"Very pleasant" I stayed at the Duke of Leinster on my very first trip to Europe, or London for that matter. It has a VERY good location, a five minute walk to a tube station and down the street from many little shops and markets where you might want to pick up any items you may want or need. The hotel itself is very small, but nice. If you are afraid of small spaces, do NOT take the elevator. The elevator can hold two people, max, and if you both want to bring your suitcases in with you, practice squeezing into small spaces :) The stairs work just as effectively but tend to slant and have no railing. Just be careful and you'll get used to it. The room was adequate for three travelers, but the bathroom door is see-through so try and hang a towel over it if you so desire. The free breakfast was rather good and the hotel staff was very helpful. My traveling companions and I were going to Paris after our stop in London and a lovely gentleman at the desk kindly helped us out by printing directions to our hotel in Paris from Gare du Nord station, very very nice of him. Overall, the Duke of Leinster is a very nice hotel.

"Overall A Decent Hotel" We stayed at the Duke Of Leinster for 8 nights in June. The first night we were put into a room little bigger than a closet, in which there was no storage, and access to the bathroom was difficult without tripping or climbing over the bed. But happily when the following morning we asked for a larger room given our lengthy stay, we were graciously upgraded at no extra cost into a much bigger room. The continental breakfast was wonderful, though it would have been nice if the yoghurt and milk would have been kept cold. The neighborhood is basic London, nothing special, but relatively quiet, and it is just a short walk to Kensington Park and to Queensway Road. Two tube stations (Bayswater on Circle Line, & Queensway on Central) are within an easy 5 minute walk. Paddington Station is an easy 7-10 minute walk. The rooms were clean, the daily service was thorough, and the staff throughout the hotel were always pleasant and helpful. There is no WiFi or Internet access, except for the lobby computer which charged an outrageous 6 GBP for 15 minute's use. The shopping center (Whitbey's, I believe it was called) a short distance away on Queensway had computers you could use for a more reasonable rate of 2 pounds for 2 hours. The only other complaint about the hotel was that no recycling was offered, even though there is presently a big push in London for residents to recycle more. All in all, if you just want a good home base hotel with nothing fancy but in a good neighborhood with easy access to tube stations and a variety of restaurants and grocers, the DofL is a good choice.

"Excellent budget hotel" This is a good example of a budget hotel. Whilst you pay less, it was clean and comfortable.Our room was small, but we were only in it to sleep and shwer so this didn't matter. The breakfast was good, and the staff extremely helpful- I left my jacket in the hotel and they posted it back to me. I had it within a week. We would recommend it. It is a clean budget hotel. The area is fantastic, you can walk to Hyde Park. It is not rough etc as another review suggests. We would stay here again.

"Great Value" In a great location, just off the Bayswater road and aprox 10 mins from Lancaster Gate tube. Room was an ok size looked clean & modern. Nice bathroom though a bit on the small side. Room has a TV, safe and fridge. There is 24hr reception and the staff are friendly. The breakfast room is a bit small for the size of the hotel - you have to time it right to get a table but there is a great choice to eat with cereals, toast, fruit, pastries cheese & eggs and you can pay a bit more for a cooked breakfast. There are some nice bars and restaurants within walking distance but as it is on the central tube line you can get anywhere quickly. All in all a great hotel and good value. Would definitely go back.
