I've been to this hotel with my wife last November. The location is very good, walking distance to 2 subway stations and nice neighborhood. The staff is really friendly and breakfast is better than expected. The lowlights were about the overall accommodations. I've been to small rooms in France and Italy, but have never seen a room so small. We... more

This was a great find for Central London! It's just north of Hyde Park, so a great location, for a great price. They have 24-hr desk service. It is easily accessible to Underground - it's a short from/to either Paddington Station or Lancaster Gate Station. It has a lift, which is very helpful with heavy bags! The street was quiet... more

If you are talking about value for money then I suppose this hotel is very competitively priced and has an excellent location for visiting the sights of London. If, however, you have certain standards of cleanliness and hygiene then this hotel's ranking drops significantly.

Best station to get to this hotel is the Lancaster Underground Station. You'll know what I mean when you get there. It is much easier and shorter to access to and from about the underground.

Reading all the reviews here, I booked 4 nights at the Crownwall in August '07. Overall, I'd say it's a good deal (given the prices in London hotels these days). Good points were that it was in a decent location near tube stops (Lancaster Gate - 6 minute walk, Paddington Station, 12 minute walk), the street isn't *too* busy (see... more

My wife and I stayed here for two nights The location is great. 5 minutes walk to a couple of tube stations, and closer to several pubs, restaurants and Hyde Park. The staff were friendly, and the room very clean, with tea/coffee. The only downside was that the room was very small(Rm 31) for two people and too warm with... more

The Crownwall is a real gem and I've stayed there several times. OK, some of the rooms are rather small, but you always get that in London. It is well-maintained, spotlessly clean, the staff are friendly and helpful and it's fantastic value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. more

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Crownwall for two nights in April. The location and price were perfect. The hotel staff were wonderful and very accomodating. The rooms are VERY small, but given the price, there has to be some downside! I would definitely stay there again! more
