hotel was basic, but very clean, warm and certainly comfortable enough for a night's stay. The breakfast was continental with as much to eat as you wanted, with a £4 supplement to have English. The hotel and train fare for the three of us cost £145 - excellent value. Will certainly do it again.

Walk through Hyde Park great for people watching. Walk round Covent Garden, great shopping & eating Oxford street on Sunday not as busy

IT was very hot when we were on holiday but it was great fun arriving at the hotel and being able to go fro a stroll in Kensington Gardens where we ended up at Diana's Memorial Fountain and then having dinner in the Black and Blue Restuarant in Glouster road. The children enjoyed the mead and then a run through the park back to the hotel. The Tower of London was very good and it had the best cafeteria for children and cold water available to drink without having to pay for it. The Big Bus Company Tour and boat trip of London was excellant and very informative.

Wimbledon Tournament, River Cruise, St. Paul Cathedral, Westminster Cathedral, Rocket Restaurant, Bond Street

I was down for work which involves visiting galleries and Pulse Trade Fair at Earls Court. Memorable moment was sitting in Hyde Park watching the fountains across the road from the hotel-the sun was behind them and the wind was swirling creating wonderfully ethereal misty shapes above the pools.
