ABBEY COURT HOTEL - HYDE PARK, London

Single, double, triple, quadruple and family rooms are available. All rooms have a private bathroom with a shower; some bathrooms on lower ground floors are very small and low-ceilinged. Kettles and tea/coffee are provided in rooms. Many rooms are on the small side, so they are best suited for guests who plan to spend the day out. Rooms away from the street tend to be quieter. The lift serves all floors but is slow and the corridors are narrow. Windows vary - some open fully, some are sealed - and rooms can feel warm in summer; a desk fan is available on request. Daily housekeeping is standard.

Breakfast is available from 07:30 to 09:30 and includes bread, pastries, juice, hot drinks and cold buffet items. The hotel does not have a restaurant or bar for lunch or dinner, but a wide range of pubs, restaurants and cafés are within a few minutes' walk near Paddington Station. In-room dining is not offered. For those who prefer a lighter start, the breakfast is a standard continental offering - filling but not extensive.

There is no spa, swimming pool or fitness facility on site. Hyde Park is a short walk and offers extensive green space, jogging paths and boating on the Serpentine. For leisure guests, the hotel's main strength is its location - Paddington Station provides fast access to all of London's attractions.
