I do NOT recommend a stay here due to the complex procedure for receiving the access (key)code which required several phone calls at night while we stood helplessly at the entrance trying to get in. Very aggravating and time consuming. In addition the so-called "flat" turned out to be a tiny cramped room located in the basement and was hot--there was no cross ventilation at all from the one barred window. The bed linens were also stained. Shower was too tiny/narrow for any adult! Very expensive for what it was. Only plus was that it was walking distance from Paddington. There are plenty of other small hotels on nearby streets--suggest you check those out instead if you want to stay in this neighborhood.

Family break
Overall a good stay in a clean little apartment in a very convenient location. Good accommodation for families, although our neighbours were a bit loud. Accommodation had everything we needed for our stay, but some of the facilities weren't brilliant (toaster didn't work properly and one of the windows didn't close all the way).

Don't stay here. You'll get better elsewhere
Definitely echo the other negative reviews on this place. I'm at a loss as to why it has so many good reviews. Firstly, it wasn't so easy to find. There is no "Hyde Park Apartments" sign, just a street number. Secondly, I was asked the property name for which I'd booked. On the wall in reception there are two signs, one for Hyde Park Apartments and another for Paddington Apartments. I find this a little suspicious as there was no obvious separation between two accommodations, they appeared to be the same, but operating under two names (perhaps rebranding once their reviews slide?). The room was simply OK, but very much on the small side. There were no bedside tables, so I had to pop my water and phone on the floor. The TV had awful signal, but randomly there was an aerial socket on the opposite wall. The TV remote was really very grubby, like it had never been cleaned. There were two spotlights above the mirror in the bathroom that I had no idea how to turn off, so light filtered out into the room under the door crack at night (I had to wedge a towel there to block it out). The shower head wouldn’t stay up and kept sliding down. I mean, I’m really running out of characters here! The aparthotel may respond to this with a generic company response/comeback saying they wish I’d let them know or they’ll strive to improve. I travel all the time for work and I know by now what’s good and what’s not. For your money, you're much better off finding somewhere else. Simple.

Self-catering stay in great location
Great location close to Paddington Station. Our apartment (no 9) was on the second floor at the rear of the building. No lift, but we were prepared for that. The small kitchen was suited to our needs. The room had a new sleeper couch that is fine for a child. The only negative is the noise that is very loud from the room above when the occupants merely walk around or move their dining chairs and from those walking on the staircase.

Great location for London sightseeing.
This property was in the perfect location for us. Staff were friendly and helpful, especially as there are no lifts, and they helped with our cases. No air conditioning was a problem during the London August heatwave. We just survived with 2 pedestal fans provided. Otherwise apartment was comfortable.

big room, kitchenette was good, although could have used a few more dishes. Bathroom good. But sofa bed was awkward leather and not a real mattress and couldn't be made up to a proper bed. It wasn't clear that there was no elevator and it was hard to carry our suitcases up two very long flights of stairs. The desk staff said someone would assist, but no one ever did.

Close quarters, but adequate and convenient to public transport and Paddington station
Because there is an on-site front desk, this place felt more like an extended stay hotel, although the size would limit that type of functionality. Accessed via a narrow stairway, the below ground floor unit we were in barely had room for two people to pass each other in the entry hall/kitchen and bedroom. The kitchen was not adequately stocked for real cooking, but adequate for toast and tea/coffee. Not a place to spend many hours in except for sleeping. The bed was a memory foam comfortable mattress. The proximity of Hyde Park and local metro lines as well as Paddington Station is very nice. The unit was clean. The bedroom windows opens to a sunken patio where the neighbor noise could get annoying.

Too much noise
I was very disappointed that our room was in the basement. There was a lot of noise! It sounded like there was a washing machine on all the time and it was the maid's courters or something. It was also cold since there were two doors that led to the outside. I know we can't control other tenants but the guy above us was walking back and forth all the time! Late at night and early in the morning... The wifi was terrible, being in the basement. I would not stay again. There are so many other places.

I stayed as I was running the London Half Marathon. The service was great and the apartment was clean with good amenities. I slept on the sofa bed in room 9 which wasn’t the most comfortable sleep but good stay all the same.

TLC required
The Appartments are ideally situated close to underground stations and Hyde Park/Kensington Gardens. Downsides were. Sofa bed was old, worn and covered in stains. Shower room was mouldy and the seals around the shower tray needed re-doing. It also could of done with extra comfortable seating in the lounge as we needed to bring the uncomfortable kitchen chairs in to watch TV. Overall it's ok for a base but for the £240 price tag for one night it was about of a let down.

Nice and quiet area
Apartment was in a brill location 3 tube stations very close, 5 min walk away. We had no problems with checking in or the staff or anything. Apartment was lovely, was very easy to warm the room up and had a fan incase was too hot. The only thing I would say is the apartments could be cleaner for example they do basic cleaning but lots of dusts in corner of room and bathroom etc, could just be done a bit better. Other than that brilliant stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The apartment was a good size for the cost in London, and in a good location (only about 10 minutes walk from 2 tube stations). It was fairly well equipped. Some strange omissions though - in a family-sized flat without a dishwasher, there are no tea towels, drying racks or dish mops supplied. (We resorted to a bath towel). And you can't turn off the light from the beds (with no bedside tables or lamps either), which is odd. Essentially it was comfortable though, the wifi was good, and it served our family of 4 well for the week.

Practical, safe location and friendly staff
The Paddington location was fairly practical. The station and the tube are an easy walk to the apartment, which was nice and clean. The staff were accommodating and very friendly. The only negatives were the size of the bathroom and shower, and the amount of sound proofing; otherwise, I very much recommend the property.
