Yes, great location and some very great staff

First night not so good, but Isma at reception followed through with initiative and fixed it wonderfully with a much better room at the same price. She called us....we did not have to nag. Wonderful location, and upper floors are sufficiently quiet.....reasonable value.

Go to the pond/fountain at the Lancaster Gate entrance to Kensington Gardens/Hyde Park. It is a very pleasant place to see ducks and a swan, happy children, and interesting, helpful people.

First Time at the Grand Plaza

I booked the Grand Plaza simply as it was cheap in comparison to others hotels and serviced apartments offered. I paid ÂŁ120 for one night whereas my usual places were wanting double. Staff were very helpful and cheerful, the apartments are great, mine was small, however it was clean and ideal for my stay and much bigger than a normal hotel room with separate bedroom / bath and shower wc / kitchen and lounge The apartments have been formed out of some old houses and whilst it's a bit of a rabbit warren, it's quirky and all in a all a pleasant place to stay

Very Good Location!

Since there were three of us it was important to have a little more space. We really liked having the kitchen and the recently updated bathroom was excellent. We were close enough to the underground and we did everything on our Tourist List for a first-timer. We would come back.

The reduced rate ticket booth at Leicester Square is the best value in the city of London.

Comfortable spacious hotel convenient to the city center

Their is a lot of space for good value compared to other places in the city. The neighborhood is very quiet and the nearest tube station is just four blocks away. The staff was very nice as well. As Americans we missed ice machines, but the staff was happy to bring it to us. We were also glad that they provided us with coffee each day. We would definitely return.

Great apartment in a good location

The room was very comfy, especially the double. There was good service, which helped when there was a lack of bedding for the sofa bed. Although we didn't use the kitchen area it was well equipped and clean. It was in a good location, right by Hyde Park and the underground. All in all, it was a lovely apartment. Wish we were staying for longer..
