I stayed at the Byron in early February with two other women. The "triple" was a double with a roll-away, but was perfectly comfortable since we were only in the room to sleep and get ready. Our package included a "Continental Breakfast" which was MORE than enough to keep us going all morning (and saved us at least $10 per day). The location was excellent - less than 5 mins walk from two separate tube stops with connections to anywhere you wanted to go. The bathroom was a separate bath and WC, which was convenient, and they were sparkling clean the entire time. The flat-screen TV and desk were helpful. We three women felt very safe in the neighborhood. There's ample dining, shopping and an internet cafe within easy walking distance. Don't be put-off by the slightly shady hostels fronting Bayswater or the tacky souvenier shops nearby. Seriously, this is a great hotel for the money.
TERRIBLE TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE

This is the WORST hotel that I've ever stayed at. The rooms look nothing like the picture. I had a single room as I was passing through town on business. The room was dirty and worn, the bathroom was disgusting. Everything about this room was grimy and worn. Not to mention that it wasn't particularly convenient to get to the airport or central london from this location. The neighbourhood of the hotel itself had absolutely nothing good to offer. Would never ever stay in this hotel, total waste of money.
Vacation trip for 5 people to Byron Hotel in London

We had 5 adults on this trip and we had 2 rooms booked - the staff was very friendly and helpful- we had questions on side trips and best way to travel to these destinations in London and the staff was an excellent resource- all special requests were honored with smile. The free breakfast was sparse but good quality - the rooms were clean and roomy. The Hotel decor was charming and the location was perfect for us. Close to tubes and buses and nice restaurants. We would stay at this Hotel again in the future.

I wanted to avoid chain hotels and stay in an english hotel. I could not have picked a better one! The byron was warn in spots but the ambience was authentic. A perfect mix of old and new. Very clean with excellent maid service, great english breakfast,super size tub and wall mount tv. It also made a great impression on my 17 year old son and that in itself is an excellent review.
A Great Starting Point

Our only problem was the small room size, but since we weren't in London to hand out in a room it worked out fine! The staff were always available and incredibly attentive, and the gals at breakfast were all very nice! We would definitely stay again, as it was close to several tube stations and restaurants--a great starting point. And the water pressure in the shower was excellent, especially after a long day walking in London!
