double room classic
The unique character of this Victorian building is inherent in the individuality of size, shape, furnishings and decor of each and every bedroom.
The classic bedrooms contain either one double bed or two single beds and have been created to provide comfortable and relaxing atmosphere.
Wherever possible, a special or pleasant feature has been incorporated into some of these bedrooms. Such a feature could range from a recessed desk area to split level or terrace or veranda. These rooms face either the back garden and car park (which is very quiet) or overlook Hyde Park (front of the building).
The deluxe bedrooms are available as twin or double bedded. They offer a high level of luxury and comfort for the most discerning guests with an atmosphere of an elegant country house living room rather than a city centre hotel. They are fully air-conditioned and furnished with accessories and objects d'art reflecting the highest standard of elegant Victorian living.
These rooms can offer any of a range of wonderful additional features such as furnished balcony, antique fireplace, galleried split-level or four poster bed.
Most of the deluxe twin bedrooms face the back garden and car park (which is very quiet) and all the Deluxe double rooms are overlooking Hyde Park (front of the building).
Facilities include en-suite bathroom with hairdryer, satellite TV, broadband Internet access, direct dial telephone, personal safety deposit box and writing desk.

London is not a cheap city. And this hotel confirm this theory. But it is at 10mt from the Lancaster Gate underground station. And at 20Mt from one of the most important Hyde park access. Lancaster gate is in the center of london, at only 1 metro station (central line) from Oxford Street. The Hotel is clean and rooms very large. But breakfast is not special and price very very hight (150 Euro/night for a double room). Internet Access is completly free and WIFI working on every room (ask for the password at reception). Rooms are not perfectly the same as shown on pictures, but they are very very similar. So, if you are searching for a decent hotel in a fantastic and logistic place, this is the hotel for you.

Free upgrade to a suite was nice. The bathroom was clean, spacious and had ample towels and toiletries. ontinental breakfast was good with unlimited quantities available. This hotel is a little higher priced than other hotels in the neighbourhood but the higher price gives excellent value. I can recommend this hotel.

Although the location is excellent and the staff very friendly, the hotel is shabby and some of the rooms need refurbishing urgently. Our request to move rooms was handled in a friendly and efficient manner as the first room we were given was one of the said rooms that needs redecorating.
Breakfast was excellent, food in the restaurant was lovely although service was slow.

Acceptable for a stay close to HydePark and not too far away from the center of town. A little too expensive, though - I would always suggest someting a little cheaper and a little bit further away (like in Notting Hill). Breakfast is poor and you really have to whatch out that you don't get a room facing the street. In the first night we had such a room (a bus stop in front of our window) and we could not sleep longer than abot 10 times 10 minutes ;-) Overall not a bad place but certainly nothing I would suggest to a friend or I would stay at a second time... !!!

We had an excellent stay at London Elizabeth. The location is ideal, a few steps from the bus and Metro. I would definitely stay there again. The rooms were nice. The breakfast was fine. We had the European style included in the rate. Hot breakfast was ~4pounds extra. My teenage daughter loved the croissants, muffins, yogurt of the European Style Breakfast.
They had free wireless internet which was convenient. It was not always working through the entire stay, but it was pretty reliable. The staff were very helpful, although not all information was adequate. Many things were closed on New Year's Day and we actually were easily able to get tickets for an exhibition at the British Museum, both things were contray to information from staff, but they tried to be helpful and some things just warrant checking on your own.
Also we needed an extra bed for a guest during our visit. We found out that "cot" means "crib"...so don't get confused by that.

The first room we were shown to was very tiny and claustrophobic and was hardly a double room, but the staff at the reception were helpful and changed us to a better room which was more spacious. the lift unbelievably small and very slow!! the breakfast was not very good but enough although the coffee awful. however we enjoyed our stay and would
probably go there again as it was adequate for what we needed and near tube station.

Excellent service from the receptionists. Nice and comfortable hotel as british hotels go. It was old and showing, but the rooms were clean and tidy. The bathroom solution could have been better, but also this was at all times nice and clean.
WiFi Access as promised.
The closeness to Hyde Park, the Underground, buses etc. made it very good.
The only major let down was that there is only a single layer of glass towards the street, making the noise from outside quite noticable. A double layer would have made it a lot quieter. So if you sleep lightly this is not the hotel for you. I have been told they have rooms towards the back garden which are supposed to be nice and quiet, but I was not able to obtain one.
PS the elevator is very small and not for claustrophobic people.

My room was located at the dark basement floor. Hallway was under repair, so the first impression was "Oh no!". However I became felt better as I got used to it. The room was spacious and clean though it is old. It was uneasy to open curtain and window because the parking site is just outside of the window and the ground is at that level.

Il servizio ha deluso le mie aspettative e quelle del mio ospite. Il servizio e’ scadente,. Per ben due volte sono rimasto chiuso nell’ascensore. Le porte della camera si aprivano continuamente a causa di un evidente disorganizzazione del personale delle pulizie. Gli asciugamani nei bagni insufficienti e le camere trascurate.

The London Elizabeth is such a charming period hotel. It's staff is partiularly warm and helpful, whether it's to suggest a restaurant or arrange for a car hire. We love the look and feel of the hotel, as if we'd stepped back in time. Just what we were looking for during our holiday in London. The triple room we booked was particularly spacious.

We were very pleased with our stay. We were close to the underground and Hyde Park was across the street. We had a waitress from Poland for dinner one night and each morning at the buffet who was super. She even helped us get a cab when we were leaving. Sorry I don't remember her name. The buffet was quite good-nice variety of foods. Loved the ceiling fan in the room--such a novelty in the UK! I will book this hotel again when I come to London.

The room was quite noisy as it is facing to a busy road thus might be though during hot summer with open window.
As it was not as hot as I require opening the window when I stayed there, it did not disturb me so much to sleep.
The room was very small. The room was just full with 4 single beds placed just like a puzzle. However, acceptable when compare to the price I paid especially in London.
Location was great as it is less than a minute to the underground station and plenty of bus stops were located around the hotel. It is also walking distance from Paddington Station thus good for those utilize Heathrow Express.

The hotel has a rather old interior furnishings, and for the price charged should offer more modern installations (such as those in the bathroom), which we found below class for the price. For my case (4 persons in a room) it was not spacious. Notwithstanding this, the stay was OK.

This hotel is very conveniently located to Paddington Station - about a 10 minute (safe) walk. Because of this, it makes it attractive to stay here after taking the train in from the Airport. It is across the street from a Tube station that is reasonably close to where I go (Bond St., Oxford Circus, etc.), so it's quite quick to get where I want to go in the morning.
The bed was a _little_ tired / standard. The desk space was adequate for a business user to do their work. The bathroom sink counter was showing some age. But the rest of the fixtures were high quality. The free-standing closet and drawer furniture were perfectly adequate for several days' stay, and was big enough to handle luggage storage..
Most important to me, the wireless Internet worked flawlessly - which was the only place in the 3-country trip I did (this time) that did so. And, it was free (built into the room cost.)
One note: The lift (elevator) is terribly small. One person plus a rolling suitcase will fill the small compartment. If 2 people are travelling, plan on riding up separately.
This is definitely a place I'll stay again.

The hotel was ok, and not very expensive. They were redecorating the very narrow corridor(which was needed)which leeded to our room. The workers seemed a little bit surprised that we where coming. And they clared up so we could pass through. Not very much space in the room, but for that price, and remembering that we were just going to sleep there it was all that we needed. No problem to sleep there another time!

The location of the hotel is great for exploring London. Outside noise from the street is loud but is pretty standard for large cities. The quad on the forth floor they put us in was incredibly cramped. The elevator didn't work on the last day and we had to haul our luggage downstairs by ourselves. When my wife spoke to an employee about the elevator, she was told "it's not working". Duh. There was no offer to help with the luggage or even to call someone to help. The service in the restaraunt was terrible. The continental breakfast was barely edible.

As previous reviewers have noted, the rooms are very noisy due to poor windows and a very busy street. Bring ear plugs. The quad room was a large double room with two extra cots. They were ok for young children but not older teenagers. On the positive side, the staff are extremely friendly and professional, the location is nice and the rooms are quite ok. We would stay again.

The location next to Hyde Park is good, the hotel and the rooms are old, but OK, the room we got was very small (not like on the picture) and the bed was small and really terrible. If we do not get a larger room next time with a much better bed, we will go for something else.
