Grand Hôtel Bellevue

Superb

All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent. The team behind the hotel had obviously put a lot of time and money into making it feel like a boutique hotel. It’s pretty much impossible to relax here thanks to the, quite frankly, abysmal soundproofing. The people next door may as well have been sharing my room. They got up at 3:35am to catch a flight from Heathrow, which meant I also got to enjoy their conversations, last-minute packing and coffee-making in impressively high-definition audio. I now know far more about their early-morning travel preparations than I ever expected to. I appreciate that hotels can’t control what time guests get up, but they can control the soundproofing. This was genuinely poor, and I think the hotel should at least make guests aware of it when booking. There were a couple of other issues too. The body soap in my room hadn’t been refilled, and the light next to the bed simply wouldn’t turn off. The only solution was to switch off all the electrics in the room, which also meant switching off the air conditioning on one of the hottest days of the year. A slightly unfortunate choice between sleeping with the light on or slowly roasting in the dark. Overall, not exactly the restful night I had in mind.

Very good

Beautiful place, room very small and the sink was so tiny it was impossible to wash my face without getting soaked. It’s in a great spot near the train station Bathroom too small

The location was perfect for where we needed to be. The room wasn’t small it was tiny. It was as though one room had been split into two. There was no room to move around. You couldn’t call the bathroom a bathroom due to its size. The people in the room next to us had a major argument in the early hours and it sounded as though they were in the room with us.

Close to paddington station and Hyde park; perfect! Nice atmosphere and polite staff! Clean and overall ver nice hotel Only small thing; a bit thin-walled… I heard every move my ”neighbours” made…

Discreet, very comfortable. N/a

Exceptional

The front desk staff was very accommodating to our needs, and they were very courteous.

Close to the station and very clean. In an areas that is noisy. Rooms are tight!

Very nice decor and quality of fittings etc No hot water on the second day. Also, the power points on the bed wall did not work. I paid £330 for this room. Hard to believe it had-such poor facility. Hotel did not offer any discounts for the issues.

Conveniently located near Paddington Station for those who are arriving London by train. Approachable price point. Overall, rooms are well designed albeit small, and shared spaces are thoughtfully designed. While proximity to train station is great, location of hotel and surrounds feels a bit questionable for a solo female traveler (especially in the evening). Walls are also extremely thin so you can easily hear conversations of other visitors.

Be-a-uttttiful property in such a sweet little spot close to Hyde park! Staff was very accommodating and able to get us a very early check in, which we appreciated after our red-eye. The small details of the room/building itself were lovely. When they say compact room, they mean cooooompact! With 2 checked bags I felt like we were stumbling and climbing over each other and our things just to get to the bed. Not the end of the world, but definitely worth noting before schleping your big bags in!

Practical and reliable. Decent room rate. Quiet and clean. No hooks for coats in room. Inadeqate wardrobe to unpack. No full length mirror. Room just missing some basic functionality. Tiny bathrooms.

Superb

The hotel is very clean. The location is wonderful, near the Paddington station. And it is very quiet, except for the noise from the rail line underground. Breakfast is very simple and the room is small.
