BARGAIN LONDON HOTEL BY HYDE PARK
Best Western Phoenix

Making a short trip to London for a few meetings and looking for a good quality but fair priced hotel. Try the Best Western Phoenix Hotel. Convenient to Paddington Station and the Heathrow Express by a short cab ride or a block from the tube station. The rooms are a bit smallish, but verry typical for London and a converted 19th Century Victorian Town House.

You walk out the door and feel of period England and expect to hear the clop-clop of Sherlock Holmes (see Sherlock Holmes Pub) passing in a Hansom Cab, pursuing Dr Jeckles' Mr. Hyde. The room had fresh tree-lined view of the small Kensington Square Park (not to be confused with Kensington Park a few blocks away), a cheerful staff, and very convenient to the tube, a stroll through Hyde Park and a visit to the Princess Diana fountain at Kensington Palace. And nearly across the street from Whitley's Shopping Complex.

The area of Bayswater is a little touristy, with gift card shops and Internet cafes, a Starbucks. The tube stop is a block away and there are some reasonably good restaurants and bars nearby. The little hotel bar and lounge a pleasant spot to relax.

And when I stupidly left my home house key ring in the hotel safe lock and went on to Milan. A call from another Best Western property tucked away along Italy's Lake Garda (see Big Lake Playland) easily got my keys sent back home. © Bargain Travel Europe
