Mercure London Hyde Park Hotel Review | Exceptional Location

London is full of amazing hotels and now I can add the Mercure London Hyde Park Hotel to the list of my favourites. If you are after a hotel that has Instagram worthy interior design, friendly staff, amazing amenities, unique rooms, great facilities in the middle of the busy London Paddington district yet situated in a quiet square, then this is the hotel for you. Combine that with being in an exceptional location at a mid-range price, then you've found the best hotel in London for it's price range and I genuinely believe that to be the case.

This boutique style hotel which has recently undergone a complete refurbishment boasts 78 well designed guest bedrooms with Victorian style windows, high ceilings and a warm town house feel through-out. This iconic London hotel is located just a 3 min walk from Paddington train and tube stations, with Heathrow airport being 15 minutes away via Paddington Express. You can take a short walk to Hyde Park or Oxford Street for a bit of high-street shopping. 

I felt at complete ease during my whole stay in this hotel and that is partially down to the relaxed, professional atmosphere given off by the management team which filters down to the other members of staff and it felt like a great place to work. The interior also contributed to this relaxed feel due to the bright areas which let in lots of light from the large windows, then cozy darker areas to cocoon yourself in when wanting time out or privacy reading the morning newspaper.

The rooms and suites are possibly the most impressive aspect of this hotel, no expense has been sparred on their designs, just look at the photos which are completely non-edited and taken exactly as the room was presented. The first thing I noticed was the Tom Dixon lighting as I'm a massive fan of his interiors and have some of those light-shades at home also, so it's safe to say that we both have exceptional taste! 

The rooms include a full array of facilities including air conditioning, safety deposit boxes, WIFI, telephone, iron, free in-room mineral water, work desk, minibar and coffee/tea making facilities. For a full list of room ammenities, check out their website directly, here.

If you require a larger room, speak to the hotel and ask for one of their individual suites which have a massive living area, more storage space, a huge bathroom with a double sized shower and a massive bed with an excess of cushions. 

Finally this hotel has more than just a great interior designer and an exceptional location. It also houses a gym complete with cardiovascular fitness machines, weight machines and free weights. There's also a bar, restaurant and meeting facilities so if you are a business traveler, on holiday or someone who wants to enjoy a staycation to London, before you book your hotel, I urge you to consider the Mercure London Hyde Park Hotel.
